Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 22 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
I played the game when it was in early access and now that it was fully released I gave it another try. Overall I would say I recommend it, it is a nice game to play for a bit. The story is nothing ground breaking but it is a nice read and the characters are enjoyable. The gameplay is a bit more "old school" as there is less handholding when it comes to triggering some events so it can be a bit confusing how to proceed at some points, though there are hints available if one desires. [spoiler] I have to admit that I was unable to get the device in the Fun Zone running (Though I did get the right sequence). There is either some hint I missed or you have to brute force the button/lever combinations. [/spoiler]
If you enjoyed Gazillionaire you'll enjoy this. Heavy on the dialog but it adds its own charm. If your looking for something to scratch that space trading itch this game will do it.

I have replayed the game multiple times and have seen it evolve over the years. It's a really fun story with a fun business tycoon mixed in. 10/10 will recommend
I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would, the writing reminds me of story-based flash games I used to play on Newgrounds (in a good way) I'd love to see more of this kind of game from the developer
Cute feelgood story with hilarious characters and decent gameplay. UI a bit rough around the edges.
delightful throwback to classic space trading and management games, offering a nostalgic yet fresh experience for fans of the genre. The game combines retro-inspired pixel art with engaging gameplay mechanics, allowing you to build your empire through trade, negotiation, and strategic decisions. The humor and charm woven into the narrative and character interactions add a unique flavor, making the experience both entertaining and memorable. While the gameplay is straightforward, it’s packed with enough variety and depth to keep you invested.
I came into this game having played a previous title from the dev and once again I loved the characters. Some of which have returned. It's not a long game and I managed to complete it in just over 9 hours. My only gripe about the last game and of this one is that they are far to short. The characters are wonderful and the plot line is pretty nice. Its a very simplistic game but it really does need more fleshing out and things to do. I would get this game if only for the smiles you get from the characters and the fun way they are written. If the game is on sale for under 5 quid then go for it. I would def get the game and support the dev. I look forward to any other titles that might be coming from them in the future.
Buena mezcla de novela visual y juego de gestión. Tanto la historia como la gestión de recursos son relativamente simples aunque eso no lo hace disfrutable durante las 10 horas aproximadas de la historia principal. Además, si te gusta buscar secretos y desbloquear escenas secretas ocultas, el juego ofrece mucho contenido después de la historia principal.
It was a good game, I would recommend it.
nice game in early access
