看着比较有意思 不知道作者有没有更新中文的计划

Response from developer

Thank you for the 5-star review! I'm really glad it caught your interest. Chinese localization is definitely something I'd like to support in the future. As a solo developer, I have to prioritize features and improvements first, but it's on my wishlist. Thanks again for your support, and I hope you enjoy the journey!

Good idle game

Pretty neat incremental game that’s quick and easy to play but still has enough content to last a bit.

Response from developer

Thank you! I’m really glad to hear that. Striking the balance between being easy to pick up while still having enough depth has been one of my main goals. And for players who make it all the way through, I’m already working on what comes next.

Good but needs improvement

It is good but the voice over gets stuck and jumps around if you can fix that it will be grate.

Response from developer

Thank you! I’m really glad you’re enjoying the game. I’m sorry you’re still running into a VoiceOver issue. Accessibility is something I’m constantly improving, and I’d really like to fix the one you’re seeing. If you could let me know which screen it happens on, or what you’re doing just before VoiceOver gets stuck or starts jumping around, that would help me track it down quickly. You can reach me through the Discord link in Settings or by email. Thanks again for taking the time to report it!

One of the best indie games ever!

I really enjoyed this game for the little amount of content it has. It has so many strategic options that can determine your outcome of the run and how you play. Also there are many features with story aspect as well. It twas very fun to play and often times I was trying out different strategies. Also I tried to speed run beating the planet monster the first time it came but ended up at a loss- but the strategizing and optimizing building and crafting was fun to come up with. Also I very much enjoy the slow increase of speed and reward it has when launching to a new planet. This by far is one of my favorite indie games.

Regardless to say, thank you for an amazing game! I can’t wait to see what you have in store next for the game!

Response from developer
