Good start

Fun game, would be nice to track score and maybe have more options for crew than default five. Otherwise, a fun enjoyable space exploration/survival game
Random issues

I don't like how the planets appear to be too random, it makes winning the game seem to be something that's impossible, depending on how the map is generated, no matter how you work your shifts.
Good idea with serious balance problems
Chris Farrell
Shifts is a great concept for a game, and they did a nice job with the graphics, but the actual game-balance is terrible. Hull crises kick you into a death spiral since you can't fix the damage and solve the crisis at the same time. The huge galaxy makes finding 3 habitable planets a matter of sheer luck and the game is virtually impossible to win. It would have been easy enough to have different difficulty levels which set the size of the galaxy, but no dice, there is only one difficulty level. Very frustrating, some outside playtesting might have made this a fun game, but as it is now the high difficulty and ease of getting into pointless death spirals just makes the game dull.
A good strategy game

I think it is ALOT Better. One small change in this game has made it a five star game in my opinion. Earlier I rated a two star due to play balance issues but the programmers have listen to our pleas. The easier level of difficulty have taken some of the frustration out of this game actually had one of the better experiences I've had so far. The newer levels make quite a bit of difference Without the easiest level being too easy. I still felt that it was a close battle in the end. I can highly recommend this game at this point and appreciate the extra work the designers have put into this.
Whoopee

--> update <-- Thanks for listening! Said great game before, now Excellent!! ———— Great game, having a blast. Help system is nice, in-game manual would have been nicer. I'm not really a space guy but this is a clever, fun little game! and I see great promise for added content!! Developers - maybe consider adding difficulty levels. I would think it would be pretty simple. Just have 2K ARKS for EASY, 1K for NORMAL, and maybe 700 for HARD. I like to play games on EASY until I know what I'm doing and it keeps new gamers from getting frustrated. Please consider it....thanks!
Great game

Very fun game. Feels kinda like playing Pandemic, in the way you decide which problems need tackled first. It would be nice if there was a confirmation button for when you don't assign any of your available brobots; I tend to forget to use them.
Great strategy game!

Really well-done turn-based spaceship management, outer world exploration and colonization game. Mechanics are quite polished. I only wish for more animations, but this is a style choice which may distract from strategy.
