Had a few bugs. Some annoying, but otherwise not bad, until loading a third upgrade unit onto my ship crashed the entire game. In general, many of the bugs I've encountered have already been reported below.
In general, loving the idea currently more than the execution. This is, in essence, a series of fetch quests. I was still getting into the loop regardless. However, maintaining the ship didn't feel as satisfying as I think it was meant to be. constantly stopping to clean the ship components felt more of a nuisance with how quickly they popped up. Sleeping felt like it restored too little stamina, so I'd be sitting and waiting on my stamina to go up, then stopping to clean things before going back to bed.
Though I suppose that's true to life, really,
I like the idea of controlling the ship a bit while heading to the planet (drifting into space debris to pick up some change), though it got old fast, and I promptly began ignoring it. The money you made felt like too little, and otherwise you were just basically playing pong but badly (avoiding the bouncing ball, in this case).
I do want something more engaging to do on the ship while traveling. Something productive, not just trying to keep things working. Hell, I'd be ok with longer trips if that was the case. Like instead of just flying into debris, maybe there was some computer busywork you could do. Something even as silly as filling out surveys for galactic corporations. Really play up that I'm using all my free time to make a quick buck.
All that said... I wanted to keep playing it, so it's doing something right. Even if it is basically Fetch Quest: The Game, the thematic hook of being a space trucker kept me interested. The idea of being able to customize and upgrade my ship, making my own mark on it's design, and maybe, just maybe, having enough space in there to avoid having to pick up and move things around all the time to navigate the corridors.
Oh, and hopefully customizable gamepad controls can happen. Pressing the X and Y buttons to switch tools felt unnatural, so I kept pressing the bumpers and being annoyed they didn't do it.
Good luck with the game Yahtzee! Excited to see more.
