Five stars — original, relaxing, and surprisingly deep
I’m giving BALDEOUJ five stars because it’s such a cool, quirky, original universe. It has this great explorer-trader feel where you move around trying to make money through quests, trading, pirating, bounty hunting, and figuring out how everything connects.
The format is simple and easy to play, but there’s a surprising amount of depth underneath it. No matter how strong you get or how much gear you collect, there always seems to be another plan forming. You’ll find yourself thinking, “I’m already in this sector, so I could finish that quest, pick up those trade goods, save fuel, unlock that area, or come back later with better weapons.” You’re constantly weighing up fuel, cargo space, passports/visas for different sectors, risk, reward, and timing.
One of my favourite things is discovering strange random items early on and not really knowing what they do until later. Then suddenly you realise: oh, I can open that safe now, or if I combine these things, or if I get those little drone weapons, I can go back and defeat that pirate. Those little moments of discovery make the game feel much deeper than it first appears.
The universe itself is also excellent — futuristic biology mixed with technology, robots, droids, AI, strange oceanic life, and lots of odd encounters between locations. It has a real PC-style exploration game feel, but it works beautifully on iPhone and is easy and relaxing to play.
There are a couple of small improvements I’d make, but overall this game is a breath of fresh air. It feels genuinely original, not like the endless mobile games that push ads, upgrades, timers, and pay-to-progress systems. BALDEOUJ feels like a proper little adventure game with its own personality, and I’m really glad I found it.

Only one problem
Hacking, I would love the investigation mission if I just knew how hacking worked. Is it really just pressing random buttons or is it like minesweeper?
A lot of rules and mechanics
I love this developer but after an hour playing this game I still felt completely lost.
There are many resources to manage (fuel, money, inventory, passports, drone). I spent lots of time investigating and idk if it was worthwhile for anything. The world is very large. Managing currencies and passports was annoying. The bones of a good game are in here but I would like to see it concentrated down into something easier to digest, or have certain mechanics introduced gradually.

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback.
Do not trust the other reviewer.
He's got a total skill issue and cannot grasp the basic concepts of a roguelite. Try this game, the developer is great and you can always suggest improvements. :]

So boring I fell asleep
So incredibly boring I fell asleep. And not in a good way. I’d rather watch paint dry.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry that you didn't like my game. Can you please explain in more details what's wrong with it?
Пойдет
Нет повтора обучения и если случайно нажал и пропустил не узнаешь что делать
Также нет сброса прогресса

Amazing game!
This game is incredible. I would really like to see this make its way to the PC (on Steam).
Response from developer
Thanks for the good review. Yes, I plan to release it on Steam later this year.
Слишком дорого
Иван, я вас очень уважаю как разработчика, очень интересные игры вы делаете, но в последнее время вы стали слишком много за ваши игры. Сейчас купил 2 ваших последних игры, буду тестировать, но пожалуйста, сделайте их подешевле
Greatest developer of all time
I have never seen a more dedicated and honest developer ever. You make banger games and you keep them free of micro transactions and ads, I hope you make it real big
Response from developer
Thank you for the good words :)
Unklares Spielprinzip
Das Tutorial hilft nicht viel, es ist nicht klar was man eigentlich machen soll. Hab es nach wenigen Minuten wieder gelöscht, schade um das Geld.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. The idea of the game is that you have to travel around the world, engage with random encounters, fight battles and collect loot. Basically, just like any other roguelite or classic rpg. Basic principles of gameplay are quite simple, that's why tutorial is not very handholding. If you want you can email me (yiotro93@gmail.com) with more specific questions and I'll do my best to help you :)
