Simple. Hard. Amusing. – Shifts: A survival strategy game in space Review

I can't beat this game!!! But I keep trying. There's a lot to like here if you like to think when you play. There are no enemies except your ship constantly threatening to fall apart and that seems to be more than enough of a challenge. The map changes every time, so don't try to memorize which solar systems have planets to colonize. Each play through FEELS short but if you do everything you can to survive in hopes of finding that elusive fourth planet (I always find three), you'll discover quite a bit of time has passed by. With a little bit more polish and maybe an "Easy" mode or puzzle/quest mode, this game would really rock. Still it's worth the two bucks for the half hour I just joyfully lost.
