It's SimCity on another planet, but it isn't as good a game.
There's a cute but annoying opening, poor documentation and some
very good animations that don't really enhance the game.  The
game has some major conceptual and UI flaws as well.  Still,
I've been willing to put a few hours into it now and then.
