You're the latest chump hired to fly through the galaxy connecting up the very first inter-galactic internet! Soon every planet will be connected in glorious 56kbps.
Use the mouse to control your ship and SPACE when requested.
Each planet you pass has a connecting ring, designed to hold the (invisible) cable you're towing. Like a bleeding fast, space travelling needle, thread your cable through the connecting ring to make the connection.
Don't miss too many though, and your robot overloads tend to frown upon that. They're so smart that they can frown upon each one of your atoms and they rapidly separate from your body in a distressingly short period of time.
Obviously don't crash into the planets either; you're here to connect them to the internet, not kill billions in an extinction-level crash. Your company doesn't have insurance for that.

Ha! This is great, I had a blast. The art style fits perfectly and the dialogue made me lol
Really like it! Graphics are cool and the 3d effect very nice. Congrats!
This game is hilarious! I started purposely missing the targets just so I could hear the robot's sarcastic dialogue. Graphics and audio really add to it, too.
Great music, quite funny, graphics work, occasionally frustrating but solid as whole.
I've never wanted to smack a robot so hard...
Good fun, interesting choice of colour, and I love the idea of massive hoops being built on planets, to then fly a spaceship at near lightspeed through them while threading an ethernet cable...
Haha, glad to see someone else took the theme down this road. I was pretty terrible at this game, but I still enjoyed playing it. It would've been nice if there was some way to control my speed a little better.
Cool. I liked it. Funny background story. Frantic gameplay. The cable should have been visible, though.
Simple fun gameplay, great graphics, fitting music and hilarious dialogue. Overall very solid entry, great job! But god I'm terrible at this game :]
This is really good! Impressive little game. The minimalistic graphics look awesome, lots of neat little details like the rotating planets and the vhs effect on the robot screen in the corner.
Hi there. Nice flight control, really funny comments from Robot Overlords. Very enjoyable. Particularly liked the balancing of the approach-the-hoop physics, well done on that! Good job!
Although a bit hard at first, the controls feel very nice, especially when you manage to combo a couple of planets! Also, this is great visually, and very funny in the dialogues.
That is an pretty interesting way of navigating space, I'm so used to top down flat space control that I was quite surprised to crash on the first planet!
The difficulty of control offers challenge, but the experience is a bit repetitive though. (different planets, or patterns in their appearance would make it more captivating!)
Nice atmosphere (graphs, dialogues etc..), well done
Nice game. Gets a bit repetitive, but the music was cool and the robot's dialog was funny.
Great dialogue and mood. The music choice was spot on too. I was terrible at the actual gameplay but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless. A very funny, entertaining entry!
Really nice game ! I liked the mood, the story and this funny robot :)
Really enjoyed this game. Looked forward to the new comments from the robot.
Good job :)
Quite liked the mechanic and "3D effect" of planets coming up and flying through the rings, didn't expect that. Nice work!

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
This was a pretty nice work. Original gameplay too and also nice-looking graphics and controls.
