Fun game, but you might want to fiddle with the balance a bit. Lava/uranium, and the last minerals and crystals are a pain to get even after collecting and upgrading as much as possible without them. Some resources (viscera, pearls, chitin) are just a pain to get in the required quantities and are annoying bottlenecks, because the player is forced to scan planet after planet to exterminate the bugs nothing else. And neither the spike bugs nor millipedes even show up on radar, talk about a middle finger to the player! You should make spike bugs sensitive to dynamite, even if only from underneath, so at least the ones in air planets are collectible. Finally the last optics upgrade does nothing (ozone clouds don't show either on screen nor on minimap) and even if it did, by the time got optics 8 they have learned to camp an ozone cloud when they happen to stumble upon one. Making an upgrade that facilitates collection of a given resource depend on that resource is silly, really.

We will definitely tweak the trophy numbers. We didn't really have any problems when testing, but planets being random can lead to situations where they are in short supply. We'll also look into Optics 8. Update from okaybmd: We have tweaked the trophies a lot since this comment (you can get more viscera, citin, pearls form higher depths, doubled the number of oysters, can use dynamite on the spiked creatures, etc), plus they are now easier to find because you can spot them on the minimap (you also get 5 free radar pulses given at some point after completing some objectives in the beginning)

Can we use the savegame from the preview in the full version too or do we have to restart?
Yes, you'll be able to use it in the full game ;)

so when will a full version be released?
)
The full version is already submitted to Kongregate, but it requires approval. Because that might take a few days, maybe even a week or two, we released this preview version to give you guys a taste.

Couple of tips that will most likely save you hours. (SPOILERS)
-Ozone is invisible and obtainable in aerial planets, you're screen will give it away once in an ozone area.
-Coral shards are harvested from blocks with no coral making bubbles (the description really through me off here and had me looking for a good couple hours).
-Teleport pads are OP and allow you to go any depth you like.
-Dynamite isn't an early game upgrade as the objectives list leads you to believe.
-Amber is found in wood.
-Solar cells are from chests.
The is more than enough information in the help in-game to easily complete the game with addition to the above info. The help is REALLY helpful, read everything.
