### 5/5 — Enceladus Retirement Bug

*2025-11-26, version 1.6*

I have gotten 9 months several times and it won’t show me as first still as 10th for my 12 months finish. I’m first in most other categories. Good game, wish it had more to do!

### 4/5 — Nice Game. Wish it had more

*2025-10-08, version 1.6*

Ever since the PalmPilot game Space Trader I’ve been searching for the next-best equivalent. So I stumbled onto this one. It’s a really great go at it and was a pleasure playing. It boats extra features such as financials and investments which is a cool feature but is missing the other aspects which made Space Trader so incredible: missions, more destinations, and ship and crew upgrades that included military engagements. This version is a lot of fun but it’s relatively simple with not much variation or excitement. It’s predictable, albeit fun. Totally enjoyable but I just wish they developed it more. They focused on the trading aspect which was about 30% of the game, and they did that really well (though it’s severely limited to only our solar system and about ten destination). Overall lot of fun. Looking forward to the next installment that could include piracy and broader destinations.

### 5/5 — Great space trader game

*2025-03-08, version 1.6*

I love this rendition of the game. It has the classic feel and mechanics I remember from similar games in the early 90s. It’s fun, soothing, and addictive enough that I play 5-10 rounds in a row very few months.

### 5/5 — Hello the game is super fun I am a fan of space and

*2024-11-07*

I love pixel art so this game is my style 😍

### 5/5 — Great Arbitrage

*2024-04-05, version 1.6*

Buy low, sell high, no frills, all game. Love this stuff dude, great work. I wish there was more. I’d pay $5.00 for a sequel with no IAP like this one. Well done again.

### 5/5 — Great Game (But room for improvement)

*2023-10-27, version 1.6*

Coming back after having seen the leaderboards it wont update my networth i have 11,000,000,000,000,000,000 net worth in my most recent run but it says 64,000,000 on leaderboard

### 4/5 — Great Game (But room for improvement)

*2023-10-19*

Its a fun game all together probably spent about 5-8 hours on this game very fun but i wish there was more of a challenge I find the ships to be too inexpensive and easy to acquire also I wish there was a game mode that you can only unlock after youve unlocked all ships that requires a little more brain power to succeed in.

### 3/5 — Striped down Gazillionaire Deluxe

*2023-10-04*

A basic version of the lavamind classic. If you liked that you’ll find this a decent version

Original is far better tho

### 5/5 — User suggestions

*2023-06-14, version 1.6*

First time playing, love it. Investment concept is cool. However, I think that features such as human transportation and planetary operations would fit very nice in the game and make it more interesting. Crew spaceships could be added, and space stations, generating some passive income. Also it would be very nice if players had an opportunity to assemble own spaceships from parts.
Thank you!

### 4/5 — From the  1 player

*2023-05-16*

Limitless fortune is an apt description. The game lacks any form of sever consequences, with the most you can lose being 10k from pirates. Collecting the ships and early game are a blast, but the game could definitely improve. Overall, I would recommend the game to anyone who likes laid-back strategy.
