Nothing to keep you interested, just repetitive clicking.
Can please add unlimited towers? Im a back fan and happy new years.
We* Could add some new planets and make sure theres 100% non-targeted ads ;) also adding in solar systems also add in some asteroids with the extra planets also make the ads rewarding ads Great Regards, XbearX.
This game is so fun and we could play it for ever.
Its a pretty good idle game, and it is fun. Our only problem is when you watch an ad to gain a reward, you cannot press on the screen to close the ad at the end. Very annoying.
Love the game concept and it is very fun. We have spent quite a bit of time on this little game already but we like idle games so we have found a few things that bug us. A buy max button: please for the love of god. We hate holding down the buy button for 5 mins to buy what we want in bulk. Or a buy button amount switcher, either would be great. Buying pilots: quite literally the most tedious task in the game. If you pay for ads free, it is always worth it to reroll since you get to choose. That being said, getting several new pilots at once (say when you unlock lots of ships at once) is a pain in the rear. It can take a full 30+ mins just to buy pilots. Rearranging pilots: once youve played a bit it becomes obvious some pilots are better than others. Therefore, it makes sense to move your best pilots to the top ships vs the bottom for more profit. This is easily the second most tedious thing to do as you have to resign the ones you want, move them and assign them to the new ship and then move the other pilot back to the old ships. Why isnt there an upgrade you can buy or just a button for optimize pilots? Better yet, why is it so confusing which pilots are better? We have to move pilots around just to check which ones make the most money, its very tedious. Lastly, the game isnt actually much of an idle game: you make coins while you are away but hardly. You sometimes get coin drops from boxes and this gives you almost as many coins as leaving the game overnight. Its really more of an active game with occasional forced idle to go to sleep. Please just fix these minor annoyances and the game will be pretty excellent. We understand the game economy has to be manageable so giving lots of credits during idle is not ideal but at least show us how to make our setup better for it. We play 20-30 mins a day, not 10 hours.
This game is unreal, we mean you can do the best things. 5/5 game.
This game is good because the credit bonus because you can get More than expected.
Even by idle game standards there is very little to do here, just tap the upgrade button. No strategy, nothing to collect, not even a very flimsy storyline. The things you unlock are exactly like the things you had before, no new abilities or features, just slightly different ships in slightly different hangars.
Idle clickers can be interesting; this one just isnt. The pixel graphics are really good, though.
Thats what it feels like. We are forced to send data back. Just charge for the game and take out all that other stuff you want to learn about us. Thats our opinion anyway.
This is cool we love it and it is fair not lot of ads.
Well designed and looks amazing. Definitely would recommend.
We think this game is great. Fun to play and progress.
Every game we have ever played has constant ads, this game barely has any ads, thats wonderful.
Unlike most idle tycoon games this game has an amazing art style that we love. The fact the devs put effort into the art style should be rewarded.
We love the game not to many adds just perfect! The idle income is just right we took 3 days off and was not even that good and got like 9m money and we had only two ships one on each floor! Just the right game.
Started today still in zone 1 but we have 7 fleets.
Its a nice idle game with very cool ship designs. It is very easy to progress and is a fun time overall. Once again the spaceships are amazingly designed, however, they are not the only thing that is beautifully done. The backgrounds are very nice and add a sense of atmosphere to a game that is already cool. Sure this game genre/style has been done a million times but this is a very fun one in that category.
Its a great game but are there other planets to unlock just curious.
Very monotonous which is why it puts us to bed so easily.
This game is more captivating than other idle games Ive played. Its a 5 star game. Minus one star for the cost of ads free. Its quite a bit more than most games like this. That said, the ads that are there arent intrusive and dont interrupt game play. You can choose to watch or not. Watching them really gives you a lot and you will end up watching them for the nice benefits they afford.
We like its fun to play build your tower station up and watch ships dock in docking bay.
Finally someone figured it out. Cool retro graphics. Check. Easy to learn and understand. Check. Can play it while watching tv and mess something. Check. Heck, this is the first game Ive actually spent money one. Couple bucks to remove ads. Sure. Couple bucks to double points ? Why not. So worth it. Easily our favorite game.
This is an amazing game we love the graphics and want moreeeee we still havent gotten to level 20 and we already love this game thankkk uuuu.
This game is super fun! We play this game in our spare time and theres no ads! (maybe other people could get ads) The only time we get ads is when we choose to watch an ads for coins. The reason for our 5-star review is because its a game that makes things expensive but really easy to make money. Another reason is it doesnt feel like a time-waster…to us. We got this game because its very detailed and looks like this creator is a good game maker. So we recommend this game to idle fans.
This is one of the best tycoon games Ive ever played.
This game satisfys us and is very exciting to buy new ships and workers, some look very unique. It would be better if it would show your workers, other than that we are happy with the game. Your welcome for the five stars.
Very nice, probably the best idle game.
This game has a really good progression line but it needs more towers or a prestige system..Ive minimally played game this for like 2-3 weeks and already finished it.
We have been playing for just 30 minutes and am already rich. Best tycoon game ever.
We think you should go Buy this game it doesnt have any adds that you really have to watch so ya five star rating.
Its a fun game but the annoying goose squawk noise when you accidentally do an extra tap to upgrade but funds not ready is downright annoying on headphones. It also feels out of place as a error alert. Hopefully you can switch this out or not have a sound at all since the button is disabled anyways.
1 star for the malicious review prompts. Choosing a 1 star in the app goes to email. We turn off In-App Ratings and Reviews for a reason.
We really like the art style, and as far as mobile games go, its very addictive.
Enjoy the verity offered by the game. You can spend all day playing or just a few min a day. Exactly what you would expect from an idle game, but with more personality.
We know the game just updated for the 4 station but we have aready max it out and have nothing to do. Please add a lot more expansion like another world. More maps please.
Love the game and the progression. We highly recommend it and the following feedback is by no means criticism, just observations from playing it for a while. 1) Global leaderboards would be awesome, Id love to know where we stand against other players. 2) Earlier colonies do not seem to scale efficiently compared to later ones. That is, the amount of income they generate for the cost to upgrade makes it to where it is only worthwhile to invest in the newest possible ships and colonies. That might be by design, but we would be more interested in older colonies if there was more profit potential in revisiting them.
This is no joke we love this game !! Its cool you can buy new pilots and they arent just humans! And you can have 4 ships on each hanger.
Nice art work, hence to 2star. But this is the most NON-game ive played. This one is a solid delete. Again, nice art tho.
Love this idle game. IDLE game not a game you can play 24/7 IDLE GAME. If you dont like idle game then dont download no need for bad a review. Best IDLE GAME OUT right now. Yall just need to add more worlds and a way to rest set to gain bonuses.
Its a good and easy idle tycoon.
Anyone who claims this game is boring is someone unready to invest time into it. The game will remain repetitive for a long while, the player will simply be upgrading and clicking their way up in the beginning. Eventually you can reach a steady stream of income that the player will be making massive amounts from offline income. A small detail we enjoyed was that every dock having a different ship design rather than a copy and paste. You can unlock larger ships that require twice as many managers. We feel that the managers are vastly under priced though, the player can buy a dock for millions and only pay thousands assigning a manager to it. This is even more extreme in the second island, where you can only enter with a large sum of money and yet the price for managers resets to a couple hundred bucks. Despite this small oddity, the game is fun. Dont believe us? Well, its free, so its not as though you cant at least try it. Ive enjoyed it thus far and hope to see more added.
It is awesome we love it you should download this game Im just waiting for a brand new update and Im waiting for new land But this game is awesome.
Well there isnt much to it. Its just an idle game where you build your fleet of space ships. Its pretty simple and adds arent shoved down your throat so all around awesome. Kinda think an idle battle mode where you send your ships into battle against another player would be awesome though. Have it so the health and attack of ships scales with level and have a percent chance to land shots, that way people who have less ships or levels can get lucky with rolls or something of the sort.
Its great fun and amazing compared to other games BUT the only problem is when you hire people it seems you only get girls and Im fin with that we just would like a male.
All you can do in this game is buy ships, upgrade them and hire a pilot. That's it. Nothing like prestiges, artifacts, research, guilds etc like other idle games. Just buy ship, upgrade, hire pilot. Snooze. They should have added more features before releasing it.
This game is fun until you plateau at level 16.
