Jitter

Oh dear... I just can't recommend this with its current trajectory. Very misleading trailer, and you won't realise it until it's too late to refund. You will not experience anything shown in that video. Until 2027 at least, this is a "I'll support the dev" purchase, not a "let's enjoy the alpha" purchase. Other reviews have called it a tech demo, and I didn't take them seriously. Tech demo is very accurate to what's offered here. Perhaps the trailer does represent what the devs are aiming for long-term, but the bizarre choice to separate the game into chapters tells me they're confused about what they're trying to achieve. The declining quality of the chapters also doesn't fill me with confidence that the evolving direction will ultimately lead to an enjoyable game. The prologue (available in the demo) felt well-crafted. However, episode 1 is a tedious and frustrating chore, ending with a depressing void of anything to do. The 'story' will have you backtracking multiple times; most of your time will be spent navigating a barren network of caves. Once you do complete the several tasks it lays out for you, you're free to explore as you wish. I explored. And I found nothing else …

Fantastic game, not sure why it has only 160 reviews. Feels under rated! It has a ton of space to grow. It's very slow and interesting! Worth every galactic credit coin

Jitter has amazing ideas for a space game and look foward to playing it more However, currently there isn't really any replayability, the game has a story (with only 2 chapters at the time of writing). You play through the story once, mess around in the sandbox a bit then probably won't touch it again until more of the story comes out. I also struggled with controlling the AI and humans on and off the ship, it all seems quite buggy. A fun idea might be having a rogue like or a run style element to the game, where you fight off waves of enemies, and getting better weapons or ship parts, to either score the highest possible or to reach a final boss. In other words very promissing future, but early access is early access, I look forward to more updates!

Enjoyable and promising. Did have crash issues going into the Prologue - idk if I just had a bad save or what. Also, ship sections that have size synergy and line up at multiple connecting points will NOT do so. That's not a great sign. I'm very torn here: Really love the mechanics and gameplay, but I had to abandon it for now because of crashes and the part sizes that seem impossible to create something manageable. I'll be checking back for sure down the road.

It's got a good foundation.

What an awesome game. Simple to start with, simple to learn, difficult to master. Calm, challenging.. Love it.
