Community Insight:
This game constantly forces you to watch ads, and no ads is pretty pricey. Also, why force us to build a base shelter when the ship and plenty of intact ruins are available to use? Also the base builds high up in the air, no stair or ramp to build to get up there. Stupid. Running out of water after a few minutes of gameplay and no clue how/ where to get more. Graphics are pretty good and the controls are ok. If you like to watch lots of ads and be frustrated, get it.
Its so good its like a miracle.
We dont know if its a new update or if it has always been this way, but its like the screen size is wrong or something, zoomed in and possibly missing what might be out if frame. Running all the time in a heavy space suit is weird and unrealistic. Also, if you need the suit, why no helmet? The game starts on the ship and you have to get off the ship. Ok, but you can actually roam around the ship a bit, just not open any doors. Then you pass presumably the rest of the crew as you leave the ship, but they are still and you cant really see them clearly. The text is a lot of run-on sentences with most of the articles (a, an, the) missing and a weird mix of formal and informal speech with oddly timed and therefore surprising profanity as well as phrases substituted for a similar phrase that would have been more appropriate. For example, whats going on means what is happening as in a current status update. We think thats what was intended. Whats going around which is what was stated instead refers to what is circulating or being passed from person to person, as in gossip or a virus. In summary, there was enough bad phrasing and strange graphics to be distracting, and we were not patient enough to continue the game after we got off the ship.
Hey Devs you should make a tools pls Good game Bro.
Its amazing!we love it!but if you added a multiplayer mode with sandbox that would be amazing! P.S. We would love it with more weapons.
Can we make storage chests and large inventorys easier to flip through? Its impossible the time it takes to put stuff in your pockets, and remember where the materials are. The building function could use a refresh of new items. Its quiteslim pickings. .thats about all this game needs and we would never close it.
It is an amazing game but we wish it was multiplayer and in creative you can make anything.
But please add multiplayer this game would be a 5 star.
Needs Controller support asap .. The game is too good not to have it !!!! We will give it 5 stars and promote this game after controller support gets added.
Used to play this game long time ago but with the updates the only thing that disappointed is the creative mode. Now nothing is infinite. Weapon, digging tool youll have to look for components to make building blocks, theyre no more given. Why is it creative mode when youll have to make building blocks.
To be honest, we liked this game WAY too much! Great graphics and a great palette for any creative!!! Really amazing and we burned more hours that we will never get back! In the best possible way. Now. Yesterday it was a bit glitchy to get it to startup but when it did, all our building and construction was gone! Landscape was still molded in the ways that we edited but every panel and building component was gone! We still had items in our personal possession but everything, sorry did we say EVERYTHING was gone! Maybe someday.
This would be a 4 star game if it didnt crash constantly.
Combine space stuff and sandbox games which both are our favorite and we love it more games like this please.
We love it but can you add more guns 1 more thing when will you add close up combat if you could add it 2 please add guns to vehicles thats all please respond. Thanks.
This gave has way to many ads. Not clickbait too, these ads pop up randomly. Cant enjoy this game. If you like survival games this is great but youll never get past the ads. Theres no way youll enjoy this game.
Needs controller support called backbone.
We hope you can add more free and stronger cars. And since their futuristic cars. Maybe you can add a flying mode to them? We hope you add these.
The game is great overall, it has its bugs but all games have those nothing to cry about really but we feel like adding multiplayer could really turn this game around for the better. Playing by ourselves is cool but we would love to play this game with our husband as well but for now we will stick to Rust since it is somewhat the same (just no aliens or alien type atmosphere) and has multiplayer.
This game seems really fun and we want to play, but when we go to play the game, it crashes. Please get back to us on this problem as soon as you can, thanks.
Awesome game! There is a yellow enemy robot that doesnt shoot at us, but follows us everywhere lol.
Its fun and Ill be busy with our friends And youll get good reviews.
Love the concept. Hate the game crashes that happen 3 times a day at least! About to delete it. One day all of a sudden without warning. All our progress (buildings,gardens, everything but our rating level) was gone. Disappeared. GONE. Now we start over and now game crashes.could be a good game.
Simply put, there are various frustrating advertisements randomly which ruins the ability to enjoy game. The game explanations are minimal, leaving people confused for what items are, where they are and how to store them. We played for a while and was always going through it trying to find things, store things and figure things out- and then getting random advertisements that make it harder to do. Whats this for? How do we get this? How can we fill these empty bottles with water? Oh, its construction materials??? How do you attack? What are these things??? How do we pick this up? Oh, you have to walk near it? Waits. How do you refill this bar up top? How do you remove this wall? You dont get any materials back? So, simply summarizing, too much frustration to enjoy this game.
Used to play all the time, used creative mode to build freely until it stopped working. Its not creative anymore, says unlimited but it isnt, you can free build you still have to find materials for ever wall. Not the same. It was better before.
Mechanics are pretty smooth, but theres not really any objectives It feels boring and soulless. Not many aliens or creatures, plants. All the ruins kinda look the same.
You have to pay to use 2 vehicles.in creative your car is still able to break and your tools use batterys still.
We might have enjoyed this game except this is one of those games where the tutorial never seems to end im constantly being guided on where to go and what to do its not truly a free roam game.
After playing it awhile it currently wont let us enter the creative mode, it keeps closing the app when we try to enter. Please fix.
We like the game but creative mode we like playing but the update is making you find Materials to make the stuff to build with you should have the material already in your inventory so you dont have to find the material to make each item.
We really like this game!And we have no complaints at all.But we think their would be some kind of back story!Let us now wait you think.
When we try logging in it kicks us out and we cant do anything Ive tried restarting it and deleting it and Re-download it but its still just we cant explain and even when you do login it just kicks you five seconds after getting it.
The controls are a bit smoother than the other games we play.Also dont get us started with the vehicles they are way too fast.
We were completely addicted and then we come back one day and the mode we want keeps crashing making it impossible to play please fix this.
Positives are open world and creative options. Too many negatives though like it taking forever to drink enough water to fill up (what is the point of a tiny sip over and over? Just make it so we can go to water and instantly fill up), no real place or instructions where to store items so we put them in the truck but they disappear from there when we next sign on. Vehicle physics are poor, etc. Since the game has been around for years there is little hope that anything will be fixed. Devs, you have a good idea with this but unless you fix a few things it wont attract or keep players. Ill check back in a few months.
Let ke start off by saying spending a few bucks to deal with 0 ads is completely worth it. The game is smooth, the graphics are solid, and it is a pretty good sized map for what it is. We love that the game resets the environment so items are not finite and the multiple game options just make us shocked we spent as little as we did. So a few things we would like to see, improve, or add that would put this over the top: First, a multi player aspect. We would love to be able to invite our friends, family, and others to our world. Even if we are just hosting it on our device or a separate server. Even the most garbage game has a much larger life when a community is involved. Second, quests and quest based achievements. We would love a large building loaded with hostiles that drop higher level items, awards to hang on our wall, or even just a custom skinned bed with national flag blankets. Again, quests that are extremely difficult as a solo would encourage a multi player aspect would increase play time and longevity. Finally, for the sake of this long review, some mines that reset. We get that when we ours a piece of dirt, it is gone, but an actual ours that has drops for chests, items, and gems would be so perfect. The game just feels like it gets to a point of wiping everything to the bedrock or monotony. If we start mining, find a secret area, unleash a couple of hostile alphas, or even just find a wrench to repair our level five digger, Im sold. These are features we know ourselves and many many others would gladly pay extra, or even a monthly rate for. Thanks again for a great game that we know can be much more.
We really enjoyed the game but since the last update, it wont even open. As soon as we click the mode we want to play, it crashes. Please fix it so we can start playing again.
Fun game, but now we cannot access it. It just crashes.
We love the game, it operates smoothly, the movements look pretty good and the word design is overall very nice. A few things Id like to see: 1. Farmland and the ability to cultivate decorative plants and flowers. 2. Different clothing options other than just colors, maybe a few different backpacks and suit designs to choose from? 3. Multiplayer, of course, this would really set the game apart from others like it. 4. Physics/Gravity rework, we cant tell if gravity is supposed to be similar on Planet X compared to Earth, but vehicles operate in earth like conditions, people however, tend to have a bit of moon gravity, its a very noticeable continuity error that throws you off getting out of a vehicle, it just looks like earth, it feels like it until you get out of the vehicle too. Im also gonna request a larger variety in tools and weapons, and preferably with more natural or believable animations. The digging and mining tools are pretty much exactly the same, Id like to be able to use weapons that have different niches in how they are used, same for tools. Everything else is great, keep up the good work.
We actually quite liked this game. True, there were bugs, like sometimes two of you would spawn and the start and numerous things broke, but we kind of liked tunneling through the ground and killing creatures with that blue gun and making houses in the craziest places we could think of. Unfortunately, the latest update seems to have broken it. We dont mind if our progress is reset, but we cant do anything anymore. We open the game, click a game mode, and it crashes. So if that could get fixed, then Id definitely recommend the game. Its an immersive world and you really can build anywhere, which is very neat.
This game was really fun but now the new update is out it keeps crashing when loading into a world we would have rated five stars if not for this.
Very good architecture sandbox game. Need more components.
This is a really good game and has the potential to be great but Im on the iPhone 11 and it looks like a Nintendo dsi game.
Love it but we need more people opshans.
When we try to store items it doesnt let us and it dosent let us eat thank you its our pessure.
First of all please tell us how to store items from our backpack. We love this game but, You should have a bit more details about how to play the game in the beginning. We Dont know how to eat or store our things that we have collected when our inventory becomes full. Thank you.
Hey do you know do you know what would be great or multiplayer just think about it surviving together as a team please add this we would give it five stars already dead but Ill give us more five Please have this game creators please listen to us please.
Awesome but why do you need to for stuff.
