I had a really fun time playing this! I got to 1.3 million and found it difficult to easily make more money so I blew all the money on upgrades then accidentally closed the game a while later! Just wondering, how does the high score get saved? In the next game I played my score was only 87,000 so I didn't know if I was supposed to submit it in-game or something.
I played the windows version and the mouse wheel didn't seem to work for zooming but +/- did work (though I wished it would have zoomed out more). For a jam game I think this was pretty great and was scoped pretty well, but if you ever decide to add more, I think it would be cool to see occasional deals in the shops where some resources could be on-sale to make you feel like you were getting a deal (rather than set prices).
I think the music was great and the overall experience definitely made me feel like I was a lonely nomad cruising space. I agree that K.A.R.E.N. was kind of annoying, but honestly, the game would have been super lonely without her :)
Thanks for the kind and helpful review! Good idea on further zoom and deals on planets. I do hope to make a v2 and I'll likely add those changes.
Regarding high score, your score is sent to the server as you play, but unfortunately if you spent all your money, it would have used your _last_ score and not the highest you ever had :(. Might be a good reason for me to only send new score if it higher than your last one.
hah ok. makes sense :) it adds a bit of risk management to the mix. really hope you make a v2. I'd definitely play it.
Fabulous game. I'm obsessed with Karen - she made me laugh. The audio was astounding!! This was really addictive. Well done!
Thank you for the kind review! That really means a lot.
Such an addictive game! I played this on stream for faaaarrr too long before having "one more planet" actually stick. I totally forgot about the upgrade system, but it was probably for the best since that would have meant I never put it done! Well done :D
Thanks for the great review! Wish I could have watched the stream!
Very very very addictive :D Great mood, the music does its job!
I had a visual bug when the planets credits would go crazy, but nothing really bad.
Zoom didn't work but that may just be a browser thing.
Gonna download the standalone version and play some more later!
Thanks for the feedback, and glad you enjoy it! Out of curiosity was zooming not working with -/= keys or with the scroll wheel on a mouse?
Both (im on firefox)
Very weird, I do most of my testing on Firefox as well. You'll have to let me know if this persists for you across a refresh of the page. Sorry about the inconvenience!
No problem, really, it works on the linux version so I'm good :D
Cool game! The implementation of the leaderboard was pretty interesting.
I find it a little tedious to move from planet to planet (maybe the random dialogs could pass by automatically during travel instead of freezing the ship?)
That's a good idea! That might help speed up the overall game play. I'll likely make that change when I release the "deluxe" addition after the jam :)
Simple but nice basis to start a game from :) The gameplay lacks some variety, K.A.R.E.N. quickly repeats herself (I understand it's intended, but perhaps she should slowly say less over time) and the random encounters also don't seem meaningful. That said, as usual it's quite addictive seeing number go big. And the unique goal to have my name broadcast across the universe had me slowly trading my way to richest man alive (while doing other things).
Thanks for the review! Yeah, I would agree that KAREN does indeed get annoying, perhaps too much so! :) Good idea at limiting that over time.
Fantastic game. Became a millionaire :D as it was quite addicting.
Now KAREN says that everyone should try to be more like me :) the richest nomad in the galaxy.
Amazing music!
Score to beat right now is 1,789,827c! That's impressive :) Glad you enjoyed the game.
Really nice space trading game! I like the small intermissions by the AI or finding an abandoned space ship, makes it less repetitive (which trading games tend to be by nature).
Yeah, it is a slow paced game for sure. If I had more time there are a number of changes I would have liked to make to keep player engaged and on their toes lol
Cool game!
Thanks for the review!
Cool game! I like the banter with the sidekick!
