| I'm cringing to even have to ask, but is this game OS: X native? Cuz I'm running the old MacOS on my PowerPC and the program won't open (it's recognized as a SimpleText file.) |

Yup, OS X only. You might be able to find OS X computers at a library or university or something, though.

Hi, first post. I saw the game on macupdate and thought it was pretty cool.  I had a few thoughts/suggestions:
Levitating up and down is kind of unintuitive, and makes it hard to pull off any hot piloting. A control scheme where the up and down arrow keys change your pitch (or a mouse 'look-at'), with another button for thrust would be nice, although I'm guessing that would probably involve big changes to how the orientation of the ship works. But that's my number one thought.
Also, it kinda ruins the illusion when you can bounce off a planet. I know there's the whole size and scale thing, but maybe there could be an invisible sphere just a bit larger than the planet for collisions?
Oh, and any chance the 3rd person camera could be pulled back a tad?
Anyway, that's just me, awesome game. Runs very well on my 600MHz iMac, nice job! |

I'm sorry to say this, Paul, but I agree with everything he said. BTW, check out Oolite Elite, maybe as an inspiration. That has awesome, though confusing, piloting. You might want to have it faster that that, though...
