## What is Space station?

With pleasure we introduce you a game in a genre of infinite space simulator with puzzle elements.
In this game you should staying on the Earth's orbit build up a space station which could protect not only itself but whole the planet from disappearance. But do not think it will be another easy game.
In space you should operate moduls in 3D world. At the same time you should think over how and where build the moduls for station could function and at the same time do not make difficult to build it longer.
And also you should watch the consumed energy and station crew, install new weapon and radars which will define asteroid and space debris.

But else you'll see a beautiful interface graphic, pleasant musical registration, which make an unforgettable atmosphere.

### 2/5 — Good start…needs improvement

*2021-12-15, version 1.0.2*

Cons:
Game is too dark when in the earths shadow.

Prompts/Hints at start are too small, hard to read, and too short on screen. 

Docking “tether” is clunky, you should be able to screen select the docking port you want. It just snaps to the closest point and draws you in, so you have to fight it with thrusters. 

The “Big one” count down is deceiving because small debris strikes your station beforehand wiping your station out. 

Blue and red controls make sense, beyond that it’s a crap shoot which direction is aligned between the structure and controls. 

What are “tanks” for, are they batteries? 

Map is useless, would rather see arrow on edge of screen pointing to station

Pros:
Unique gameplay, very close to an old school game on pc I used to play called Space Station manager. 

Unique modules with varying stats, and progression. 

Almost chill, would like a chill building mode with an additional O2 stat and O2 generating modules.

### 1/5 — Do not download

*2017-12-23*

Do not download. Waste of money. Controls are confusing. Way too difficult. Boring. Wish I could have my 99p back. Waste of space. Don’t know why it exists. 

Again do not download.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2017-01-30*

The player interface control is hard to control there is no reference for direction of travel in any way just don't buy you will be disappointed. 

 If I can get my money back I will
