2025-02-04	Zachary Barlow	All together fun game, however they had some problems on their back end and the only way to fix the problem was by me restarting my account. Fixing the problem took around a whole week because they'd only respond to about 1 email a day. And when I restarted my game I lost everything and they had to restore it. I lost around 6000 credits they couldn't give back since those were earned over time and around $100 usd of space station credits since those were a one time use item. Frustrating.
2025-02-03	Matthew Pope	The gameplay is good and can be a lot of fun. Don't expect advertisements and tournaments rewards to always be credited. I hired a manger and spent dark matter on him to manage a planet and when i clicked the X my manager disappeared this happened twice. I got an ad reward notification in game and before the ad loaded my prizes from the tournament that I retired from flashed on screen. Then the ad loaded and the tournament prize screen with my resource star disappeared and I never got the prize.
2025-02-03	Nicholas Kalsbeck	A fun game that is excellent for passing some time. If I need to kill a few minutes, I'll open this up and look at the resources I have after some time away and prioritize what to do based on my available resources. I enjoy that some resources can be either more in demand or less in demand, affecting the sell price of some of our resources. I enjoy it quite a bit.
2025-02-01	J Jammer	Rating at a 3 at most. 1) There is no way to upgrade your ship unless you sell you galaxy and start over. 2) The timed rewards are not constant where you have all these mined items but don't know how it's calculated how your money is earned. 3) research requirements are un-noticable when unlocked. Like the planet indicator... You advance the red but there is never a balance.. It's a waste. I would like to keep playing but there are too many limitations.
2025-01-31	LJ With no K	I enjoy playing this game quite a bit but unless you're willing to spend hundreds you'll never be able to compete with the whales. This game just has too many upgrades that cost real money. You could easily spend over $200 and not have them all. I know it's a free game but the number of ads you need to watch to advance is crazy.
2025-01-29	Eric	Fun game for a time. Gets bottle necked by limited stuff to research. Buying stuff like no ads and boosts helps out but in the long run it'll shorten the amount of time required to fully unlock everything. I see the late research to unlock more late planets as pointless because at that point you'll have already unlocked the vast majority of the research tree. Just needs more content.
2025-01-25	Justin A	Fun game, and I like the gameplay loop. There aren't annoying pop-ups trying to get me to spend more money. The only annoyance I found worth complaining about is that the next galaxy you start after you sell your galaxy is exactly the same. I would want to adapt my strategies to new planets and challenges. With nothing changing, all you do is refine your current strategy.
2025-01-22	Toshiya Tsujimura	It is a very fun game. One of the few games I have enjoyed enough to make an in-app purchase to remove the ads. The in-app purchases feel a bit too expensive to get a lot of people to pay($9.99 to remove ads) but I've been having a ton of fun with it . There are a lot of prestige and replay loops to have fun with. the 4 stars are because if I bought the premium ship and removed the ads that would be close to AAA studio video game price which is too steep in my opinion
2025-01-21	Jack Wilder	Unlike most idle games I actually feel like I'm playing a game and not just clicking buttons. I went on a idle game streak and downloaded a few. This game is the only one I'm still playing and the only one I cared to watch ads for. And this is before I unlocked daily tasks, challenges, and tournaments. And probably more as I continue playing.
2025-01-19	Matthew Holmes	After playing many idle games, this is the one I've landed on! It's very single-player friendly, has an appropriate amount of "play me daily" rewards/missions, and is a lot more open-ended. You can always choose what to research or build, with different options of how to grow, instead of being shoe horned into preset growth paths. It's a little slow to start, but for most players, you'll appreciate the time to learn the mechanics. After you sell your first galaxy, the game really picks up!
