I guess I’m just out of luck? Why have the items available to make if you don’t have a way to make them without buying a pack? ### 4/5 — Ads not watchable *2026-07-23* The ads system don’t work anymore for me, I already try to uninstall reinstall, Check the internet access for the app, any solution ? ### 3/5 — Formerly A Great Game *2026-07-09* Genuinely was a really cool and fun game, the grinding and aesthetic for the game i liked and i was happily progressing through the game. However in a recent update it suddenly has gotten a lot more pay to win, the limited pets drops are now extremely difficult to do unless you buy gems to upgrade. Getting more materials used to be an upgrade on the rocket but now depends on how much your rocket cost which is yet another example of needing to pay. There is very little progression you can do in the game now without having to shill out some cash which has unfortunately put me off, which is extremely disappointing as i really did like this ### 2/5 — Was fun *2026-07-08, version 1.7.1* Until this random update that made you have to use your under leveled ship at too high of level missions to get anything for upgrades. Now I’m at a complete standstill. Almost seems like they went with the paywall option. Games are dying because of greedy companies ### 3/5 — fun game at the start *2026-07-06* really nice executed game but like bro how am i stuck for 1 week on the last 2 buildings before 2nd prestige and what the h3ll is that spaceship update??? literally can’t do nothing above lvl 4-5 with whatever upgrades and modules and even a fairly good spaceship so i get like 68xp and i need like 10k xp to upgrade 1 crewmember??????????? yall tryna cashgrab with them chests i assume ### 4/5 — Cool game but little bit unbalanced *2026-07-05* The game is super fun in the beginning but after like the 2nd prestige the number scaling is too extreme in my opinion. I don’t really like new update with the modules and enemy wave game modes. It’s a pretty cool idea but it’s too difficult. You can’t get enough bones/xp/gems from it to actually progress in the game. that should be reworked. The ships need more health/DMG so we can beat higher levels. ### 3/5 — Update severely reduced progression *2026-06-26* After the recent update, I'm basically stuck. For instance, my next upgrade for the Kinetic Striker is 277dn, and playing as actively as I have in the past, i get maybe 2-4dn a day. At this rate, it'd take me weeks to get that upgrade. Please address this and revert the production changes. ### 3/5 — Great game, ruined by update. *2026-06-23* Been playing this game for a couple months and enjoyed it a lot, got all the way down the singularity tree and about halfway through the planets on exploration. New update rolled in around early June, When this released I could instantly put more upgrades into my singularity tree as I was that far ahead of what was released. Unfortunately, this and the changes to the ship systems completely destroyed my progression in the game, and without a built in way to reset my save, I don’t intend to carry on. Really unfortunate as i thoroughly enjoyed this game and am so disappointed the late game was made even more agonisingly slow. ### 2/5 — New update seems to have broken something *2026-06-21, version 1.7.1* Not really sure what happened, but after the update I'm making exponentially less than what I was and cannot afford any new upgrades. Basically just stuck waiting for a fix ### 2/5 — New update is yuck *2026-06-20, version 1.7.1* Was really enjoying the progression but the recent update has been unbalanced and it’s sucking the fun out of this game. ### 2/5 — New update *2026-06-17, version 1.7.1* The game was pretty amazing and great. Been playing for about two months. Was decently far ahead had about 70 singularity points that I couldn’t spend. Then this update happened. I can spend those points but it completely destroyed my ability to make progress. Completely broke my rocket ship. Now there is absolutely nothing I can do to make progress. Besides wait 12 days and hope I get an item to upgrade a tool. ### 4/5 — Imbalanced but fun *2026-06-14* It’s a pretty clear progression for the first round of new buildings, but after that, it starts to get a little muddy. Leveling up the elemental buildings takes absolutely forever, and if you don’t specialize early on, you’re out of luck. The skill tree runs out way too quickly, and now I am left with 31 singularities and counting, and nothing to do with them. It would be great if there were star levels of progression for the skill tree so that they didn’t go to waste. It’s nice to just have running in the background and check in on occasion, which is the only way to play after a while. Off-line progression is way too slow, and clicking is basically useless. You have to rely on the 10% bonus to make any measurable progress. A fun game and definitely recommended, but it needs some work at the higher level levels to keep it engaging. ### 3/5 — Fun *2026-06-08, version 1.6.2* I enjoy the game, but I don’t really like the scaling of the of the money for upgrades. I think the different gear and animals are cool as well, but the in game money scales really large and it makes it difficult to play for an extended period. Sometimes it takes too long to upgrade. ### 2/5 — Starts well enough *2026-06-01* The pacing though gets really bad once you hit the second to third cycles. I’m at ch at the moment and it can take hours just to buy one upgrade. The 3rd/4th major ones that can 5x don’t even seem reachable now. Offline is totally useless. Can’t even leave it open to idle as it’s slows to an almost halt without tapping. Ads don’t give as much reward as 30 seconds of tapping would. Shame as I quite liked it at the start but it’s just so unbalanced. ### 4/5 — Good but forced ads *2026-05-31, version 1.6.2* Was having a good time for about 2 minutes before an ad forced it way onto my screen. Unfortunately that’s an automatic uninstall from me. ### 2/5 — Good game, breaks at certain point *2026-05-21* This game is great, a little slow and unbalanced, but fun nonetheless. There is a major bug once you reach a certain amount of matter where things just start to not work and animations go crazy. It managed to heat up and lag my brand new phone as well. Would be happy to change this rating to higher once the bug is fixed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken percentages and the game rewards stop *2026-08-12* As others have said. Completed the last viewable mission, and there are just no more. So many items left to upgrade with the only way to get them, by watching a once a day add. Additionally, the %s make literally no sense. Math is broken somewhere alone the way. I also emailed support, to inquire about some things, zero response. It was fun while it lasted. Time to delete this one. Stay away fellow idle game travelers. ### 1/5 — Advancing takes months *2026-08-08* Getting an update was positive news I guess, but the level-up math still doesn’t work out. After the update, I purchased all the upgrades for the laser amounting to what should be a 2400% increase, however I’ve seen no change in growth. I just unlocked and fully upgraded a pet provided a supposed 500,000% increase but again saw nearly no change in advancement. Clearly something is broken. Advancement in the game has basically crawled to a stop to a point where it feels like a bug. Even the newer elements are out of reach and are poorly balanced. I really regret purchasing portions of the game at this point. ### 1/5 — The math doesn’t math *2026-07-09* Getting an update was positive news I guess, but the math still doesn’t work out. After the update I purchased all the upgrades for the laser amounting to what should be a 2400% increase, however I’ve seen no change in growth. Advancement in the game has basically crawled to a stop to a point where it feels like a bug. Holding out to see if it’s just this level or if the next level will do the same. I really regret purchasing at this point ### 1/5 — Slow progression and impossible to play for free *2026-07-08* This game has a really cool and unique art style and concept. I very quickly could tell that the devs had built viewing ads for currency into their progress intentionally, so that to progress you would have to watch a lot of ads. Then when I got further into the game, I discovered items that are only purchasable through gems. A paid currency you get 30 of for free per day. To progress I would’ve had to check in every day for over a week. Or pay money. For that reason I can’t recommend this. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Antimatter broken/erased from game. *2026-07-04, version 1.7.1* The antimatter is gone from the game after this last update. More than a bug report than anything. I have max ship and have gotten 0 over like 10 days/missions. Plz fix. ### 1/5 — Ruined after update *2026-06-28* This was a really cute game prior to the most recent update (albeit with some areas needing improvement). It's absolutely impossible to progress after the update though. I was fine ignoring a lot of the rough edges before this update because the vibes were really that great but I gave it some time to see if it would get better and the most recent changes honestly really just killed it for me. ### 1/5 — Spaceship battles killed progression *2026-06-27, version 1.7.1* I quite literally can't even get past level 9 of these space battles even though the update was introduced very late into my playthrough and all of the modules on my ship are rare or epic. Seriously, did anyone even play the update before they launched it? This is god awful. ### 1/5 — Recent Minigame update killed progression *2026-06-27, version 1.7.1* They recently added minigames which completely nerfed all offline gains and made progress glacial. Unable to upgrade crew anymore or pets or parts, unless I grind the terrible minigames that also default to a difficulty that is impossible since I cannot collect parts on a reasonable time frame. Uninstalling reluctantly as it was a fun idle game before they ruined it ### 1/5 — Recent update killed progression *2026-06-20* A recent update reworked the ship mechanic destroying the ability to get xp for crew, bones for pets, and materials for gear. There is no way to continue progression without building that mechanic from scratch which appears to require endless ads. The game is unworkable now because you can’t progress without the rewards from the ship, but it’s so behind that it only gives trivial amounts unless you play into the cash/ad grab they made it. ### 1/5 — Wiped my progress *2026-06-18* This game wasn’t anything spectacular to begin with but there was an update recently that changed how rockets worked. It seems okay but they completely wiped progress on the rockets, setting you back to square one. Rockets were extremely important for progressing in the game. The only way to catch up on progress is to watch ads or pay gems. I’ll pass, thanks. Pretty disappointed but I seriously do not recommend this game to anyone if the dev is just going to randomly wipe your entire progress on stuff. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best idle *2026-06-09, version 1.6.2* Awesome music and art style. It's pretty fun to progress. But I think the astronauts need a platform or something. They look a little goofy circling the accretion disc lol ### 5/5 — Very Fun Game! *2026-06-07* Love the game! Not any real issues and been enjoyable this whole time through! I do wish more skills were added to the skill tree(those maxed out already). ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-06-06* Fun idle clicker ### 5/5 — Прикольная, хз почему пишут что затянута, почти все вкачал, нужна обнова *2026-05-24* Было бы классно если бы добавили более подробную и статистику, и непонятно что дают остальные стихии кроме морозных ### 5/5 — Probably the best idol game I’ve played in a long time. *2026-05-15* Relaxing, easy to play, easy to understand, ads are few and far between. I do suggest paying for the ad removal I wish I think it was like 10 bucks, but still probably one of the best idle games I’ve ever played. ### 5/5 — Game Suggestion *2026-05-12* I love the game honestly no forced ads and great rewards but I would love the idea of being able to rebirth I feel like it would be fun for the transition points with upgrades. It’s just an idea thx for make this game. ### 5/5 — A Rare Gem! *2026-05-07, version 1.6.2* It doesn’t clutter the UI with garbage promos. Just a solid, well designed, nice looking clicker. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Jogo muito legal *2026-04-19* jogo viciante, adicionem português brasil logooo ### 5/5 — Don’t be confused! *2026-04-09* This is an idle play game, growing and expanding as you go. It has super fun and creative pixel graphics. And lovely music. It’s not based on speed, but growing your space port over time. There are lots of great layers like different crew members, pets, and equipment that improve your expansion as you go. If I’d have one suggestion, I’d maybe add two or three more songs for the background music. But it is an idle play game, where the joy comes in gradually growing overtime. That’s how idle play games work. ### 5/5 — Very cool concept *2026-04-08* Great game so far, I see the potential! Other comment on the zoom in when tap is valid, and can get annoying. I’m excited to see where this goes, but I’m having a lot fun so far :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
