Okey, so I'm gonna assume this is a "crowdfunder" for the other game by the developer, because this is nothing more than a trading simulator heavily inspired by the basic trade interface of David Braben's massively influential "Elite" from 1984, and nothing else. Tested it out for an hour, and not sure much else is implemented outside going back and forth watching numbers go up as you offload goods at each spaceport. Currently, this game is very early access, and it might be that alot more is coming for the game, thou I'm hoping most time is spent in the other title, fleshing it out to an actual game standing on its own two spacelegs, but currently there's not much to do outside bugtesting this one for the developer. For it's price, thats an acceptable deal.

Really fun little trading simulator, Numbers go up monkey brain happy. Very early access but looking forward to future patches.
I found the game to be challenging if you selected the discovery mode. Each new planet offer a variety of items which couldn't always be sold at every planet. I jumped around, and the credits went up and down. If you want it less challenging, just write it done. The image and sound effects were very enjoyable. Recommend checking it out, a nice game for casual play.
Great nostalgic trip! Love the background music and graphics. Developer is very responsive with tons of updates!
I am absolutely loving this game. it is low key if you want it to be and new features are being added pretty much daily. the developers have a plan for where they want the game to go and are very open to hearing what the players want. this game is great and will be even greater!
Fun space trading sim. Buy and sell good for max profit, upgrade your ship's range, explore the universe!! Fun to explore each location. Highly recommended!
It's one-dimensional and simplistic. Buy low, sell high and pray. While I'll probably only get 5-10 hours total out of it, the price was right and the nostalgia was real. I'd recommend it as a good office game as you can just walk away and come back to it as needed. Once you learn the prices and figure out the equation it loses a little bit of the magic but it's honestly great for what it is.
This game is a true throw back to space games. I like the setup and while Early Access, this developers other games have had a ton of updates. Excited to see how this is updated! P.S. Galaxy Seed 188 is my current favorite. Try it! I can understand font being part of the art, but having the option to switch it to something that scales better to my large monitor is a game changer!
Ah, this game is so nostalgic! I mostly traded goods and even that alone was really fun. Sound design is just right. Even though it's early access, it provides a smooth experience. I like the daily updates and looking forward to the full version.
