Let's play the most distinguished game possible, the game of Mankind vs. the Universe, a story of fail and success, of victory and deprivation, of life and death.

I don't know where to start in this game! I only have R-1 rockets, and no available contract gives more money than R-1 costs. I couldn't unlock new types of rockets by getting level 2 of each research, and I spent almost all money doing it! This is sad, because the game is very appealing. Graphics are great, music is catchy, UI is comfortable. Oh, and you should add a white border to the mouse pointer, I can't see it on black background.
It's pretty unclear what you can and can't click and the cursor often disappears over objects of the same colour. Like windows does it should have a border ideally. Cool idea but I quickly got bored.
Good twist on the basics of Kerbal Space Program. The rocket launch animation got tedious after the first few ones. There were a lot of menus to navigate through, and it wasn't always clear what exactly had to be clicked on. Good game though!
I think that the idea is great, and the game has good things, but it needs more time, better design and be less boring. Good try and I'm sure that you next game will be better, I will cheer you ;-)
Very ambitious game. The graphics were cute, but the text is sometimes hard to read in the tutorial because of the background. Maybe put a bubble behind the tutorial text? I eventually had to stop playing because the mouse cursor was only moving about a pixel a second. Window 7 64 bit

Any chance of Linux build? It looks very interesting and I'd like to play it. If so, contact me on Twitter (@ViliX64)
The concept is really cool and I was starting to get into it with the research, but you need a way to refuse contracts so new ones appear, or you shouldn't be offered contracts which you can't complete. I managed one mission, and then never received another contract I could complete with my R1, even after taking 7 contracts randomly to get new options.
Cool! I had severe problems using the mouse at times, it was very unresponsive on certain screens. Also, I couldn't figure out how to get more powerful rockets.
Cool idea for a game. It seemed complex during the tutorial but actually I got the hang of it pretty quick. I took two contracts I could handle at the start, and one was a success but the other crashed. Cool!
After this it got tricky. Without understanding, I accepted a contract to send a rocket to Venus. Then my rockets said "Rocket has not enough power." Then I noticed that they are LEO and the second rocket LEO/GEO. So that made sense.
However, I later accepted contracts for LEO and GEO launches that were within my load capacity. But still it said "rocket has not enough power."
I was never able to conduct another launch for the rest of the game. I spent all of my profits from the first launch and all of my capital and even went negative, and got my research up enough to have R3.
So I had LEO, GEO, and Moon missions. I had the rockets for those orbit types. I had enough carrying capacity. But still the game wouldn't let me launch, always saying "rocket has not enough power." I did not understand and eventually gave up (after running my business into the ground).
Very cool concept but something went wrong, either I didn't understand, or there was a bug that having a Venus contract in my list prevented me from executing any other contracts.
Very interesting concept, though. I liked the approach and it was too bad I couldn't get deeper into this and reach out to the solar system.
Good concept and deep gameplay. However it need balancing with the contracts available and the amount we need to invest in research to be able to realize them. I tried several times and always get stuck on V2.

You need a very high level of each Technology to unlock a new rocket.
Hint:
At first do not spend much money on researching. It is better if you complete contracts first.

Still buggy, but hey - that's the spirit of LD.

(I did play the bugfix version)
Thank you for reporting this bug.
I am going to fix it today.
Did you write the song (wow)? What tools did you use?
