Прикольний тайм-кіллер. Можна клацати на фоні. Красива піксельна графіка, наукова фантастика.

A chill game, its somewhat short but its lovely honestly, I got sucked in and I decided to 100% it, although i will say towards the end o the game it was getting very laggy but it was still enjoyable, enjoy this hidden gem :D
Good
For the first few hours I was very confused about why this game has such mixed reviews as I was having a lot of fun and really enjoying myself, but the longer I played the more the flaws become less endearing rough edges and start actively working against the game, and I can see how they would get completely off putting for some people. I'm giving it a thumb ups as I have enjoyed my time playing it, and I don't personally think any of the issues mentioned below affected me enough that it would put me off recommending the game. It's a game that's clearly had a lot of thought put into making a variety of mechanics and world building, and while it's the most complex version of an incremental I've played recently I enjoyed playing something that required me to be a bit more actively thinking about how I was managing things. But there are definitely flaws. It doesn't seem to be well optimised as it had my gaming laptop fan going like it was running a AAA game, the prestige system isn't well balanced for where it drops you back to so gets a bit frustrating having to work back up to a stable solar system each time, and there are so many different ideas and mechanics in the game that by the end it was starting to feel like a chore having to run around trying to figure out how to chain boosters to speed up what I was trying to gather at that point.
un bel passatempo. un po' lento nella progressione ma comunque godibile.
Fun incremental gameplay. Lots of things aren't explained to you perfectly along but the way, but i still had a great time. Ran nearly perfectly on the steam deck.
