I downloaded this not long after you posted it (at the same time as Little Kingdom), but only just got around to playing it a day or two ago. It felt like a good early access of a game, but it felt very slow-paced and lacking in content (in a way that didn't seem like it's just because this is only a demo, but I could be wrong there). There's no multiplayer mentioned, but it seems like a game that could work in multiplayer, so it's a shame that it doesn't. I can't see very much replay value in it if it's singleplayer only.

Hopefully the final version will be a bit more fleshed out.

I haven't tried the demo, but it's on my watchlist.

I'm just a little concerned about the fact that they call it a "demo", and not "early access". That at least seems to communicate the idea that it's limited in breadth but not depth, which doesn't bode well IMO.

I did really like the "planet to system"...system. It's a simple mechanic, but quite clever.
