How to start playing this game? It's really not clear what to do. The instructions say to plant something from one asteroid on another asteroid, but there is only one asteroid. There is some kind of little insect flying around. Does this have something to do with the game?

I wonder what percentage of users try the demo and never figure out how to start the game. I'll bet it is high. Or maybe I'm just stupid.

OK , i managed to scroll out and see the other asteroid. Scrolling doesn't really work correctly. It would help if you explain to the user that they must use arrow keys to navigate.

This game could really use some better instructions or some kind of tutuorial to get players started.

Is this all there is to the demo? Plant 4 seedlings? I don't see how this is supposed to be fun.

If you read and act upon the tutorial text you will be fine, and no the very first level that teaches you the most basic controls is not all there is. :-)

(There is actually a lot of content in the demo, possibly too much considering the amount of email we get of people spending dozens of hours playing it.)

Have you tried using a mouse?

The demo is indeed slowly-starting and doesn't feature any advanced features at all. From playing the demo, I found the game to be a little dull but bought it anyway and there's alot more stuff coming. Still, the demo has more levels than the "Plant 4 seedings"

Don't forget there is an arena level that does offer advanced features! :-D
