TAXINAUT

First thinkg I do is check the settings. Instead of tooltips I get links to their website which gets automatically blocked because it doesn't even support HTTPS connections. Now I don't think this is malicious, it's probably just a small cost safing meassure, but it is terrible UX if I open a help link and immediately get a security warning by my browser. I work in IT so I think I can judge the risks in such a situation, but less tech savy people might be spooked by this. The Developer since responded to a discussion thread I made. 1. The game contains an offline copy of the manual. 2. They plan to switch the host of their website this year (2026) and to probably fix this along with that. (I'll contiue to follow the game. If I learn this is fixed I plan to update this review). I also played the actual game some. It wasn't for me, so I refunded it, but it seems to acuratley match what it's described as so I wouldn't hold that negatively towards it.

So I picked this up last night because the premise looked very appealing. I was not disappointed. Its a very chill game where you take on the role as a planetary taxi driver with the ability of also traveling off planet and interstellar travel. You collect fairs and buy new ships and upgrade them. There are tons of planets and galaxies and tons of upgrades and items to use. There is also some very nice music that plays over the ships radio. There is a lot of dialog with passengers and over the radio. You also have to sleep and eat and pay rent but its not like a survival game that can be stressful, its very chill. It really takes me back to games like "Starflight" on Sega Genesis or PC and Star Control 1-2. Its an awesome retro inspired game and the developer intends to keep adding to it for many years to come if it sells decently. Its very playable now. Big thumbs up.

This game, even though I have 1.7 hours in it. I am hooked, it is unique and really beautiful to play and look at. The art work is really attractive and pleasant on the eyes. The concept is so simple and yet really engaging. I am attracted to quirky, unique games. So I checked the video and screenshots and reviews and I was most certainly going to buy it. I like quirky games and this game is this quirkyness I like.. Give it a go and have loads of fun

Excellent, awkward, weird, but fun space taxi game. It eases you into the game, but there's more to it than you'd expect. Beware taking jobs to uncivilized planets without the appropriate equipment.

Relaxing, charming, enjoyable open world (galaxy) space sim with decent sound and a unique twist on the genre. The quirky humor is a plus, too. If you like the standard fare (no pun intended) such as Space Rangers and also enjoyed older games such as Star Wars Galaxies, this may trigger some nostalgia. Great value. Highly recommended!

in my opinion, the basic gameplay loop is boring and not fun. you go from pickup to drop off. the game is dodging traffic to get there. now, there's not that much traffic, but there is (some). so the game is requiring 100% of your attention but actual 'dodging' is about 15% of that. that's bad, but what's worse, the map is just way too big. the going, the dodging, just takes way too long versus the reward. finally, should you have a moment of inattention and wreck, the penalty is often severe, sending you back home (another 2 minute trip) to repair. there may be some sort of auto pilot later but honestly, i can't be bothered to find out. i experienced 1 gameplay bug and 1 crash in my 3 hours of play. there is a ton of 'stuff' in the game, tiny details which should (theoretically) be fun, but you will still have to do all that boring flying and dodging to get there. i think the developer was way too close to his baby, and would have profited early on from a trusted friend who coulda said, 'dude, you don't need 6 billion solar systems, 10 oughta do it.' I AM A FAN OF GLACIAL PACING, BUT THIS WAS TOO BORING, EVEN FOR ME.

There is surprising depth and variety in this game. Clearly a labor of love. The taxi theme is very strong, right down to the salty debuffs you get for running into other cars and hurling road-rage insults. If this game had the graphics and flight-sim of Cloudpunk it would be the perfect space-taxi game. In the meantime, this is a better game, even with its basic indie graphics!
