Launch satellites into space and let cities communicate and connect over interplanetary distances.
A few things not mentioned in the game:
- To further you launch from a planet the more it costs to launch, this cost is exponential.
- Each satellite costs you $$ per second.
- Each city pays you $$ per second for every other city it can connect to.
- Scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
- Hold Q to slow down time.
- Hold E to speed up time.
What was cut during development?
There was a spaceship you could launch and a predicted trajectory would be drawn. The only way to maneuver the ship was to turn on/off the back facing thruster and front facing thruster and the idea was you could only launch satellites from planets you were landed on. I cut it because I was running out of time and needed to work on the satellite and connectivity code, but you can still see it in the source code.
Built in Unity3D.
