Great Game! Exciting improvements

Solid strategy game! My one complaint was micromanaging units. The developer listened and put in an auto build feature. I really enjoy the desperation mechanic because it makes you feel like you always have a chance to win, even if the AI is destroying you. The new upgrade system is very welcome, given how difficult the AI gets later on. If you like fast-paced strategy games this is definitely worth picking up!

Appreciate the review! The auto mechanics were added in due to community feedback, feel free to send any thoughts you have on issues or things you’d like to see to yearofthegamerdev@gmail.com or using the in-game feedback button!

Love the update!

Used to play this game all the time but ran out of things to do after a few hours. It’s been collecting dust for a few years, but I saw it say it was updating the other day and decided to take a look. They finally added units that actually allow you to implement different strategies. Hope they continue to add, and a lot more frequently in the future.

Response from developer

Heard you loud and clear! One of the largest updates in a while is being released this week! New playable factions all with new units. 0.175.12: As of this version there are also 20 new levels!

Very nice little conquest simulator

I had a lot of fun playing it, it’s pretty easy to get the hang of.

The best game ever like fr

I’ve been playing Space Pixel Swarm non-stop, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite quick strategy games. The mix of fast-paced gameplay and thoughtful strategy makes every battle fun. I love the strategic approaches I can take depending on how much I go all in with ships, pelting them with an onslaught of missiles, or just playing it safe and amassing shields on all of my planets.

The standard AI was pretty easy, but the other "types" of AI have actually been pretty smart and challenging. My one wish so far besides new content is I would love it if you could set the main game AI type in addition to selecting difficulties. Oh, and it even has a nice slingshot mechanic. They call it "desperation", but essentially, if you're getting demolished, the game starts giving you buffs giving you a chance to get out of no-win scenarios. Finally, the skirmish mode is perfect for quick battles with customizable settings. I think the devs need to focus on adding even more settings for their next update. I can't imagine it would take too long and it would further add to the variety.

Looking forward to seeing even more updates! Thanks, devs, for creating such an amazing game (and keeping the ads to a minimum). Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the kind words! I do plan on keeping the updates more regular in the future

Fun Space Game

This is a fun game!

Fun

I really like this game. The new units are awesome, they make the game more fun. Took me a minute to get to the point where I am now unbeatable. I like the closer planet battles cause it’s hard to know who would win! Splendid work developers!

Response from developer

*New enemy update has been released as of 08/30/2022 Thank you for the review! 0.17 is currently in development which will give the enemy access to three new units depending on how well you’re performing against them.

It’s fine

It’s pretty repetitive and not a lot of mobs , but it’s good.

Игра вполне хороша, подарила пару часов космических баталий с минимумом рекламы)

Nonstop Crashes

Could not play longer than 15-20 seconds, speeding up gameplay would cause a crash and so would almost any other mechanic

Response from developer

Sorry to hear this. The latest update should alleviate crashes related to memory limitations or networking (iPhone 8+). Hopefully this resolves your issue and you can finally enjoy the game. Thanks for flagging this!

It keeps crashing

Everytime I try to play the game I can’t get past the first level because the game itself keeps crashing

Response from developer

*As of the latest updates, these crashes should be largely lessened if not completely resolved Hello, I’m sorry to hear that. If you can email yearofthegamerdev@gmail.com with the actions that lead up to the crash and phone type, we’ll look into fixing the issue as soon as possible!

Minimalistischer Spielspaß

English below.

Wer auf ein minimalistisches Strategiespiel mit angenehm reduziertem Design steht, haut rein und hebt den einen Euro aus!

Angenehme Grafik, schlichte und schöne Hintergrundmusik.

Was (noch?) nicht passt, ist der Skirmish-Mode. Man kann bis über 20 Planeten auswählen, mehr als sechs wurden bei mir auf dem iPhone 12 aber noch nie erstellt. Ich möchte gerne mal mit über 20 Planeten spielen, damit die Runde länger dauert und es mir persönlich mit mehr Fläche mehr Spaß macht.



Who fancies a minimalistic strategy game with nicely reduced design: go on and toss that coin to the developer!

Whats not perfect: you can chose more than 20 planets in skirmish mode but ok my phone there are never more than 6 at start. I would love to have more than 20 to increase the time needed for a good round.

Absturz

Gutes Spiel, jedoch fliege ich immer aus der App

Response from developer

Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Sie immer wieder aus der App geworfen werden. Würde es Ihnen etwas ausmachen, eine E-Mail an yearofthegamerdev@gmail.com zu senden, wenn dies auftritt und was Sie direkt davor getan haben, damit wir es beheben können?

Great mini game!

This game is awesome, really fun when the swarms get overwhelming. Would love to see more than 9 levels in the campaign, maybe a bit more story etc etc. Also camera controls are a little clunky, but it doesn’t ruin the gaming experience.

Edit: would pay £1.99 - £2.99 for this game. Doesn’t seem fair to the developer to be free with no adds!

Amazing game

Great game but it needs more mobs

Levels

Its an incredible game, but it needs many more levels, dont let this game dieeeee<3

Response from developer

Thank you for leaving feedback! Rest assured the game is still in-development!

Durch gespielt nach 30 Min. Das ist zu kurz für eine App

😒n

Response from developer

Hallo, vielen Dank, dass Sie eine Bewertung hinterlassen haben! Das Spiel befindet sich noch in der frühen Entwicklungsphase, aber es werden regelmäßig neue Levels und Features veröffentlicht! Außerdem brauchte das Testteam im Durchschnitt eine Stunde, um es abzuschließen. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zur wahrscheinlich schnellsten Zeit! I know the translation may not be the best, here is the original English response: “Hello, thank you for leaving a review! The game is still in early development but new levels and features will be released regularly! Also, on average it took the testing team an hour to complete it. Congratulations on most likey having the fastest time!”

A good idea for a game, needs more content

The idea is great! The controls need a bit work (moving the map is a bit bad), would love to see more units, a bunch of new levels, a random level generator would be great for replayability! Keep working on the game! You’ve made a good start!

Response from developer

Thank you for leaving a review! All of these suggestions are definitely planned for in the future.

Good

Good game but needs more levels

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave a review! New levels are definitely going to come in the future, but for now, a skirmish mode has been put in which allows you to play on random map layouts with some customization options. Hopefully it helps while waiting for future updates!
