This would have been interesting if I knew what I was doing a bit more, its an interesting idea that you're managing the resources on different planets and you have the ability to move cargo and ships!

I tried on Mac and it boots fine and seems to work. But I couldn't figure out how to set a target in the game. I clicked the Set Target button and it returned me to the map of solar systems. I tried clicking a solar system (I assumed that's how you set it as a target?) but nothing happened :/ Maybe I wasn't doing it right?

you have to setup two bases and then from there you can select other bases to move cargo between sorry for not making that clear :P

This is an interesting game, seems very similar to another game I played on here. The graphics are pretty good and this definitely met the theme. Unfortunately, after figuring the game out, it didn't seem that challenging to play. It felt like I was just moving people and cargo around without any purpose or a need to overcome anything.

Nice idea but not much to it. Could do with a story or objectives.

Man, that last level was HELL! Great entry, the lo-fi graphics looked good and physics was pretty awesome!

Damn, accidentally commented wrong entry :(

The idea looked interesting to me ( I like strategies ), but the game could've greatly benefited from any kind of tutorial and a little bit of simulation, like other traders or trading automation.

A bit of a ramp up until I understood what to do, but it was fun. Managing resources, especially with more than one pool, is beyond me though so I suck at it

Nicely done! :D

I couldn't figure our how to start trading, maybe a bit of example screenshots/tutorial would help :)
