Caution, this app is not a game. This is nothing more than a entertainment app.
Move on and save your time and money ...

What is this supposed to be? Even the "tutorial" leaves you alone, wondering what to do. Total manure, avoid!
Quick entertainment

1.035 trillion people, over 300 solar systems, 12 million units and 16 million science. It gets easier, promise. The tutorial needs more detail to understand this game more easily. The game starts off slowly, but quickly builds to a point where you're earning more than you could ever spend. You start with 1 solar system. Double tap your system and it will bring you into a close view of your sun and planets. The bottom panel shows what your system is producing out of the maximum output; 1.2/15 food for example. Each system has a mineral, metal, industry, science and food maximum output. If you touch the bottom panel it will give you an over all output of everything you own. You need minerals to make metal, metal for industry, and industry to make units. Units are your currency to buy other solar systems. Science is used for upgrading your tech tree. It builds very slowly at first, but will get faster. If you are inside your solar system, touch the top panel. If you are looking at the outside of your solar system, it's the dish on the left side. Go into exploration and buy solar sails. This will start expanding your explorable universe and eventually you will find another system to buy. I recommend, after solar sails, go to efficiency and buy into food. Food, of course, feeds your people. I've done 3 systems so far and all have had starving people at first. Don't worry about it, don't think any harm comes of it. Each solar system is listed as mining, manufacturing, industry, science or agriculture. Buy an agricultural one first to try and get your food output out of the red. In the tech tree under efficiency, buy into building when you can. Your solar systems will grow much faster. Good luck.
Absolutely brilliant!

I really love this game and play it a lot. However the tutorial doesn't tell you that much. It also could use an auto save feature because the game does crash occasionally.
Could be so much better

This was so promising, but it fell short. The sandbox is not fun, the main game doesn't explain itself, and you don't get to much. Just watch the pretty art move.
