Well rounded, free to play idle game
Sun Jun 19 2022 haikuouzI absolutely adore this game. The pace is perfect, you can jump ahead a bit if able.. it has all the features I want in an idle game. As of now, I do have one suggestion: upon watching an ad to gain idle time, the extra idle time should be used last. For example, you have 2 hours base idle time. If you gain 2 more hours, you have 4 hours of idle time. If you leave the game for 30 minutes, it should be only removed from the base idle time, and should regenerate to be used again. This way, you can stack your idle time (the way I know we all are) and you won't be running out as fast if you still have time to check on the game. Otherwise, I don't have anything else to say about it, and that's about the only thing I can nitpick so far! As far as I can tell, this game was released less than a year ago. I'm not sure how long it was in the works previous to it's release, but I do know this is more than I expected from an idle game that's been out less than a year. Definitely recommend.
Lot of untapped potential
Tue May 10 2022 8488885902957772For starters, I really love the art style; I think the devs absolutely hit it out of the park with the apps aesthetic. As far as gameplay, it’s a decent enough idle game. The progression is not bad and there’s a fair bit of craft-able items in the game so you’re constantly unlocking new things to make. However, what really breaks the game is that the reward system is completely broken at the moment. One of the main aspects of idle games is being able to watch ads for small amounts of resources that you can spend to level up. And while this game did have that system, after an hour of playing the ad button disappeared and now it’s going on four days without it ever reappearing, which means that I’ve lost out on four days worth of resources I could have used to level up my refiner and constructors, so now they are severely under leveled. Idle games are all about exponential growth and going just four days without rewards to level up the refiner and constructor has made the game basically unplayable. You do have the option of paying for the resources of course, but $5 for one level up worth of resources is a laughably bad deal.
Over all it’s a decent game, with a lovely art style. If they fixed the reward system, it would sit at a 4 or 5, but the current game state and bugs make the game basically unplayable. I’d skip out on it and maybe check back after a few updates.
Suggestions… and… problems!
Sun Sep 17 2023 KLbrothers56I honestly really like your game and from the other reviews it seems that your game is very fun but it also has its problems…. I don’t usually write reviews for games but I just have this crawling urge to. So, here’s what I suggest you add. First off, is the trading feature, I honestly think you should add a trading feature so players can obtain mythicals through other people instead of having to PAY. This feature can also be used for new players with lots of extra junk or common astronauts that they want to trade for better stuff. Now moving on from trading, here’s the problems, your game takes SUPER long to progress through but it isn’t a problem if your all about grinding. Also, In the later stages of the game if you don’t spend massive amounts of money on relics or other legendary unobtainable mythic astronauts then your going to have to spend a LONG time grinding. Now, this review is not a critical one I just want you guys to add the trading feature and maybe make mythic astronauts obtainable or being able to win in the mythic crate (add it please) or the temporary astronaut sale In the shop menu. I hope you read this review or comment on my review or at least add this in one of the later updates. Thanks, Testa
Unfinished
Wed Jun 08 2022 Kaladin_StormblessedThis game was really fun when I first started, but the problem is there isn’t a good long term progression system. Every time you “prestige” you don’t really gain much (mostly just double the money for creating items), and the rate at which missions get harder is faster than your prestige power can keep up. For example, it takes about 60 “missions” to get to the next prestige. But at level 296 it has taken me several weeks (and all my resources) to complete a. single. mission. That is ridiculous. There’s no sense of progression anymore, only waiting around to level up my transport speed to a super high and expensive level that makes no sense at all.
Also there’s a store so you can spend real money, but do they honestly think people want to spend $100 packs on a game that has no long term goals, or even player to player competition? There aren’t even events or anything to mix things up and make it more exciting. You can collect astronaut cards too, but only about 4 of them are worth anything, the others are next to useless.
I think this game has a lot of potential if they fix these major problems, but right now it just feels unfinished. I’m going to check back in a few updates to see if anything has changed, otherwise I’m moving on.
Needs Work
Fri Jun 10 2022 Vash080I want to start out by saying that I love the game, the graphics are amazing, and with some work and tackling the recurring issues the player base are pointing out, this game has the potential to be a great idle game if the developers solve the major issues as a start. Some of those issues for example is the Mining Speed, Transport Speed, and Load Capacity ratio, depending on the resource deposit the ratio difference is pretty unbalanced.
Another is the amount of time it takes to refine and make the components you need to make progress, the issue here is that as idle game, you only get two hours away from the game unless you watch ads or spend in game currency which is not easy to come by to extend that time. And i also agree with the other low star reviews that other players have voiced out.
But the main reason for the 2 star review for me is the fact that there isn’t a way to save or back up your progression, the main reason I have a major problem with this is because other players that have reach the max level (around 300+ as of today) have lost all their progress after going so far in the game with no way to correct it, making these people leave the game forever. Until this is corrected I don’t t see myself changing the review.
Question?
Sat May 17 2025 DrThunderMonkeyLet me start by saying I love this game, the graphics are so cool and the noises are even better so satisfying, I recommend downloading this game!!!
I have a question about the captains pack, I bought the captains pack 1 when it was on discount and that gave me 4x on all mines for mining transport speed and storage. Which is great and gonna make progress much faster. Would recommend the purchase to help out the Devs if you like the game. But now I see in the shop there is a captains pack 2 which is a 6x on all mines for mining speed, transport speed and storage. I guess my question is if it’s worth it? And how does it work and does it stack with my other captains pack? Meaning If I buy it will I be at 6x on every mine related or is it additive meaning I’ll be at 10x on everything mining related or is it multiplicative meaning I’ll be at 24x everything mining related?
Fun, but bad progression systems
Sat Jun 04 2022 Large CroissantThe game itself isn’t bad overall, but there are a few main issues that i have with it. Firstly, the levels of the mining nodes are not balanced. depending on the node, you either have to have a high mining speed level just to keep up with the low level transport speed and load capacity, or you need an insanely high transport speed and load capacity level (like 20-30) just to keep up with like a level 6 mining. This could be fixed in theory with astronauts, but you only have a max of 10 astronauts, but the issue with the mining nodes is with almost every node.
Now more on those astronauts, and more specifically how you get them and upgrade them. To get them you need to open stupid loot boxes just for a chance at getting a card of the astronaut. Then, to upgrade them, you need enough loot box cards, and enough loot box science points to upgrade them. Progression based on loot boxes like this is never good.
The last thing I’ll touch on is the fact that it’s an idle game, but you can only idle for a maximum of 2 hours at a time, unless you watch 3 ads, which brings the time temporarily up to 8 hours. This in itself is bad enough, but half the time you don’t even get credit for watching an ad, so you have to watch an additional one just to increase your idle time IN AN IDLE GAME.
The gameplay itself is pretty fun, trying to maximize your efficiency, but the systems in the game actively work against you doing that.
Pleasantly Surprised
Tue Sep 20 2022 BCarr91I saw this game on a Facebook ad, and saw comment after comment about how many ads there were in the game. I downloaded the game anyways, and it sat idle (pun intended) on my phone for about a week before I finally opened it. Boy was I surprised - the ads are very minimal, and the frequency one would expect for a free to play game. I’ve played other idle games, and they have dozens more ads than this game - I’ve only currently been served an ad if I opt for the free daily rewards, otherwise, not really anything in the way. Glad I downloaded it, and glad to see the limit on the ads. Looking forward to more games from this developer. Oh, and the graphics are darn good, and the progression is slower, so you actually have the time to learn the game and it’s mechanics, it doesn’t feel rushed at all. 💯
Devs, Please Read
Thu Mar 10 2022 fjejchdThis game isn’t a bad game at all it takes sometime to get to the last craft able it just isn’t worth it any more because I takes a day to complete and the max idle time is only 2 hours. There should be some kind of way to increase the max idea time for free and not that temporary increase because that doesn’t work and it’s still only temporary also when you Move to a new planet or prestige the quest for ranking up increase and it’s all not that bad till you get to the 16th rank there’s this one quest that requires you to own a certain amount of levels in transport speed right now I’m on rank 56 and I’m stuck on this on right now because I need transport speed lv 150 and the lowest level mine is at lv 145 and it cost 200q and that’s only gonna get worse every prestige because that best craft able only sells for 230q on prestige 2 and still takes 24 hours to craft one of
Its a good take on the genre, would love to see some improvements
Mon Jul 11 2022 Its_review_O_clockI dont usually play idle games, but the aesthetic of this one really stuck out to me. this feels like a mix between cookie clicker and factorio. And its fun, but I think a few key improvements would make it much better.
1) when selecting what to refine/construct show how much of each ingedient the player has. Im tured of swapping between ores/ refined/ construct menus to decide what i should be constructing.
2) Tell the user the time until already mined ores in a deposit are going to be empty, or if you are mining faster than transporting - the amount of excess ore being mined. I dont feel like getting out a calculator to decide if I should be upgrading mining speed or transport. also, I see no reason for transport speed and load capacity to be seaparate upgrades.
3) make panning and zooming smoother. you should be able to zoom out
