This game is a sandbox game, with no defined end. Upgrade your sun and planets to expand even more.

Guiding an asteroid to collide with a planet will transfer the asteroids resources onto it, but if the asteroid is too big it will deplete the size of your planet.

WASD rotates camera
left click brings up object info
double click makes camera orbit object
1,2,3 to change the speed of time
left click an asteroid then click a planet to direct it towards it.

Neat idea but lots of bugs. A lot of the menu dialogs are cut off, and there's no explanation on how to do anything. The font is also very blurry. Asteroids seem to be flying randomly and will often clip through the planets/star.

The graphics seem pretty good and the music is alright.

I think you should work on fixing a few bugs so we can see the dialogs. Very nice idea though and looking forward to a bit more stable version!

Ambitious scope and pretty to look at, but controls don't seem to do anything and menus go over screen.

Very pretty, i wish there was some sort of tutorial to teach me how to play though!

The graphics are really great and the audio fits perfectly with the atmosphere.
However a tutorial would have been great to teach us the basics

great work to Irvine, the music is beautiful and suits the mood perfectly.
It's an interesting concept, but I don't really get why guiding a huge chunk of rock in to a planet would generate resources! haha, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Great work all round

Awesome look and feel. I like the idea, and I love the sun. I found it hard to click on asteroids, and a little unintuitive to direct asteroids to planets to gain resources. I liked just moving around and seeing the objects though.

Really good concept - turning this into a full project could result in a great space sim.

Enjoyed the ambient space music too!
