Pretty good game, but a little confusing at the start

At the start I didn't realise how all the mechanics worked

A pretty decent idle game

Pretty good for what it is, no shop that demands your real life cash for overpriced in game premium currency - which scores massively in my books.

So far, I’m at Psionic and I’ve noticed that some details are a little off, such as energy boosts don’t display updated info in the stats screen to reflect their boost (but they do work).

Drone Tempest (500x auto deploy) doesn’t work at all.

So good.

one of the best games ive ever played. crazy underrated

Similar to a F2P Egg Inc

This is basically the core concept of Egg Inc except you keep expanding the auto-producing buildings with growth. I wish there was more details. For instance you won’t know exactly how many auto produces drones your planets are generating per minute. You’ll purchase a ton of upgrades so doing the calculation on your own end isn’t desirable.

This is like Egg Inc except you don’t get explanations for upgrades, you just hope you know what they do based off the name of the upgrade.

The game offers lots of the advanced currency for free. You don’t need advertisement viewing. Certainly you could, but really only the largest random reward of the currency bucks would be worth your time. Doubling the free amount from 120 —> 240.

Simple, great.

As-is the game is great. As another reviewer said, it’s inspired by egg, inc (another great game).

A few things I’d love to see: an inexpensive no-ads IAP. I refuse to (actually can’t because firewall) watch the ads but want to support the game/developer. Some QOL love around research & other menus. I’ll be looking at research, click an asteroid (which closes the window), open up the menu and have to immediately scroll way down to find where I was. It’d be great to either remember where I was, give me options to hide fully researched techs (or both!). Finally native iPad UI/screen support.

Seriously though, fantastic job, developer(s)!
