Too many resources required to advance play fill too few storage slots and block all equipment building. Additionally some quests when apparently completed seem to go dead without advancement or reward or indication of where you might have gone wrong. ### 2/5 — Cannot Access *2023-02-19, version 1.8.1* After moving some devices, I got an out of game error. cannot access . After deleting the game and reinstalling it still doesn't work ### 2/5 — Bug *2023-02-14, version 1.8.1* Can’t find the square thing that fixes the right engine. Couldn’t pick it up at first. Took out somethings from my inventory and went back for it and it wasn’t there anymore. Looked for hours. ### 2/5 — Lost all progress w/update *2022-12-27, version 1.6.3* Lost all progress with the most recent update. I had to create a new character as my old one had apparently been erased. Otherwise it has the typical mobile survival elements like last days on earth and similar games. Items break, you can build things on your ship, etc. The Graphics are beautiful. Combat is clunky. Nice sci-fi atmosphere. ### 2/5 — Yeesh. *2022-12-14, version 1.6.1* You can’t just have your character drop dead over and over with no idea why. A little help or warning or nudge in the right direction would be nice. ### 3/5 — It’s alright, but *2022-11-20, version 1.5.1* The crafting machines are broken and won’t craft the items despite the storage and all of the materials being available in the connected containers ### 2/5 — Had to Start Over with Last Update *2022-11-17, version 1.5.1* I think I'm going to move on. Kind of enjoying the premise until I had to start over with the last update. ### 3/5 — Could be *2022-11-12, version 1.5* This game has potential. Sadly there is nothing to help you through each step. I like working at a problem but do not know if I am on the right trail. I have place my grinder near my storage box about every way you can ( except the right way). I die and respawn die and respawn. It would be nice to go to your shop or some place and get the hint. Or a start over. ### 2/5 — Number of bugs *2022-09-29, version 1.3.1* I enjoy this type of survival type game where you can build up things however ran into a number of bugs. 1. During the first level I somehow got stuck on the other side of a railing and the only way to get by it was to die from dehydration 2. On the planet I made the mistake of using the materials I found to try and fix the engine but not enough. It was to the point where I now don’t have enough materials to create the grinder which I am sure is needed to finish repairing the engine. I was hoping that resources or materials would respawn but to no avail and I have stripped everything from around the ship. So basically stuck. 3. When looking at items in my inventory I noticed I have to hold down the icon for a description but it doesn’t always work and many times the description appears under my finger. 4. I am not seeing any quick access item slots in my inventory from the screen for say using a medkit. Rather have to go into my backpack 5. The gun you start with has about the range of a melee weapon and thus annoying to use. Actually hate ranged weapons in this genre of games as they are always awkward to aim especially when the enemies are offscreen. Either way spent a couple of hours playing and now stuck since I can no longer gain new resources to build the grinder. And not even seeing a way to start over. I may try again if these bugs get fixed but right now would not be worth starting over as I may run into other ones that will break the game. **Developer response:** Thanks for the message. Thanks to such reviews, our game is getting better and better! We will try to fix the flaws in the coming versions. ### 3/5 — Furnace *2022-08-06, version 1.2.0* Unable to use the furnace or maybe I’m doing something wrong. There is no option to add the components. Have tried with ore in bag and also in storage. ### 1/5 — Now what!! *2022-07-17, version 1.1.0* I have landed, did all tasks. Now it says repair right ship. How do you start the FURNACE. I HAVE PLENTY of iron ### 2/5 — Unfinished Game? *2022-06-27, version 1.0.3* I can’t find Hanagava, some areas are locked, ran around for an hour trying to open anything the hand icon will work on then died of thirst.. cool. ### 1/5 — Flaws *2022-05-11, version 0.927* This game have potential but have too many flaws in it, so far I have only found three guns and cannot find any more, the only weapon I can find is knife and I can’t even use it, I am having to fight the enemies with fists and I get killed and respawned way too many times, there are powerful enemies there that I need guns to actually kill them without getting killed myself but no more guns and no way to find more or make any guns, I been gathering many materials and putting them in engine over and over again and I do not know how many more materials needed to put in, also why did my character start at level 34? Shouldn’t my character start at level 1 before leveling up to 2, 3, all the way up before becoming level 34? This game does not make any sense and need more work, I am gonna have to give this game 1 star for now until you fix this game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update needed *2023-11-15* The game wouldnt even load soon as u open it and says cannot connect please try again my wifi and data didnt fix the cannot connect error ### 1/5 — Confirmed: Other reviews also Says”can’t connect” on first start” *2023-09-01* Needs update maybe. But other reviews says game has been dead for years and can’t connect? I got app just to test if true- yeah can’t connect confirmed dead game? ### 1/5 — Cant Connect *2023-06-02* I was able to play the game earlier but after a few days of not playing i can no longer connect as it says i dont have internet even though i do so i dont know whats going on ### 1/5 — Pretty but frustrating *2022-12-21, version 1.6.2* Can’t make a container, so I can’t grind stone, so I can’t leave starting tutorial, not without paying for resources you cannot find in the tutorial. ### 1/5 — No direction or description *2022-11-14, version 1.5* Im loosing backpack space and no idea why. Was already a pain now its just not fun anymore. Would be different if i atleast knew why. ### 1/5 — bugged like crazy *2022-11-11, version 1.5* Died of dehydration after wandering for hours because it wouldn't turn on the button to build the grinder, even though I gathered everything available. Then when all the parts are in the engine and the "fix" button lit up, all it did was close the engine window... Looks like it would be fun if it actually worked. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2022-07-28, version 1.1.1* Stuck on Ceres, trying to get to Ice Geysers, but cannot go anywhere on the Global Map. ### 1/5 — Still broken *2022-07-24, version 1.1.1* Even after the update my ship still can’t travel ### 1/5 — what is goin on *2022-07-21, version 1.1.0* this game seems awesome but i can’t figure out how to work the induction machine….it just ask to craft or abort ### 1/5 — Made it to ceres cannot go elsewhere *2022-07-19, version 1.1.0* Made it to ceres, but after accepting the task, I am level five, and all of the destinations around me are level 10 or more. I cannot use the slow option, and there is no place to buy fuel. Further, there are no wiki pages to help with the problem, no community page on your website so players can help each other. This further reduces the viability of the game, and certainly precludes me from thinking about investing money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unable to connect *2022-11-06, version 1.4.1* Great game, I am having some trouble. I can’t play because it says it can’t connect to the internet. I am connected and all my other apps work. Please fix. ### 5/5 — Alin *2022-04-22, version 0.927* thanks to the developers for the game. We often play together with friends. we create characters. We get a lot of emotions from the game Ceres. ### 5/5 — I poured my heart and soul into a review but it didn’t send *2022-02-23, version 0.911* Imagine i said something about the game being impressive for a mobile game and that it has more content then the vast majority of mobile games. Note to devs: Probably add the ability to watch an advertisement for a weapon or health kit. It would help funding. Also focus on improving combat and or add a tutorial. Perhaps when you start out your first objective is to “Calibrate Systems” where you learn about some game mechanics. Or even have a 3rd person narrator give you tips and advice. ### 4/5 — Good RPG Survival *2023-03-11* Good game but has some bugs that need fixing. The most frequent bug is when you travel to a location and log out, you will be dead when you log back in. This makes you respawn back in Ceres, wasting the time/energy you spent traveling to your previous destination. Please fix! ### 4/5 — Now what? *2022-04-01, version 0.917* Ok so I LOVE this game. However, after my ship took off, I waited for 3ish days. And still nothing. Is that it? Is that the end of CeresSpace? I dearly hope not 😔 Please get back to me with any info regarding my problem. ### 3/5 — Why *2023-12-08* Downloaded the game. “Cannot connect”. Tried redownloading. Still “cannot connect”. Tried it again and third, fourth and fifth time. Still “cannot connect”. Internets fine. I dunno why a game that I want to play and never touched before is struggling so much. I know I’m writing a review for help but I dunno what to do, so I did the next best thing. ### 3/5 — Too many flaws. *2023-02-17, version 1.8.1* This is probably the third attempt at revisiting this game because I do love this type of game and play style. However there’s still a heavy lack of any sort of manual or how to for most of the things you encounter. Secondly- why in the world would you make every thing so easy to break. Even the durability on some of the equipment is so low you lose it after one mission. Equipment (Gear not weaponry) shouldn’t even have a durability unless there is a way to repair them(…?). Positively- The game is very well designed which is probably why I keep checking on it. The ship and the equipment you create are very well designed. Even the availability of the auto function through the droid is a massive plus. ### 3/5 — Game upgrade lost all progress—and in game purchase coins. *2023-01-02, version 1.7.0* I’m hoping their Support team will have a solution for my losing everything. Starting over isn’t very appealing. … It took a few days—and no one got back to me—but the last saved game was restored with my game coin purchase balance. Thanks! I didn’t want to start from the beginning and I was enjoying the game! **Developer response:** Thank you for waiting for the game update. Thank you for your comment. We have seen your message and have been working on fixing the problem. In the future, please write to us in the support form in the game. Have a good game. ### 3/5 — Would probably be awesome. *2022-12-27, version 1.6.3* I just downloaded this game on my IPad and I had high hopes after seeing that it had been updated two days before. I get into the game, everything looks nice. It starts loading... IT CRASHES. Every time I try to load the game it crashes, sending me back to the home screen! I would love to download again if issue is fixed! **Developer response:** Hi. Thanks for your feedback. Our support team has not received any comments from you. Also in the latest version, we did not see a single crash of the game version. Please write to the support service about your problem through the support form in the game. ### 3/5 — Game has potential *2022-12-14, version 1.6.1* My issue is there is no info on how to play. I can’t figure out how to increase inventory slots, container slots, how to make or get water. I’m constantly dying cause of lack of water.
