One of the best, if not the best, free game I've ever played! OK OK, it's not perfect. But for what it is, a low budget student game, probably with a very very very small dev team, it's kind of incredible. If it was a paid game, I would have some genuine complaints, mostly related to QOL. It's also very demanding on your GPU, I get about the same performance in this game as I do in ARK Survival Ascended. This game doesn't seem like it should be that demanding! That said, I really do enjoy it, and recommend it! It has kind of a Planet Crafter / Astroneer feel to it, with the crafting of say something like ARK. And for the price, you can't go wrong! I really hope the dev keeps going, polishes up the little things here and there. After that, there's no reason this couldn't be a $20 game, easy. I've paid far more for far less impressive games!
Its a student project or something but its not bad at all I have seen worse . If the dev ever reads this, add basic options like volume.

This game is really fun but the fishing mini game is pretty much ruining the experience for me. Please at least give us an option to slow it down.

Hard to believe this is "just" a student made game! I hope that more comes out for it, as it really was a pleasure to play. Getting to explore and upgrade things was a lot of fun for me.
Very cute game. Relaxing music, cute small characters. Suitable for kids? because there is no violence. But there are no any tips and hints, so that's not easy to understand what to do. Dear developers, hopefully you'll implement kinda manual for newbies.
Very fun! Space themed explore and craft. Looking forward to future game updates if the developer decides to continue.
I enjoy the game concept from 2 games into one. A few issues Movements, field of view and item drop ratio needs work. Great job! I hope you got a good score for you final!
