    Review for v0.3a

    This has the same problem as a lot of other trainer-style games for me. A severe lack of any character depth. The amount and substance of the dialogue is truly minimal, and there is no complexity here.

    I do think the foundation is great. The character models have a unique style, the environments look good, I like the upgrade system, and the mining/trading mechanic isn't that bad. But the world feels empty. There's no personality to it.

    Now I usually don't mind grind, and expect it with this type of game. But literally everything requires it. Want to see this meaningless handjob scene? Go repeat this trivial task 5 times first. Oh you want to see a slight variation of it? Do the exact same thing 5 more times. Ok now if you want to see the blowjob scene, go blow 15k credits first.

    The whole game feels like this, and the rewarded scenes are honestly not at all appealing enough to feel worth it imo. You get a quick animation loop with maybe a couple lines of dialogue if you're lucky. I'm not expecting the writing to be stellar for games like this, nor does it need to be. But it doesn't feel like any effort was put into it at all.

    Grind, get a quick animation, repeat. If you're super into trainer games you might enjoy it, but I wouldn't recommend this otherwise as of this version. Granted it is early, so maybe some of the things I didn't like will change.

    So far incredible! 5 STARS
    Now sure it's low on content right now but it's so very early in.
    The content that IS here is enjoyable!
    I will say it's not an entirely straightforward gameplay, I expect the average person to either need to check the walkthrough for a couple things. With that being said, if you do read all of the text you can figure mostly everything out without checking the walkthrough.
    The character models are very clearly unique and yet incredibly attractive. The attitude/personality of the main female is unique and attractive as well!
    The gameplay is somewhat repetitive, but not in a completely terrible way, it could be really grindy but if you play efficiently, it's also extremely easy.
    Normally I would give some precise feedback, however I don't see the need in this case. The game clearly has a good direction going and sounds great having monthly releases planned, hope to see a good amount of content each time, so that it feels rewarding to play more.
    Try out the game see if it's for you, if it feels too slow or confusing you might need to read more text and use the walkthrough, this isn't just a visual novel!
    Good luck to the Dev! Keep it up! :love:

    Good release, interesting game that I'll watch. Interesting story and game mechanics, it's nice to see a space game that's not boring. Upgrading your ship is fun. There's also a light amount of minigames.
    I like the character models, very different from the usual art style that we see over and over again.
    Thanks Dev and good luck with your game.
