So, its raft... if you have played that you will likely see many similarities. Except when you step off the "space ship" well more of a space box you don't have a space shark trying to bite your legs off. Suppose even if it was in the game it would struggle to bite you through its helmet.

Pretty much identical to the demo with a few extra blueprints. I will be honest, I was expecting there to be more added to the game. After an hour it just gets tedious.
That said, I am giving it a positive review because the dev seems like a nice person and I believe the game deserves a fair shake. I just hope content and substance is not going to take too long to get added. Otherwise I can imagine the negative reviews will start to pile up and kill the game.

I will review this...... erm, review in a month or so.

Love the idea of the "game'. Unfortunately I would not even classify this as a demo. There is nothing to do in the game whatsoever except...DIE... There is no reason to waste what little food you can find to stay alive just die close to your base and continue. There are currently no working things to build. Sorry a water generator (ice melter) does not count in a space game. Graphics clip in and out (to be expected during early access but this was bad). You can start making some things only to be told that you need other items, that do not exist yet. So you can build a floor square, that clips in and out of existence, a wall so you can hang a shelf. An oxygen tank holder and a scrap holder that can't hold enough scrap to even build a floor square. A flash light that you can tape to multiple items. A tether that serves NO purpose. I gave this "game" almost 2 hours hoping to have missed something only to find out at this generation of game we should be paid to play it. I hope to come back to it sometime in the future but at this current level that may be a decade away.

VERY EARLY ACCESS but very promising. I'm marking this as yes, recommend, but only for those who want to support early on.

So far I've completed 90% of content in about 3 hours. So there's not much in the game, but what's in here already is fun and enjoyable. It's pretty much 3D version of Raft, only there's inertia. You, your raft, and other things slow down to a stop after a while. I will say that it would be more challenging if there was no inertia. But it's not bad having it in game.

Hopefully this game gets fleshed out because I really enjoyed what this has to offer already.

Few ideas:
* I hope you can craft an item to turn ice chunks into oxygen, right now you have to salvage oxygen tanks to survive.
* the sip cups are a bit hard to manage, right now I'm running with about 4 of them, so larger flasks would be nice for a higher tech level.
* old batteries, oxygen tanks, etc would be tedious to have to keep them when they're empty, but if you could refill them then that would be cool. Resources should be reused to feel more scarce.
* Probably way off or not a planned feature (yet?), but since you're wearing a space suit, it would be awesome if we could upgrade the suit, extra lights, increased oxygen, etc.

I have high hopes for this game. So far I'm enjoying it, hope to see more content and have this develop soon! current state is a proof of concept, but for what's here it's a solid 8/10 with room to grow.

I get that it's early access, and I didn't have issues with that. I DO have issues with being utterly bored, and having to grind for foreverfor minimal gains. Come on, guys! FFS, Your ad shows stuff being built at an insane speed, but in reality it takes like 16 frikkin metal to build ONE dang foundation piece!

You'd be just gathering for DAYS to try and build a TINY ship. No. NO FRIKKIN NO. Not to mention, if you compare the size of a scrap metal with the size of a foundation, scrap is about a quarter of a foundation piece. So wtf is going on with the price of a build?

I am here for the fun and to enjoy some time wasting, not here to do chores all day.

I understand that it's early access, but it needs another year or two to be viable. It may never be viable.
The tutorial is poorly done. I had to head to Youtube to figure out the basics. That's pretty bad in a game this light.
There is no storyline other than what you read on the Store Page. That's nice and all, but how about putting it in the actual game? How did I get here? Why is there floating debris all over the place? What is my end-game objective?
There is no leveling system, and therefore no progression for your character.
There is no map at all.

Building mechanics are the most basic of basic. Looting mechanics don't make much sense -- why would I need a crowbar to open a styrofoam box? Why would I bother breaking down scrap metal, when I can just pick it up all over the place? Why are there working computers everywhere with no power? Why are there no actual structures I can go inside? Surely not everything was blown completely apart.

General flying mechanics also don't make much sense. Why does it consume more oxygen for my 150lb toon to fly around vs my "ship"? Flying in general is just a bad experience. Its much faster for your toon to just fly around. The only reason for the ship at all is oxygen conservation, which also makes no sense since the ship uses oxygen to fly.

I realize that I hadn't played long enough to unlock more than a handful of things, but the gameplay loop just feels like an unnecessary long plodding chore. Resource costs for "ship" construction are honestly too high and should be a quarter of what they are. Afterall, if you're going to have a game with nothing productive to do than to build your ship, you should at least make that an enjoyable process within the first hour of gameplay.

And another thing, you don't need all these rocks all over the place. Even the asteroid belt isn't so populated that you're banging into rocks every few meters. Its space. It's huge. This adds nothing to the game experience. All it does is add further annoyances to the already poor flying mechanic.

There are ways to make this kind of game sensible, but not by leveraging a Raft based mechanic. Instead of having all this crap floating around, it would make more sense to pick apart an existing space station. Why? Because it would have power via solar panels making the whole computer download mechanic plausible. At least exploring a space station is interesting. Empyrion has this mechanic and it works quite well.

Props to the developers for attempting this kind of game, but in its current iteration I have to say no. It shouldn't have been released yet, not even as EA. Too much jank for a game this simple. Too much work for little payoff, and it seems like the grind is going to remain a permanent condition here.

Very chill game, can get lost in it for hours building your ideal makeshift spacestation. With many planned updates, you can expect to get new things every month and keep the game interesting and new for a long time.

This game was released way too early... its same as the demo more or less.. asking for refund and ill give this game a year or 2 more....

FYI: CTRL is how you move down. SPACE is how you move up. WASD for the other directions. Game isn't balanced, don't bother playing it. If you were hoping like Subnautica or Raft but in space, this isn't those.

the game has nothing working as of 2024 may for mutiplayer.

shame good game good ideas.

the host gets the blue prints and directives etc players get nothing and guess and die.

still boring.

Yeah, tried for 44 minutes. I love survival crafting/building games - most of my library is that. But this is absolutely a grinding game and for minimal gains as another reviewer stated. I refunded - will follow for another year or so. For now - nope, sorry.
