Fun game, at least up to the point where content is ready. Still feels a bit lacking atm with not enough variation but relatively linear progression. While the potential is sky high, it might still be worth the wait for a full(er) release. Still more than worth the money though.

This is a great relaxing casual game with pleasant aesthetics. I highly recommend it especially because the developer does keep refining and updating the game over time and responds to feedback on Steam also. Some other early reviews mention that the game crashes, which I experienced at some point also. At the time, I worked around this issue by switching from my nvidia dedicated graphics card to the built-in Intel graphics card. However, the developer fixed this issue now, I believe.

I find there is nothing more beautiful than creating a blooming colony and explore the great unknown. A true marble in the making.

this is so difficult to win..... and have some error...
1. when i want to launch my space machine, try to click launch button. but button is removed from window. it need some explain of condition for launch. and the condition is so particular about launch. the amount of resource is so small. it make so hard to establish a colony. i hope to be reconciled this condition.
2. i think that this game made to defeat. even though no longer the territory don't become wider(limited attacked tower and people) ,enemy become more strong.
3. when i establish new colony, the lattice of building disappeared. it means that lattice of building don't exist at window of the colony.
4. every time people dies, all window must be manipulated.
i want to listen about a check about the problem and some answer about the result.
english so hard TT

You start the game on a small planet with some resources and settlers and you need to build up an empire and try not to have all your settlers die from trolls. This game is really good, and pretty difficult. You can colonize other planets too, but I would recommend going to another temprate planet before going anywhere else. the first time I went to another planet, I went to a desert planet, and because there was no wood, my peabs died. In its current state, I rate this game 6.5/10.
Suggestions: planets that vary in size, more ways to produce energy, and more structures you can place on water.

I may not be good at reviewing games here on steam, however, I shall give it a go!
You begin with nothing, all you have is a crashed ship with little resources which you have to build up into a prosperous colony, you have to contend with your little manpower and large assault from "Trolls" from space. all of this makes it difficult to get going, your gonna fail many times before you get to your second planet. Yes, the second planet, the other aim is to become a multi-planet race as soon s possible, sadly I've yet to get that far, but given the enjoyment I've found so far, I'm sure it will be great fun. SO if you want to buy a small colony game, then this is the one to get! In a way, it's a mini universism,. without all the complex parts there, making it much much easier to understand!

I don't really do reviews so sorry if this drags on a bit. I really like this game. I got it about 2-3 months ago and am still having fun. I really like the addition of roads and bridges as well as the entire concept for the game. I have included tips for new players and bugs as well as suggestions if you want to read through.
For anyone starting out just a few tips that I needed when I started.
1. Drag from one planet to the one you want to travel to, to start an expedition. This took me a while to find out.
2. Place lots of farms for food. It gets harder in the late game with more peabs.
3. Use the 'Gather Peabs' task when being attacked, place it near your castles as well. It helps get them all together and move the trolls towards the castles.
4. Iron is important.
5. Place your bridges on 'flat' land. Make sure the ground, you place it on, is on the same level as the water or bugs occur.
6. Have your Jobs(J), Calendar(C) and Population(P) tabs always open to one side. It helps you organise your peabs and keep track of things you need to do. If you want you cant have one of the farms open to keep track of the growth, as well.
7. (This isn't really a tip) Mess around with different worlds. Create one with no trolls and mess around. Make one and try different seeds.
I have however found a few bugs, which is normal for an Early Acces Game, I would like to point them out to help the developers.
Sometimes when trying to get on the bridges the peabs will fall off, I have found this happens when the bridges are either not connected to a road or they are not on the same level as the water. They keep falling off and trying to get back on until they die.
Sometimes the white outlines for builds stay throughout worlds and it gets very annoying.
The peabs sometimes just starts spinning for no reason.
I have found alot of other bugs being fixed recently so sorry if these have been fixed.
And finally some suggestions.
Have upgrades for your buildings, such as a bigger house or farm.
More water buildings, as there is only the boat.
Birds and other animals you can hunt or do something with on the island.
More planet types and sizes.
More space things. Maybe a black hole or sun.
Terrain editer so you can fit more houses and buildings.
So thats it, if you got down this far, thanks for reading and I would definetly recommend this game to anyone who wants a chill fun time. I would rate the game a 7.5/10 as it still needs more things done to it.

Well i dont normally write reviews but i feel that this is a good game worthy of some love and words. First off it reminds me so much of other games i love such as Bannished and Kingdoms and Castles. It has a charming allbeit rather triangular art style which i rather enjoy as its different. The core came mechanics are there. OBVIOUSLY theres a few bugs here and there but nothing that breaks the game. Id love to see this game go further with things such as larger planets with moons, bridges, a rework of the build menues so they fit their purpose better, a rotating camera ability, and maybe some terrain filling or leveling abilities to name a few.
Overall though for 10 dollars its great! Its already pollished enough to play for a few hours before youve done most things. The only thing i havent done yet is colonize more than 2 planets and aquire the multiple forms of energy production.
So long as this developer keeps up with the game and the community, this game will go far and be a joy to play!
