Neat game with solid framework and lots of potential – Stellar Horizon Review

*Updated review below* I'm having quite a bit of fun playing this. It's a solid space exploration/sandbox game. It has solid yet basic exploration, combat and trading gameplay. I am looking forward to seeing where this can go. I am surprisingly impressed with the implementation of the planetary landing and exploration. The gameplay is basic but surprisingly engaging. My only major criticisms are the difficulty of selecting stars (the star map doesn't help) and a lack of content, but the latter is understandable given the life of this project. Thanks! Update: Ive jumped back into this game since I first reviewed this game a year ago, and the author has added a bunch of features. Planets now have flaura/fauna and explorable bunkers. Ships feature power management now. There are some graphical tweaks as well. This game is still fun and I forward to even more features to expand exploration, trading and fights! I really wish more games in the app store had the feeling of exploration that this one does. My dream features would be: -Smooth/real-time exploration of planet surfaces -Selectable planets in navigation map -More things to interact with in space (minable asteroids, discoverable things in solar systems, etc)
