### 3/5 — Sooo many ads - glitchy ads!

*2026-01-24, version 1.0.0*

Ads in the middle of the screen, some glitch and don’t leave forcing me to restart, ads when you go to every second planet, ads, some glitch forcing you to restart, both of which you lose your progress of where you are. And it happens before you can colonise a planet in that solar system. Be cool to actually be able to land on the planet, too. Love the game, and if I had to pay so, $2.99 for no ads, I’d happily do it, even $5, because the ads are the only thing glitchy and forcing me to close the app and lose where I’m up to is a major downer for me.

### 4/5 — Slay baddie slay

*2025-10-10, version 1.0.0*

Good I guess

### 3/5 — If the Devs see this, please listen to me and don’t ignore me.

*2025-10-04, version 1.0.0*

I like the game, but can you please make it so that ads only appear when you enter a black hole? There are too many ads. PLEASE limit them. Do not ignore me, this WILL make your game more popular. Trust me. I like this game but there are too many ads. DO NOT MAKE THIS GAME PAY TO PLAY.

### 3/5 — This is awesome, but…

*2025-07-12, version 1.0.0*

I really enjoy being able to “explore the universe” in this app, AND even take screenshots of what you com across. But, the signals… I get so many, from the same person, but from multiple different galaxies??? And I get bombarded by messages just over the course of just a minute or so. This NEEDS to change. There needs to be a spam filter for the signals. I get so many signals containing literal nonsense like “Hihihi7” or “Hihihiji” or some outlandish variation of that… Please fix this!

### 1/5 — ORAS NG KATOTOHANAN 2014

*2025-02-18, version 1.0.0*

Mount: APO ARAYAT TALA LAHAR. PS.~

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2024-07-20, version 1.0.0*

I downloaded the app. I chose a galaxy which is Cigar Galaxy and putting my planet name. Well, when i put it in and pressed start exploring. It keeps saying Internet connection error but my internet was on and it keeps on saying it whenever i tried to press start exploring. I restarted my router and it still doesn’t work. This may have to do something with the app. Please fix this so i can go explore the universe.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-06-09*

This game has a lot of potential, I highly recommend this game. I hope there will be future updates.

### 5/5 — Can you please add landing on planets?

*2023-07-15, version 1.0.0*

Like I want to learn on my home world, and other planets

### 4/5 — Peculiar, relaxing, and so much potential

*2023-06-13, version 1.0.0*

There's definitely an original game to be developed from this foundation. The possibilities are really endless. The social communication aspect is fun and sort of invites a little role playing. Without any competition, this project should ideally evolve into a sort of no man's sky game with deeper exploration and discovery. I see how you could also pull in some mechanics from idle games. I love the opportunity to write notes/story in your planet discoveries. 

Hopefully the devs will expand this aggressively before the player base evaporates. I'm keeping this one on my phone just to watch for updates.

### 4/5 — Awesome Game! And Some Ideas.

*2023-06-04, version 1.0.0*

I have been searching for a game like this for a long time now and this is the one! It is an amazing game but there are two things I think should be added. 

One is where you can land and walk on a planet, You could also see other players/aliens on the planet, and you could see your colony on the planet. Like structures and more. 

The other thing I think could be added is where you could change your starship the way you like it, kinda like your own very avatar in the game. 

But again these are just some ideas that I think could make the game even better. Besides those the game is very detailed too. The background is really beautiful and so are the planets. So in conclusion, it is a really good game!
