CellSar

Okay so let's start with the positive, the game runs... fine. The interface kinda reminds me of a famous sandbox crafting game which shall not be named here, and the intricate systems you could build, so I can see the potential of building something crazy out of this game with all the movable parts and such. That being said, being in early access this thing is for sure filled with problems. Such as the help menu not showing in game. Also this game is in DESPERATE need of a tutorial, a step by step process to teach you how to utilize all the tools.

a bit laggy, buggy, and pretty unpolished. I was confused as to why there were so many "cells" that didn't seem to do anything and the UI was hard to use. When muscles were contracted they would sometimes outright destroy themselves and the contraption they were apart of. And you could also just have an infinite amount of muscle cells as placing one places three which can then all be individually mined to produce three cells from one. lots of other issues - Confusing to navigate as if you go too far you get lost - UI is confusing as progress is tracked haphazardly (?) - So many unnamed cells with just numbers that seem fascinating but don't seem to do anything?? - Muscles and connective tissue seem to outright destroy things sometimes and sometimes the machines they make up - End goal is vague and ultimately hard to achieve due to this (Make a heart???) - No tutorials, I felt like I had to bang rocks together to learn - Very little is explained, Especially the fact that cells you use and place that are active and doing things slowly lose energy and you must "eat" fruit and pass this energy to them - Germs???? Epithelium?????? What do I do? I want to like this game so much, the fu…

Nano bots should celebrate this game as one of the first for them when they gained their own intelligence and independence in Year 2142 :) The idea and background story is simple but impressive; the game at its core is quite playable and fun. With its Early Access state, apparently there's room to improve still, e.g. more visual aid and probably an interactive tutorial. By the way, one nice bonus is it plays perfectly on Steam Deck without any customization.
