I'll give it a thumbs up, but it's a very very short game. The end game is a needless grind - though fortunately it's not that long. I got it on sale, and I think it's fine, though tbh the original price is way too high for this.
A cute little clicker of a game.
I quite liked this one. It's not too long and not too short. I do agree it could need an "auto miner" upgrade but then you would need to have something else for the player to do. I would rather enjoy a few more plantes before the endgame. My biggest wish though, would be that you can drag the planet you mine around just like you can drag around your colony. I love that mechanic, and even a way to have both open at the same time. Also - never found the main menu XD wasn't that important though - just for closing out the game once I beat it. ! I still give it a thumbs up very gladly. Fair price, enough to do to keep me engaged to calm my mind while watching youtube. (sometimes my mind goes a million miles and I can't peacefully watch passive media, so clicker games are perfect to calm me in that regard)
Completed the demo and its very interesting game, so when the full release was out I had to snap it up, and I was not disappointed. A great game to have on your desktop while you work.
A nice, simple and visually interesting space exploration game. Very peaceful, easy to learn, and has some incremental depth with quantum tunnelling.
Super fun little game, really enjoyed it the whole way through. Charming and entertaining!
cool game
Неплохой кликер с приятной музыкой и незатейливой механикой, вечерок скоротать. Мне понравилось, но палец устал.
I agree it needs some way to unlock automated mining as that gets tiresome several hours in.
More of a clicker than an idler, but I didn't mind it either way. Simple but effective, worth it on the sale price for sure. The only gripe I have is that as someone with photosensitivity, the pure-white screen can get exhausting on the eyes. And the game could use a few more achievements (entire upgrade tree bought, 10/25/50 of each building/processor). Overall, solid little game though!
