Early Access Review
*UPDATE* As I am writing this, I am enjoying the view of successfully achieving an elliptical orbit around a sun. I was gonna go to a planet and the sun's gravity was messing with my approach with so I thought, "Did they?" and, yea, they did. I'm mind-blown. Welled played game devs, well played.***

Wow.... Is what I have to say first off. If you were a fan of the old school isometric strategy builders, you will like this game. I haven't made it "far" I'm guessing, but it's just, drop in on a planet, and make the star system your sandbox. Inter-planetary flight physics are fun, and very nice to look at. It even has a concept of astro physics. If you're a space nerd, this game will tickle your G-spot. Even space flight physics are tuned to such a degree that the actual gravity of astral bodies will affect your speed and flight paths. If you're savvy, you can use escape velocity by 'slingshot' -ing around other planets, and planetary orbit for some really cool maneuvers. I haven't read anything on this game, mainly cause I'm just having so much fun I don't want to know what happens next, so I can be surprised. From what I've gathered, it is a fun, inter-planetary sandbox, with lots of problem solving in production, logistics, and inter-planetary materials and resource gathering. I wouldn't say this game is for everyone, because it definitely is alot, but if building sims, strategy building, exploration, and of coarse, space, are your thing, you'll have alot of fun. I like it anyway.



That said, my only issues really come down to UI issues, the conveyor belt building can be a little touchy cause everything tends to wanna "snap" into the nearest place, for example. Another one would be if you're using right click top move, your avatar easily gets hung up on stuff in the map, so the auto navigation is kinda wonky, but I expect that in a pre-release state. I'm sure 1.0 will be smoothed out, my only hope is they don't change anything major. The game's building and harvesting functions are kinda like Total Annihilation. Not sure if there's actually "enemies" in this game, or a final goal outside of making a Dyson Sphere, and honestly, I don't care. I could literally play this game as it is for an eternity and be perfectly happy with it.
On a fundamental level, this game is perfect, dare I say it.

Overall, this game is pretty good for what it is. I'm having an absolute blast with it, the environments, music, and overall feel of this game are solid. There is so much to do in a sandbox as big as a star cluster in the universe. Even the measurements are done in AU's, m/s, etc. These people definitely did their Astronomy homework.
Haven't watched any videos about it, just found it on Steam one night while I was looking for strategy builders. It's true luck I found this game, and I'm glad I did. Definitely recommend.
