Rating: 6/10
Verdict: A laid-back experience and a unique blend of elements from various genres, but could use more mechanical variety and depth.
Positives:
- One-of-a-kind experimental mixture of many genres like economy, base-building, exploration, logic/puzzle, RPG, and automation
- The pixel art and some of the characters are charming and wholesome
- Many borrowed elements are very shallow and get repetitive quickly and uninteresting as a result
- Exploration can feel a bit tedious, due to what I believe to be poor design choices. Example: when running into a storm, it's frustrating to watch the ship icon slowly making progress on the map. I think a better approach would be temporarily increasing the fuel consumption rate while maintaining the same speed the icon is moving at.
