Thanks

Michael711!

I’ll play the heck out of it and then get bored come back a couple months later and do it again.

It’s easy to write this game off as being too dependent on random chance. But that's completely overlooking that the game gives you many tools to manage the risk of bad things happening, and upside of random good things, which is where the deep strategy and fun comes in. The tricks take patience to learn/discover, but it’s rewarding when you do, and you’ll consistently be pushing deep into the game if not beating it each time. Aside from the gameplay, I liked the illustrated style, and the atmospheric music was nice as ambiance, though not too memorable. There are a few neat ideas here too like learning the language as you progress. The game works well in the mobile format - you can stop and start playing quickly, though it has that “One more jump...” addictive property, so maybe it will still be hard! My only criticism is that a decent amount of time spent in the early/mid game (basically until you get a better ship) is centered on doing the same things - drilling/probing. I wish there was a little more variety to break that up. But ultimately I think the deep strategy and accessibility as a mobile game make this a game worth playing if you appreciate that.

Not as good as they say.

Nicely put together but the chances of getting far in this game are slim. Small ships, low fuel, constant repairs. I'd choose another. The monotony of maintenance...

Really want to like this game

This game has its moments but it’s just a little to cruel with the RNG. I’ve downloaded and deleted over 20 times. Each time I’ll play about 10 games or so and then delete in disgust. I play games to be entertained or challenged or for social activity. This game has proven time and again to be an exercise in frustration and futility. It’s gotten to the point we’re it’s all stick and no carrot and I regret having wasted my money and time on it. I would not recommend anyone spending their money or time on this game.

Update?

Any chance for a small update to skip the intro cutscene and optimize for new screen sizes?

The game is good. People are dumb.

The only reason I'm writing this, is quite literally because reviewers say dumb things like, "c'mon, I paid a whole dollar for this!" As if paying 99c gives you the right to act like a child. A pack of gum costs more than this piece of software that someone lovingly made, poured their passion into and continued to support it with updates both graphically and gameplay-wise. If you don't like something, that's your prerogative, but could we stop pretending that paying 99c for something is akin to losing your savings, or is a crime on humanity? C'mon people, we can do better than this. For the record it's worth it a full price. 99c sale is a steal. As far as the game goes, is takes a certain appetite to appreciate it, but if it's your thing,it is a really good example of a resource strategy game that has a unique perspective with a great melancholic ambience.

Fun game if you can handle a horrible framerate

Expect an interesting game at about 10 FPS

Why is the intro so long now?

Needs iOS X Update

BlackKnightLives

This game is awesome, but it NEEDS an iOS X update. Developer keeps looking for bigger and better things, but won’t focus on what made them famous in the first place. Respect your current IP’s. Love you guys, and I will update the stars once you update the app. Promise. :-)

Some bugs make this game unplayable

fermiquestions

I had a really enjoyable time playing this game despite its difficulty but I had to quit when, after a few hours of playing it, the game started lagging and bugged out. When I restarted the game the frame rate had dropped so much that the game was unplayable as it no longer ran smoothly. I restarted my phone, restarted the game, made a new game entirely... nothing. That quickly became extremely frustrating, so I couldn’t continue playing.
