@Steve_Perry Android phone and tablet (and iPhone) are looking to be early November right now. Phone and tablet games will be a bit different due to the smaller screen sizes of phones.

We'll be posting updates on our Facebook page as things progress: https://www.facebook.com/SolarFluxHD

I'm intrigued used by the gameplay concept. I'm getting Osmos meets Asteroids ?

@bdaggers I'd say that's a fair comparison, to some degree, as there is more to it than that. There's different types of plasma to collect, to use on different sun types and keep them alive. There are also varying obstacles to avoid such as mines, lazers and meteors; static and moving. On top of that, you have to watch your fuel, time and shields to make sure you don't explode, and gain a highscore.

Each level has its own win conditions for awarding stars, the better you do, the more stars you get. Each galaxy has bonus levels to unlock when you gain a certain amount of stars in that galaxy, so you do keep playing to try and get the level's completed as 3star - and gain achievements.

Another area where the game has been complimented, but isn't obvious from the trailer, is the Music within the game. It's very 'spacey' and relaxed, giving a great feel for the open expanse of the universe you're trying to save. If you do get the game, I strongly recommend playing with headphones on!

@paulmaxwell

Just picked this up today as it's now available on android and I gotta say it's a beautiful looking game with some really great ambient background music. Very calming and it's needed because it has a fairly hardcore inertia model

frustrating but only thanks to my lack of skill than any poor controls thankfully.

Great job guys, I'm loving it even though it's driving me bonkers
