So at face value, this game appears to be quite simple. And in fact, it is. But that said, it is absolutely worth the price. In my first play through, I spent 2 hours scouring the heavens for any sign of a habitable world. Unfortunately, I was unable to save humanity. But I feel that my 2 hours were well spent, and I'll gladly play again the next time I get the itch. Even the somewhat-clunky UI elements can be forgiven, because at the end of it all, it's still a fun game for science nerds like myself. Now, I do have a couple of gripes. First is in regards to the transit view minimum zoom level. Some of these systems are very large, and because of that, even at the minimum zoom level the outer planets orbit so wide that they completely leave your field of view, leaving you entirely unsure of where they are or when they might return. Scaling this minimum zoom back to that it is certain that all planets would remain in the bounds of the screen would be a great help. Second is time compression. When scanning systems to capture planet transits, many of them have very large orbits with long orbital periods. Which means if you miss these transits, you have an extremely long wait until that planet might pass by the star again. It would be lovely if there were some way to speed up time beyond what the current controls allow. That brings me to gripe number 3. The game FEELS like a mad rush. There's not enough time to get a sufficient number of planets scanned and analyzed before the inevitable doom to planet Earth occurs. If there were some way to allow time compression in the planet transit tool, and also extend the total amount of time before the "big event", then I'd give this a glowing review. Maybe 2 years instead of just one before the game ends? And finally, we need to be able to save and reload the game. It's unrealistic to expect people to be able to play a game, every time, for 2.2 hours straight (that's about how long the game takes before you "die"). All in all, if you are a space nerd, love science, or have dreamed of extra-solar habitable worlds, just get it. You'll be glad you did. UPDATE: I saved Humanity!

ENG: The sun is being eaten by a black hole, we have to look for another planet and for that we manage this space telescope, we scan the sky in search of stars, and using different real methods, such as transit or spectroscopy (simplified of course) we get the data which we can analyze, in search of habitable planets, it is very good, although of course, for people who have a little interest or knowledge of astronomy. The price is cheap, I definitely recommend it. ESP: Al sol se lo esta comiendo un agujero negro, tenemos que buscar otro planeta y para eso administramos el telescopio espacial este, escaneamos el cielo en busca de estrellas, y usando distintos métodos reales, como el de transito o la espectroscopia (simplificados claro) vamos obteniendo los datos los cuales podemos analizar, en búsqueda de planeta habitables, esta muy bueno, aunque claro, para gente que tenga un poquito de intereses o conocimiento de astronomía. El precio es barato, definitivamente lo recomiendo.

меня заинтересовала игра, так как слишком много внутри планет и затягивает сама суть в том что ты двигаешься и узнаешь планеты. Рекомендую для расслабона чисто

Fun game, could use more work to fully realise its potential. For instance you dont even need to analyse the spectroscopy scan to know if a planet is habitable, you just send the data to astronomers when you see lots of lines in both spectrums. Would be fun if you had to do the analysis yourself of all the data, but then you wouldnt have enough time. I also find myself constantly switching between star systems to get the timing right to analyse certain planets with long orbits to also be able to analyse enough star systems in the limited time given. It needs a save function. Also some small planets can't be analysed apparantly. Would recommend

I'm indifferent about this game, it has a massive learning curve and is a fun monotonous game but it takes far too long to learn how to play. Seriously, reading the Manuel and doing the tutorial for how to operate and use the equipment was about half my playtime and I got a 100% habitable planet within my first play-through. I know I can't ask much because this game is on the cheaper side but I feel like there could be more complexity to it that could make it more worth learning the mechanics of.
