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.
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!

I was very much enjoying this game up until I had to do fishing. The fishing game controls are so awful that I was unsuccessful at catching any fish. I gave up after 10 minutes of failure. The reaction times required are way too fast for me. It's a shame because I was really getting into the game.
Игра крутая но есть один минус это её оптимизация,а так игра крутая её локации достаточно уютные(и да я наиграл всего 10 минут но играть с 20 fps тоже не прям круто).Разработчики можете пожалуйста добавить настройки графики умоляю. Изменено: и добавьте русский язык пожалуйста.
задумка прикольная, но отсутствие оптимизации убивает желание играть
El juego es entretenido, hay que decirlo porque es una realidad. Necesita mejorar muchas cosas, por ejemplo el aspecto de que no se pueda ajustar la resolución. Hay zonas del juego con una caída de fps demasiado brutal como para que no se pueda modificar ese aspecto. Por otro lado, el juego obviamente está en desarrollo, porque solo hay dos planetas, no puedes hacer todas las recetas que necesitas y en poco más de unas horas estás en el " final " del juego sin nada que poder hacer más que completar el acuario En la zona de mercado aparecen objetos para comprar, pero no tienes dinero ni forma de conseguirlo para poder hacerlo No hay enemigos como tal, salvo unas abejas molestas El laser está bastante mal hecho, su so es básicamente para eliminar las colmenas de abejas y picar unas rocas pequeñas y en el caso de lo primero, el sistema de apuntado y disparo necesita una mejora. En resumen, un juego visualmente muy bonito, con un gran potencial pero que le falta mucho por desarrollar. The game is entertaining, it must be said because it is a reality. It needs to improve a lot of things, for example the aspect of not being able to adjust the resolution. There are areas of the game with an FPS drop that is too brutal that this aspect cannot be modified. On the other hand, the game is obviously in development, because there are only two planets, you can't make all the recipes you need and in just over a few hours you're in the "endgame" with nothing to do but complete the aquarium In the market area, items appear to buy, but you have no money or way to get it to do so There are no enemies as such, except for some annoying bees The laser is quite poorly made, its so is basically to eliminate bee hives and chop some small rocks and in the case of the former, the aiming and shooting system needs an improvement. In short, a visually very beautiful game, with great potential but that has a lot to develop.
Weird little game. feels a little clunky. actions aren't very smooth. Esc button should close out of menus. Little robot follower lays on the ground a lot, I don't know if that's intentional or not. Also noticed what looked like him crying after I made my pickaxe, it was kinda sad. may play more at some point.
Its very cute.
