Ever wanted to populate an asteroid with seeds, grow trees, then use the buds from them to destroy all your foes? Of course you have. So, this game, also know as "Dyson" lets you do just that. It's an RTS..and... I'm explaining this horribly. To be honest, the only way you can actually enjoy it, is if you play it yourselves.. just, trust me on this.

I remember playing this game ages ago. I like how the trees get roots.

I think I saw this game once before, but I didn't download it.
I'm downloading it now.

Edit: I just completed the first two levels, and it's very fun and unique. Too bad it doesn't have multiplayer.

I downloaded the installer and it says it needs to install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. Alright, I select a file path, but after I hit install, the cmd window pops up, blinks for a few seconds, then disappears. The installation wizard window displays Back, Install, and Cancel, but hitting install again just makes the cmd window flash again then promptly disappears ad infinitum. I wanna play this game... ._.

Weird, I got the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 needed to be installed message, so I installed it, no problem, it was almost automatic. Maybe leave the the file path as default?

But that said, Dyson is a beautiful game. I'd be playing it now if it wasn't for the potentially deadly procrastination and loss of time.

- Am I just horrible at the game? I can't seem to find the right technique for level 2. Hehe
