Cool but needs work
Alluvius
Fun and addictive game. I just wish they’d patch it so we can plot courses beyond a single jump and so that your cargo would remember what you paid for it.
Awesome game, just one thing missing.

All it needs is a soundtrack. Then it's definitely 5 star worthy.
Lots of fun

Needs a few more instructions. But it is easy to restart if you screw up at first and run out of money, which I did. Missions give the most money. Well fighting may give more but I prefer trade or missions. Upgrade your fuel tanks asap to get to more planets and be able to do more missions. I am finding it addicting.
Tons of fun!

Nice trading, mining, and fighting game. Relaxing to play. I'd like to see more upgrades and maybe a bigger selection of ships to buy. Currently there is only one ship. A banking system would add to the game. Possible five stars after next revision.
Almost there

The game is a great flashback to Space Pirates. I'd love more worlds, descriptions of the worlds, and more of a story line. Plus, free travel between worlds instead of paths would be awesome. Otherwise, totally entertaining. Love the new mining controls.
Simple and Fun and now add supported

The micro payments have been removed. The game is simple and fun. It reminds me of Traveler and Firefly. Roam the verse, get jobs (missions) and try to keep the crew happy. Or do Traveler and buy and sell cargo.
Why isn't this more popular?

This game is fun, and easy if you give it like ten minutes! I don't know if it was a glitch, buuuuuuut I wasn't treated to a tutorial, or even a "LET ME TELL YOU EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS" sorta thing, and it actually felt better than a tutorial. With the minimal "this does that, that does this" with certain screens, as well as a locked stat screen (which helps a lot) and crew and missions to keep you interested. I've barely scratched the surface on this, and I love it to bits.
