  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and mind-numbing, particularly during the tutorial, which requires a lengthy 80-minute session of resource gathering. This experience highlights the game's grind-heavy nature early on, potentially deterring players from becoming too invested.

    • “It was one of the most mind-numbing and tedious things imaginable.”
    • “After teaching me the basics, the game should have just handed me some materials to go ahead and fill out the rest of the spaceship. But no, I had to sit there and slowly, tediously grind ores for 80 minutes in the tutorial.”
    • “But the tutorial at least made it evident immediately how mind-numbingly grindy the game was before I got too invested.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express uncertainty about the impact of optimization on performance, suggesting that features like extensive zooming capabilities, akin to those in "Cosmoteer," could enhance gameplay without significantly taxing system resources.

    • “I don't know how much it would impact the performance.”
    • “Two ideas that I have from other games would be the possibility of zooming out almost indefinitely if that requires little performance, similar to 'Cosmoteer,' where everything is very small but details can still be seen when you move the mouse over objects.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is highlighted for its engaging mechanics, including spaceship building, upgrading, mission completion, and resource mining, though some players note that a significant portion of their time is spent flying. Overall, the game offers a rich experience that justifies its price.

    • “The game is worth the price because it has a lot of great mechanics like building and upgrading your spaceship, doing missions, and mining for resources.”
    • “I spent over half of my gameplay time just flying.”
    • “The controls are clunky and make the gameplay frustrating.”
    • “The pacing is too slow, making it hard to stay engaged.”
  • graphics
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game show potential, but currently lack essential features such as adjustable settings, which can lead to issues like limited mouse movement within the game. Overall, while there are signs of a promising game loop, improvements are needed in the graphical interface.

    • “The graphics are outdated and lack the polish expected from a modern game.”
    • “I was disappointed by the low-resolution textures that detract from the overall experience.”
    • “The character models look stiff and lifeless, making it hard to get immersed in the game.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is still in development and experiences occasional bugs and silliness, but it receives regular updates from what appears to be a single developer, making it generally stable and worth trying for fans of the genre.

    • “This game is a work in progress; it is sometimes buggy and a little too silly. However, it receives updates at a reasonable rate for what I believe is a single developer project, so if you like a game like this, you should at least try it!”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it frustrating to play. Stability is a major issue that needs to be addressed.”
    • “I encountered numerous bugs that disrupted my gameplay experience. The lack of stability really detracts from the overall enjoyment.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the reviews highlight engaging gameplay mechanics such as spaceship building, mission completion, and resource mining, they do not provide specific insights into the story itself, suggesting that the narrative may not be the primary focus of the game.
