    I'd say this is closer to a tech demo than even an early access game. There is almost nothing in the game right now besides the bones, which look like they've been pulled directly from RimWorld. I think there is a chance that this could be a game that's a fun alternative to RimWorld down the line, but that line looks to be a year or more long at least. If you like RimWorld, I'd suggest keeping an eye on this and checking back in a year or so to see what kind of state the game is in, but I…

    Very disappointing in it's current state. A bitter reminder that Rimworld was an absolute gem and better in every way. No research, hardly anything happens, silly enemies are near impossible to beat, no way to make fuel other than waiting hours for some ship that might pass by that is willing to trade some. Read the discussion page before buying. I should have. Extremely overpriced, there are far better proper finished games out there for a lot less that are fun.

    Seems quite fun at first, like Rimworld in space. But the beginning is quite a bit of a struggle (even on easy), which can ruin it a bit, it becomes so frustrating when you spend an hour on your ship to then run out of power cells, and you just become stranded. I would recommend this game as it looks like it has great potential, but I think I will leave the game for now and pick it up after some more updates.

    Really looking forward to seeing how this game develops! It has potential to be so much more than just RimWorld in space and the solo dev is clearly experienced and put a LOT of thought and care into it.

    Didn't realise this was so early in it's development, if I had I wouldn't have bought it yet. What's there has potential but there's a LOT missing - more missing than you normally see in an EA game. I thought I just needed to do some random encounters or something to unlock tech, etc, but as far as I can tell, you've got everything you're going to get right at the start... I'll check it again in a few months - hopefully the dev sticks around and builds on what they've got. TLDR:…

    Good idea, but at the moment, the game takes too long to even get anywhere. Mechanics on how to do things are not very well explained, and ther is no real progression that I have seen (such as research). There needs to be a bit more time for this game to cook, as in the state it is in, the pricetag is too high for what it is... Which is a minimum viable product, with minimum content.

    💫 2D Planet generator I am making for @produno.bsky.social's game SpaceSlog in #Godot! These #shaders use a lot of hacky math and a lot of color gradients to render authentic and art-directable ocean, jungle and magma planets. #gamedev #techart ⚠️As it is contract work, this image is not copyleft!⚠️

    Ok, First thing first I will say that it is in need of more content. With that said, the developer has shown that he is actively been adding to the game every few weeks give or take with updates. Also he responds very quickly with issues and answers his player base. This holds weight with me. I believe that this will be a great game in time. I have no issue with buying the game with the understanding that the game developer is working on it and he needs to take care of his expanses as well.…

    Has potential, but the content just isn't here yet to justify the $22+ price tag. It is a very early alpha. Having it on Steam right now is more about helping the dev out with developing the game much more so than it is having an enjoyable playing experience. That's fine as long as the consumer knows what they are getting into. There's no researching, so you don't get new tech or things to build. There's no moving of placed items (you have to deconstruct and reconstruct). There's a…

    Ugly Rimworld clone with buggy tutorials and UI. Whomever dev'd this has no originality, and he does so many awkward things. Like you choose your starter traits? And because you're frugal, or maybe wasteful, this determines your starter resources... but wait, you're supposed to be on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ escape pod?! The hell kind of sense does that make?? Tutorial says 'open the menu by clicking the button or F#' - okay, I use the keyboard shortcut. Nothing happens. Have to click, but the menu's…

    This is very early access and has very little functionality. Building and resource gathering are very long and travel between systems are long uneventful, and when you find a new place, there is not much there to do. Food is always an issue.

    I really tried to like this one since it's right up my alley, but in its current state it's only barely playable. Even then it's only with some very generous save scumming to navigate the RNG events.

    3 hours on steam, 10 hours on ITCH.io. Game is a solid foundation right now Produno is working hard at implementing new things into the game and fixing any of the bugs we run across. Tip for those who start off the game without watching anyone. Dont immediately build your generator if you are running solo. Get some resources then proceed and grab a few solar panels :D. Can't wait for the new stuff to come Produno <3

    Edit: After a couple not so successful runs - I would start with "Resourcefulness" for now. I think the start is pretty challenging, and you want to give yourself every opportunity for success. While not required, engineering 6 also lets you deal with basic needs. Heat is an issue near stars, so make sure you have vents. Overall, definitely Rimworld in space, I would echo in another six months there should be enough content to really flesh out your ship (though it looks like the workshop…

    This game is Early Access, but it has a LOT of potential to reach the popularity of the giants in the genre. This is Rimworld in space and the inspiration it takes from that and other popular IP's is very evident. Just be aware Spaceslog is still in it's infancy. Looking forward to it's ongoing development.

    A great little colony sim, very reminiscent of Starship Theory but deeper and grittier. Whilst it shares the same 2D top-down style as RimWorld (who borrowed it from Prison Architect), it's not RimWorld and has a deeper simulation of air pressure, and space flight - things RimWorld can't pretend to do even with the Odyssey DLC. This is the advantage of a dedicated space sim over a mod. If you're coming from RimWorld, have a little patience to learn how to do things over again, then you'll…

    This game has potential and the author is very responsive and open to hearing what you have to say and take suggestions. As of right now, there is'nt to much in the game, and is insanly slow paced but still enjoyable. I've come over some weird issues here and there, but that's to be expected in a early access game. I think this in the end will become a very playable game and replayable.

    A promising attempt to cross Starship Theory with Rimworld, but it is at a level of a technical demo. Tedious, poorly explained, counter intuitive, tutorial railroads you too much. Issues: - Characters: a single scratch appears to bleed indefinetely; Depending on a start, yours is a single character on the map with a private bedroom yet apparently character lacks privacy; Food/water/sleep stats drain extremely fast. - Ships: rosources get consumed even when they are not needed (generator's…

    The first time ever that a game has lost me at character/crew generation. There are almost no options. Reroll does not work on captain, and despite what author replied to one of the other reviews, captain's stats are absolutely arbitrary and in no way depend on previous selections. At the very least effect is so minor that it is unnoticeable. This makes the "captain" who is supposed to be the main pawn have random/ arbitrary stats, just be harder to reroll. And yeah, skills. Some skills are…

    A very challenging game. I died several times before I learned how to play. You have to constantly keep an eye on your oxygen and fuel levels, and sometimes it's difficult to defeat the Spaceworms. I bought a chicken so I could eat the eggs, but the chicken ate them before I did. ;) It's a fun game, and I'm looking forward to future updates.

    Wholeheartedly recommend to play this game. Let me quickly address a more practical matter given some negative feedback on Steam, so people understand why they will miss out if they liste n to what others have written; Many negative reviews say that the game is not ready to exit early access yet, and I do in part agree with that. The game is a bit unbalanced at times, the AI is not great at decisions making and a few bugs still exist, so a couple more months would have been great. But damn,…

    I am gonna start this off by saying this game has a lot of heart and passion to it. Looking through the developer's old updates for working on this game since 2021 shows there is a lot of intention for this to be a great experience. I had been heavily disappointed by how starship theory had turned out especially with how much promise it had before it was left abandoned; So seeing this game providing a similar experienced piqued my interest. However, the game as it stands now is clunky. The…

    Don't buy it right now. Emphasis on Slog. This game is slow, very slow. Your crew spends more time sleeping than doing anything else. I had to literally delete the beds so they would go do something instead of trying to sleep off minor bruises. Getting attacked by a space worm every 10 minutes isn't fun, because it just means I'll have to consume a medpack and do some more waiting for them to heal. The ship building is very cool, though. Most of this game is almost identical to Rim World,…
