### 5/5 — Ashman64

*2026-07-07*

It is the Goat only can add a ginormous ship like the Death Star. Also something like a hyperdrive would be cool. You can have like a special coins called Quantum Coins that help you upgrade to supersonic speed.
Maybe also a special move called like The Drill that allows you to slam into enemies.
Those are some cool ideas that you can put in otherwise great game. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Pls update

*2026-02-21*

It’s a really good game but there hasn’t been an update that added content in years. I would play the hell out of it if there was a battle ship class or even the ability make your own nation and go to war against others. It’s story is still very fun but once your done with it there isn’t much to do other then become a mercenary and buy more stations. It does have flaws yes but it is still a really fun game and I just wish that the developers made updates that added new content to make the game even better.

### 2/5 — Clunky

*2025-12-22*

Not particularly fun or intuitive

### 3/5 — Why can’t I type on mobile

*2025-12-11, version 1.6.5*

I can’t edit the game like I wish to on a mobile device it is frustrating and I want to know if I can get it fixed

### 5/5 — Pls update

*2025-11-29, version 1.6.5*

Developer pls update

### 3/5 — Tres bien

*2025-08-10*

Le jeu est très bien je l aime bien mais si il pouvait avoir un mode multijoueur sa serait parfait

### 1/5 — Not my cause

*2025-04-21, version 1.6*

BETEE luck else where

### 5/5 — Très beau

*2025-02-02*

Jeu très agréable et fluide, les graphismes sont beaux, avoir des missions sur les planètes serait un plus. Les paysages sont peut-être un peu répétitifs, les variés quand ont change de galaxie serait un plus. Bravo et merci, c’est quand même un plaisir de jouer.

### 2/5 — английский

*2025-01-18*

Не могу нормально создать игровую кампанию, тк меню создания на английском и я не могу понять как создать базы.
Неудели сложно было на русский и это перевести

### 2/5 — Minha opinião

*2024-12-08*

Não gostei muito do fato de ser pay for win, já que todas as outras naves espaciais precisam de dinheiro real.
Tirando isso, é um jogo completo com gráficos excelentes!
