Nova lands sits comfortably in its own little niche of factory/automation and island builder (like Forager), I don't really think it does anything particularly new but what's here is decent, well considered, and I enjoyed it for the time I spent.

There are things i'd change for sure, many buildings feel too big compared to the islands you get (or larger/more islands should be present when you hit late game) and the buildings are all square but the islands are hexagonal in shape making it hard to really optimise space. This lack of space and ability to improve your factory can make the lategame feel quite frustrating as you need significantly more items, yet the ways you can improve production rate feel very limited.

Nova Lands is indeed very addicting. The simplicity of the game, makes it really cozy which for me is perfect.

The game strikes a perfect balance between relaxed progression and rewarding complexity. You begin by establishing a modest base on a vibrant alien world, but not for long, you’re going to be managing automated systems, crafting advanced materials, and exploring new islands brimming with mystery and resources. The sense of discovery is constant, and the way the world opens up feels natural and rewarding.

One of Nova Lands’ biggest strengths is its automation system. It’s intuitive yet powerful, allowing players to optimize production lines without overwhelming them. The bots you unlock and program are a joy to work with, and it’s incredibly satisfying to see your little colony humming along efficiently. (But be aware this process take TIME "like a lot of TIME" especially end game. So be aware to have long cozy nights).

Visually, the game is colorful and inviting, with a charming 8-bit, sci-fi aesthetic and a relaxing soundtrack that complements the gameplay perfectly. The UI is clean and accessible, making it easy to navigate even when your base becomes more complex.

Overall, Nova Lands is a refreshing and addictive experience that deserves more attention. Whether you're a veteran of the genre or just looking for a cozy game to get lost in, this one is well worth your time.

Forager + Stardew Valley + a pinch of Dome Keeper (as spice) = Nova Lands!

GG!

So much fun shame games like this just dont get seen and dont get the love they deserve wish there was more to do and earn/unlock but wow its great fun and relaxing. Getting to end game is so boring and drawn out for no reason bot limit is annoying when the game becomes overwhelming with the ammount you need to do so gets a bit boring at end game.

soundtrack is awesomesauce, privacy settings a bit concerning, but i dont really care

i love the crabs so much

Pretty good automation game. I saw it all the way to the end, and though it was getting a little tiring right before the finish the whole game felt like a good length.

Overall I quite liked the casual feel of the automation gameplay, it was nice just to build things without having to do math or use the word throughput at anypoint. The combat was weak but didn't bog it down much either.

Autistada histórica.

I liked it, very chill game. I feel like there are small holes in the story telling; Buying everything from a store for those characters to not respond in some way feels odd, same goes for any of the stores. The puzzles are easy enough, the fights feel kinda pointless for the 'rewards' they give but basically once off events so it is fine. Collection of gems for upgrades also didn't feel all that great either for the highest level stuff.

All very nit-pick level complaints really as most of the gameplay is just building a factory, which I did enjoy, and overall would recommend.

An interesting automation game. Nothing too complicated, pretty fun and enjoyable.

If you love automation game in general and want to play one without neglecting real life (you know how addicting automation game could be), this one is definitely for you.
