I was lead by this game by searching "Gravity simulator" And I played some 2d ones. Then I searched people playing some on youtube and it said reccommended for you: Universe sandbox Trailer. I watched it. (Its U.Sand one trailer, not two.) And so I went to the site and took the trial of one. Then I went and fouynd about 2 on your page and its a lot better. The end.

I'm really glad youtubers are playing this game and increasing its popularity. With all these new people purchasing the game, I believe Dan has to hurry up and implement galaxies and new features for the new players soon, or else they'll just get bored or tired and won't even care much about future updates.

Thanks for the reply (and sorry for late follow-up).

Staff: Would it be acceptable to relate to us a ballpark number in relation to copies sold monthly?

I think it says that because there's no price yet listed on Steam... it's not free.
