Space Expand is a 2D retro minimalist attempt at some kind of space themed RTS that's been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. It's very badly made, to the point the game is incomprehensibly non-function. Clicking on the "?" causes the screen to flash (may trigger epilepsy, so be warned) and doesn't actually give you any help. The basic RTS functions of selecting ships and moving them also doesn't work, so this is functionally broken. GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and unsurprisingly results in products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. Using a video game construction kit requires little to no talent or skill as a game developer. Very often, GameMaker Studio is used to make shovelware and lazy cash grabs. Like most GameMaker Studio construction kit "games", this features lazy 2D retro pixel/minimalist "art", instead of professionally done, contemporary PC graphics. Controls and resolution are locked, which pushes this below acceptable standards for PC. While this is free, that's kind of noble, this isn't free in the kind of way your friends buying you a beer is free, more like the way garbage out on the street is free.

It really seems like it could be fun, but there are sadly many issues with this. Those being: 1. UI is terrible. It tells you nothing and is the same color as some objects, making it seem like another object. 2. There is no guidance. Some would argue there is a tutorial, but for me and many others, the tutorial bugs out, making it unreadable. 3. The game doesn't have a clear way to conquer planets. If you've found out how, congrats, many others can't accomplish that. Those are just some of the issues with this game, but they are the major ones. 2/10, has great potential and idea, just not done correctly. I will most likely come back to this game in a couple months, to see if anything has changed. So this review will likely change. Thanks for reading, and have a jolly day!
Je recommande le jeu en quelque minute j'ai réussi a prendre le prendre en main
Le jeu est très brouillon. J'aimerais bien y jouer correctement malheureusement l'interface n'a rien d'intuitif et je ne peux même pas lire les aides car elles font clignoter mon écran et je ne veux pas risquer une crise d'épilepsie. A suivre, mais je ne peux pas le recommander dans son état actuel injouable.

[h1] Un jeu simple au graphismes minimalistes mais au concept et à la jouabilité très confortable. [/h1] On avance doucement, se prend une patate monumentale de l'adversaire, mais se relève et combat. Notre planète a plusieurs facultés, l'économie, la flotte, la science et technologie et la défense. Vous devrez jongler entre les compétence pour mener à bien votre rôle de commandant. [spoiler] Et c'est gratuit ! [/spoiler]
tbh i have no idea what to do and how to conquer stuff edit from future me: the tutorial is buggy, it flickers in and out of existance making it unreadable, its very hard to understand whats going on without the help of said tutorial, and its kind aboring
Takes a bit to figure out and needs polishing for sure but its a really good concept and i find myself enjoying it for the potential it has. keep at it and you'll do great edit from 2 hours: game is still fun, see if you can do something about the game crashing when you spawn in an absurd amount of your fleet. no rush, keep doing you thing!
