GREAT WAY TO KILL TIME

Nom Nom Galaxy is a game that seems more complex than it actually is. It presents you with a range of structures to build and defend bases, many recipes to discover, and a vast map to explore... but none of that really matters. Enemies show up and don't do much, there isn't much to see on each map and you rarely need to change up your recipes. Every level can be completed by staying close to where you started. If you're generous and let yourself get carried away by the mechanics and exploration, you might end up spending a few dozen hours on it... but there's no real reason to. Don't make the same mistake I did.

крутая очень

Nom Nom Galaxy has a ton of charm, and on paper this should be exactly my kind of game. I like the premise, I like the style, and I like the weird little world it’s going for. The problem is that actually playing it just isn’t very fun. The construction, automation, and general flow of the game are explained poorly enough that I spent most of my time feeling like I was fighting the game instead of learning it. Rather than settling into a satisfying loop, I was constantly confused, second-guessing what I was supposed to be doing, and working against systems that never felt intuitive. That’s the real disappointment here. This feels like a game built out of ingredients I should love, but in practice I never felt like I was playing with it. I felt like I was playing against it the whole time.

I am pretty bummed to say that this game is just completely unreliable. It seems the developers have given up on updating the game or addressing any bugs, small or serious. Frankly, the game is often unplayable (if you're even lucky enough to get it to launch properly). It's a fun game overall but you can't play it!
