The fact that I have put 80 someodd hours into this little time waster concerns me. For as simple as it is, it is wonderfully replayable. Go slow in the beginning of games - a sure way to fail is to overbuild your current resources. The AI leaves a bit to be desired - many a game have been ruined by doing something mundane (say, removing, then re-placing a drinking fountain), only to result in all your citizens dying of thirst 20 minutes later. A colonist, staring right at an unconstructed water fountain, with all resources for its construction already placed, will die of thirst before he makes any attempt to save his and all the other colonists lives by doing one build action.

In a world filled with cheap basic timewaster games, this one stands out because it manages to scratch the itch, while still being replayable enough to come back to time and again.

As a last note, it was nice of the devs to update the game to the newest engine after all these years. Thats how you can tell a game is a labor of love.

Had this game for a very long time so I think it's time for a review.
When there's a cheap space, city building, and entertainment I highly recommend this game not cause I enjoyed it it was cheap back in the day but because it is still pretty fun. The many planets that they have added add new challenges. Sure it's not very advanced anymore like surviving Mars but despite the lack of some fetchers like the flying drones from one other game I kinda forgot the name about still this game is fun!
