HOW TO PLAY
Click the planet you want to move and chose a direction. You can either move forward, back or swap the orbit with another planet. After clicking the swap arrow, click the planet you're swapping with. If you don't want to move the planets, you can pass the turn by clicking the sun.
Once you have 3 or more planets aligned, click the camera button on your phone. Please ignore the news on your meTEOR feed to not become sadder.
If you lose all your followers, you can choose to give up the challenge. If you give up, the game will crash. Totally a feature, not a bug.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The game is made in Game Maker Studio. This prototype was developed from scratch during LD30 and is our first game.

We intend to make Galacto's Intolerant into a full game. If you like the prototype, you can follow @androdars for development updates and more nude pictures of Galacto.
KNOWN ISSUES
1) The final score is displayed partially incorrectly. Remaining followers shouldn't equal remaining population.
2) The puzzle is currently super easy to solve with three planets. If you just click the sun about 30 times, you will get three planets aligned. We discussed raising the minimum required amount to four planets but decided to keep it at three since the game is just a proof of concept anyway. If you'd like a challenge, try getting five or six planets aligned. And send us a screenshot @androdars for a bucket of space cred.
