Indie game 'Dyson' is now 'Eufloria,' still looks neat photo

If you haven't yet played Dyson, then you can play the free, original version here. I'm told it's very good, though I can't speak personally because -- despite how simple it looks -- I couldn't figure out what the hell to do after twenty minutes of clumsily dragging the mouse across the screen like an idiot. Other, smarter, more RTS-inclined people seem to really like it, though.

But that's all background. To differentiate the soon-to-be-released, presumably enhanced commercial version from the free original, developers Rudolf Kremer and Alex May held a name-changin' contests. The results are in, and the-game-formerly-known-as-Dyson shall heretofore be referred to as Eufloria.

I'm horrendous at picking titles for stuff to begin with, so I wouldn't presume to praise or complain about the name change. It does make me think of Doctor Horrible, though.

Anthony how old are you I remember a hawp episode that said you were 20something regardless I a 15 year old boy someone who sucks at rts games figured out how to play and successfully beat Dyson and knowing this I will now go through the day more smug than I planed on being.

Really? Dyson seemed like a casual relaxation game to me.

So I should assume that the game doesn't include the collection of Pizza Rolls for power-ups?

Yeah, I know. It's supposed to be tremendously simple or something, but I tried to play it twice over the course of a few months and I still have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.

Time to download it, again, and try and fail to figure it out, again.

Since I really like Dyson I look forward to seeing what changes and what added content is in this version of the game.

Sorry to do this, but I am just very confused about it. In another article on here you said that the second season oh HAWP was going to start that Thursday, but no new episode ever came. When are new episodes going to start? Again, sorry.
