    Those are some polished pixels ;)

    I do not know what Transolar Galactica is but its great that you are releasing a free game ,as in really free. Now you just need to make an Android port so I can experience it too.

    Unfortunately it won't be free, we are charging $.99 but it's totally worth it :)
    The Android port is coming next!

    AH no worries , it is still great that you are making a real game that does not have all its functionality tied into all the IAP rubbish.

    I would MUCH rather pay a dollar for a game and get a REAL game as opposed to expecting everything to cost nothing and then getting some monetization mechanics disguised as a game ;)

    Totally with you on this, plus, we have 30 minutes of video in the game itself, which is probably worth a little more, but we want to make a kick ass game that people will enjoy.

    Looks cool, but it seems like your pixels could use a bit of refinement. Pixel art is actually pretty hard to get right -- every little detail counts -- so cleaning it up is important. Maybe it's a stylistic choice, but if you want your game to look more polished you could definitely do it. I won't say what lots of people have said before, so here are some links to some really good pixel art resources:

    Unfortunately, you're likely to find that most of the people browsing the store disagree.

    The Transolar Galactica crew is at Rose City Comic Con promoting the web series, and we made a special port of Robot Rundown for OSX so they could put it up on a larger screen and let people play with a game controller. If you are in the Portland area, they should be there tomorrow as well.
