Cool

While it took me a while to get the hang of the mechanics, it was very interesting to play! I've never played anything like this, except maybe Spore (in Galactic stage). Nice entry!

Thanks for playing!

Pretty slow at first, but I so wanted to unlock the passangers and medicine so I kept playing and once I got to that point I wanted to get to the goal. I wish I could've kept playing past the money goal, I wanted to get to the far away planets

Thanks for playing
