This game looks a hippie acid trip, but under the simple looking design is a RTS with more depth than meets the eye. Colonise asteroids with seedlings, grow pretty trees with exploding laser flowers and conquer all, while listening to the zen ambient music.

Pros:
+ Pretty, minimalist art style
+ Lovely soundtrack
+ Play your own pace in relaxed mode or hectic RTS style
+ Challenging, especially once Skirmishes and Dark Matter mode are unlocked after the campaign is complete

Cons:
- HD update replaced the original UI with a tablet friendly one that quite frankly works worse for a mouse+keys player
- HD in the game title is quite misleading, nothing has been done with the visuals. The title change was made because this version is a unified version of the game, identical across all release platforms.

Nice to read this, it caught my eye in the store queue! Shame about the turn to a tablet-focused UI.
