Difficulty would be nice.

Like, limit the amount of arrows an enemy can fire at once, and the size, by the difficulty, or something like that.

I like where this is going.

Fun game!

I liked it.

One thing I didn't like was having to keep pressing in a planet in order to send more troops. Having the mouse "captured" felt a bit too limiting.

I prefer GalCon's solution; they had a "which percentage of your troops do you send for attacking" (33%, 66%, 100%) button. Then you just clicked origin and destination, and sent troops along. That allowed for much frantic action (which you will need when the AI starts doing intelligent stuff)

I don't think the planets are big enough to render it time-saving having to select a percentage.

If there were different size planets, that'd, I guess, be helpfull though.

If improvements are to be made, please add WASD support. Using the arrow keys in combination with the mouse is awkward at best.

Use both. I have a Trackpad and am left-handed. Requiring WSAD and the mouse is awkward at worst. Impossible at best. Or maybe the other way around.

I'm left-handed as well. That's why I used mouse + arrow-keys. But for the first patch version, I'll add WASD. You will also be able to use the mouse for scrolling then.

Gentlemen! A new version is released, containing many changes, such as:

Now uses desktop resolution for full screen
Makes AI a bit smarter
Makes AI arrows half a second longer on average
Adds scrolling with the mouse at the window edges
Adds WASD to control viewport
Adds different game types
Fixes bug where winning or losing a game, and pressing escape and starting a new game before the timer was up didn't stop the timer
Fixes bug where selected system stays selected when taken over

See the website for downloads.

Good times. Have you thought about adding "select several planets" so that you can swarm a single target? Also, what about size variety in the planets, so that there is a little more value tactics involved?

Loving the Eufloria vibe though.
