✦ AI summary
Players appreciate Cloud Dwellers' cute art style and forgiving colony sim mechanics compared to similar games, but the title suffers from significant quality-of-life issues that make it tedious to play. The main complaints center on excessive micromanagement, lack of basic features like resource caps and priority systems, slow gameplay speed, and bugs that can break saves and force restarts. While some players note the developer is responsive and friendly on Discord, most agree the game needs substantial polish and feature additions before it becomes genuinely enjoyable.
I had to uninstall the game because I kept trying to figure out how to enjoy this game... This needs a lot of QoL for it to be fun. Right now there is way too much micromanaging required. I don't want to have to keep starting and stopping collection or filtering storage, which causes problems of it's own. At a minimum there needs to be a way to cap the amount of resources gathered/produced. I want to say more but I'm too disabled, my brain is broken...5 found this helpful
Don't , Don't try this , it'll just waste ur money . NO MORE UPDATE VERSION ,while BUGs still there2 found this helpful
At this stage, i cannot recommend the game, there is a bug where character's will randomly stop working and moving and then their hunger will go down and they will not move. The advice i received from their discord is to restart which i did and it still was happening. Once this is patched i am open to changing my reivew. EDITED on 17/05/2026: Changing my review to a positive review, the devs are very friendly over on discord and have been able to resolve the issue and patched it. The person i spoke to on their discord is super friendly and lovely, and are open to feedback.2 found this helpful
I kept trying to figure out how to enjoy this game... This needs a lot of QoL for it to be fun. Right now there is waay too much micromanaging required. It need ALOT of basic stuff to even come close to games like Oxygen Not Included.. alot No speed up... everything is SLOOwww The lack of basic prio system, og craft amount. And on top of that, Dubs pathing can break, and can't be fixed with load/save.. Breaking the game and forcing a reload after hours. Sure they will be fixed at one point...but right now... not fun1 found this helpful
You know, I went to college and got an art history minor. I have a major in art. In all my years of understanding color theory, I can not for the life of me figure out WHY on earth the green crystal beam doesn't seperate into yellow and blue with the glimmer seperator station. Almost as baffling is the color combiner's color combo's which seem to also defy basic color theory you could probably just google or something to get an explanation of. Also, this game needs to make it so once you build a storage unit of any sort that it is set to 'off' so everyone doesn't fill it with random garbage. I've heard others complain about it too. You almost need to make a seperate storage unit for every item in the game and spend hours sorting things. it would also be nice to permanetly remove some of the floating resource islands as they get in the way sometimes but I can be a little more forgiving of this since you could break the game if not careful. the game has some potential other than the pet peeves I have but at the end of the day, games like Oxygen Not Included have more depth and even Ratopia, for its flaws, is better thought out. It's early access so I can see them makin…
This is a very early access title, don't buy if you're expecting a polished game. It needs a whole lot of QOL work first and foremost. The ideas are good and it is fun for a few hours. I really like the art style.
