Comet Tycoon

Unfortunately I can't recommend Comet Tycoon as of right now (v1.3). There's definitely the base/shell of a good game here, but it's overshadowed by bugs, missing explanations, and a fairly small amount of content. It seems like I've encountered most of the content in <2.5h of playtime (~0.5h of which were spent restarting on a larger comet, after already producing everything on a medium-sized one), which is far too little for the price of 11.79€. Issues/bugs I've encountered: - workers sometimes stop moving & stay frozen forever, breaking automation - saving & loading resets some things (one time most of my buildings lost their workers, and the shop surplus settings are completely reset) - all buildings except power plants say "drones at maximum capacity" while 0 drones are assigned And maybe I missed it, but there seems to be no explanation for what causes reputation to increase/decrease. At some point, I just started getting a bunch of money on the first comet (once the bar went golden), at which point I could afford pretty much everything. I hope to try the game again after a few more updates, and hopefully with more content added. Again, there's a good base here!

Can't recommend at this moment. It feels like it's on alpha stage, there's a lot of work required to bring this to a beta. I can't find anywhere whether this is an EA or not, but it should be, as to me, it feels unfinished. Will change my review if the dev tackles all the issues provided by many players.

A charming labour of love by a solo developer. A nostalgic remembrance of tycoon games of old that scratches a retro itch. Doesn't quite hold your hand making the early game somewhat difficult, it's easy to misstep in the rush to get supply chains up and running for essential necessities. You may starve before you've even thought to buy a monocle. Mid game onwards is a comfortable settling in to the real objective of tycoonery. It's a short experience and a little rough around the edges. But full of detail and charm. A hopeful start to this developers game dev career.

Great fun! Capitalism in the name of finding your cat! Lots of improvements since the demo. Good pacing of unlocks, upgrades and research keeps you invested.

Comet Tycoon is kind of game for me with big nostalgia attached to it. I enjoy the graphics, music fits the vibe and the game play is easy and engaging fun. I am sure it is not for everyone to go for cometary business development, but if you are in any kind of doubt, wonder no more. Demo is there for you. Game is nice and easy to play. Give it try!

I love this game! Very chill and cozy! Love the art style and the music is a vibe!
