A good entry into the emerging ambient gaming genre. Relaxing, strategic, but too much "fly herding".

Relaxing, pretty. It's a good entry into the ambient gaming genre. If you liked Osmosis, then you'll like this. Interesting that levels are generated dynamically. This means that if you replay a level it won't be the same - it will be similar in many respects and seems to test the same themes that the level is there to test, but the dice are definitely re-rolled for many of the starting criteria and layout. These re-played levels can indeed end up harder or easier depending on the dice roll. When you plan and execute a strategy and it all goes according to plan, it is gratifying. Would have appreciated some better controls later in the campaign when the constant and repetitive "fly round-ups" - directing your "troops" from birth planets to battle zones - seem to be 90% of what you do. Starts to feel like you are a four-star general that all of the sudden has a crappy desk job. Still fun. One thing that absolutely blows - I have not been able to beat the final level because the game crashes on me when I get deep into that level.
