I liked the tone of the tutorial, it was very nice from a world building point of view, but it was pretty bad at explaining a very simple concept.
It would fit a longer game nicely though.
I would show the species information automatically, because the user have to click it every time, if He/She is not a fan of gambling with planets... :D
Also I would have probably guessed what's the goal then without the tutorial.
The visuals are pretty.
I was a bit annoyed by the fact, that the game launched in windowed mode, and I could not see the bottom of the windows, cause it was on my other monitor... xd
