Only thing i didnt change was to make a light background version for certain text, it was too much contrast i felt... but let me know what you think. I think im going to start passing this around... it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it. (the internet could rip it to shit)...

You make a really good point ZOOP and it's something i wrestled with during that whole renaming process. It was hard because the simpler the name, the greater the chance i would run into copyright issues again, but in general, i tried to think about who would be playing this, and I always go back to 'guys like me' and 'guys like me' dig the name. I ran some names by friends and family and in general they all liked the more elegant stylings of cosmochoria, but maybe it was based on their options.
But you're right, its a bit of a gamble to go with something more complex. Part of my reasoning was that it may help it stand out more.. And even though it is 5 syllables, it cemented my decision when my 4 year old son was able to remember the next day without being reminded of it. He still tells me 'Sprout' was a better name tho. :)
- a lot harder than picking a password, and once the name gets cemented that's it, roll with it. I like the name myselfZOOP

Any thoughts about an iPad port?. I could see this go down really well on a big touch screen.
- ALready been working on ipad port. ;) Touch screen controls need to be refined, but it's in the plans for sure.mantrakid

New Greenlight page is up & new name announced...

Sweet dude, thanks I am prepping for that already. Thinking maybe a "Tutorial" toggle on the home screen that gets turned off if you've done it once already, but can be re-enabled on the home screen in case you have a stroke or something.
Was the tutorial helpful you think?

Holy shit thank you so much dude.
Here's a vid for you guys (well for the dev forum, but maybe you'd like?). :) I talk a bit about the game while i show off my mad skillz (or lack thereof). Ill add you to the Dev group 9bit!!

bump. just voted for the official Greenlight. I am 9bit BTW

cool I just rated, I was wondering what your plans were, it could work well on Steam. Looking forward to seeing it develop.
It might beyond the scope of what you had in mind but it would be interesting to see it turn into less of a points getting type of game and more of a survival strategy where you are continually populating the planet life, letting it evolve and protecting it from aliens simultaneously.

@EKSEMA: Dock spaces ala: http://lifehacker.com/5993307/ea… -
it's a subtle thing, but i find it helps keep things organized a bit.. maybe im neurotic. By default, undocked items will always open on the right, so you can keep your 'always open' stuff organized on the left.
