This game was a wonderful surprise. I love real time strategy games. The fact that this was an RTS was the main reason I bought it. Well that and the fact that it was 50% off on Steam. So I took a chance on an odd looking game and I've been in love ever since. When asked to describe it I usually start with Beautiful. Followed quickly with Relaxing, Easy to play but Hard to master, and finally Unique.
Beautiful - Relaxing - Easy to Play - Hard to Master - Unique

According to Steam I have played this game 37 hours. I'm never really sure how accurate those numbers are. Does that include time spent playing offline? Either way I have spent a good bit of time in this game. I have beat the game and I was halfway through the Dark Matter storyline when I reformatted... So now I'm running through from the beginning again just so I can beat the game. What does that tell you about this game?
Something else that is unique about this game is it only requires a mouse or a touch screen. I have been plugging my laptop into the tv and playing from the sofa. The downside to this is I keep falling asleep. The music is so soothing and relaxing. It goes perfectly with the beautiful art throughout the storyline.
According to the story, we are planting trees on asteroids. These trees produce little seedlings that can be used to fight other invading nations of seedlings. I like to think of the planets as Atoms and I'm fighting viruses inside a body.
