GREAT GAME

Nice game keep up the good work!

Great game

Great game add this stuff: 1. Mercury and Venus here are technologies: heat resistant gear (mercury and Venus) hot cold resistant gear (mercury) acid rain protection (Venus) 2. Ceres here are technologies for ceres: rotators (for gravity)

Last 2 updates broke the game

No longer gather gems to be able space warp and offline no longer allows you to earn any income. The game was fun because it was possible to advance, but now it’s next to impossible to advance, won’t let me gain enough to unlock the pilots of the last to planets in sector 3 or upgrade the income of any of my other planets

TO SLOW

I give it one star because you have it throttled down to much. If I can’t get one research done in any one of the four sections in a days time it is way to slow for my blood. I will put on my back page and check back in once a week.

Good fun for most of the game

I’ve had a lot of fun with this game, playing around with the build order each time I go through the wormhole. Getting a start-up fund from the goal/tier system was a great addition that complements the wormhole mechanic extremely well. I also appreciate the additional technologies that were added to the initial system.

Note: the rest of this review deals with bits of the game that I think could be improved, and how that might look. Please don’t let its comparative wordiness discourage you from trying this excellent game!

One quality I have found frustrating is the way the game seems to stall out once the costs of further upgrades begin to exceed ~$10AD. I encountered this phenomenon my past three times through the wormhole, each time about halfway through exploring System 3. Essentially, the increasing costs of upgrades too far outpace the corresponding income boosts by this point: I find I have to wait multiple days saving up money between each individual purchase.

Beyond tweaking the costs and benefits of late-game upgrades, I have a few suggestions that I think would improve gameplay overall:

-Make the improvements from the Space Gems & Wormhole mechanic combine multiplicatively over successive trips. If I get a 5% increase my first trip through the wormhole, it would be much more intuitive to have another 5% increase be represented as +5% of my current situation. As it stands, however, it would be indicated by a +10.25% increase from initial conditions, and I would have to compare multiple figures to determine the fractional boost I would *actually* get.

-Tapping the Earth for money is only relevant in the very beginning of the game, leading to enforced passivity once the player’s income and/or expenditure hits the $1AA level. Including upgrades to tapping income in every system (perhaps one for every tier of research upgrades for the system’s planets) would address the feeling of profound futility that emerges while tapping for $100B when one’s income is a trillion times that much each second.

-Relatedly, it would be nice if upgrades in the initial system continued to be available (at appropriately scaled costs, with similarly scaled benefits) throughout the game.

This might be a viable way to decrease the price bump between available upgrades: the player would be able to go back and make marginal improvements to earlier systems to gear up for exploring the next planet in the latest system.

Like other players I have noticed that the long-promised additional systems have yet to appear. However, I think that type of expansion is not urgently needed.

Instead, being able to play through all the currently available solar systems without having to take week-long breaks to accumulate the funds for individual research upgrades should be a higher priority.

I’d rather always be having fun while exploring the existing systems than have new but effectively-inaccessible systems to explore ‘eventually.’ So I hope the app-makers can devote time to polishing these gameplay elements without feeling any particular urgency to develop additional solar systems.

Ads

There’s still ads after the purchase to remove ads.

No endgame depth

The game has stagnated for me for a while now, but I’d at least been able to make some progress until this last update. Now I can’t go into the wormhole at all—it costs 86 billion just to restart once, and I’m nowhere close to that. But again, that would be to just increase income ONCE.

Great game played over a year but having problems with gems

I’m currently really far in the game but my space gems are not gathering anymore staying at zero don’t know if I broke it but currently making AE coins and both coins and speed is at 200000 % but can’t get any further idk what’s happening but I’m having trouble upgrading it more so I can get the other AE coin upgrades idk if it’s a bug and u should add x100 on the gem spending to make it faster to upgrade it gets annoying holding down the upgrade button for long times but even tho I can’t do it anymore

Update was hit or miss

Tap and hold to spend gems was a good idea, but it’s not necessary now that the cost in gems to upgrade skyrocketed. Not really a point in having the wormhole now.

Great

It is a great game. Love playing when I want and being able to get so menu upgrades. I would love it even more if there was a multi buy button for the wormhole like you have for the planets. I have 509 million to spend and it takes like 30 minutes just tapping both with two fingers to get it all done.

Need a faster way to spend space gems

I already read that you intend to change the pricing of the wormhole to streamline purchasing but may I also suggest a push and hold feature so I’m not tapping so darn much.

Nice game

I really like playing and I finally got enough money to automate libertas and every time I click the button my game crashes.

Good game

It’s a good game not impossible to level up which is nice. Can you please add an ability to speed up the wormhole process I have 165M points and leveling it up takes for ever, an individual click for 10% takes forever.

Updated version crashes

Fun game, but trying to launch a ship from Libertas or purchase auto pilot on Libertas totally crashes the game. :(

Horrible

I downloaded this game a couple of months ago I was able to play for all of 10 mins and it never worked for me again I was hoping they would update the game and fix the crash at the start up menu but they never did I recommend you skip over this game 🤦‍♂️

New sectors?

The game has been fun and all, but just wondering when the new sectors are coming out. Seems like it’s been saying “coming soon” for ages now. I’ve been getting kind of bored with just 2 that are on there right now that sometimes I go days without opening the game.

Wild

Never had a game that played itself before. I think it’s wild

Idle

Good game

Mandatory ads are bad.

The initial release had a lot of potential but the latest update added mandatory interstitial ads triggered by normal gameplay actions. I don’t mind opt-in ads you can choose to view for bonuses, but mandatory ads are a mandatory one star review.

Good game annoying setting

The game itself is good. It’s just dam annoying that you can turn off vibrate but when you reload the game it’s back on again. It doesn’t stop game play though. Would re-rate a 5 once it’s fixed.

Response from developer

We've fixed this issue in our latest update. Thanks for your feedback and thanks for sticking by us :)
