D.R.I.F.T.

Not a bad little game from an indy dev! UI took a little getting used to but is pretty streamlined. Not quite an idle game as you have to actively play while on a mission as they are timed. But, very chill none the less. Only a few hours in but it is holding my attention.

Is a small indie space game that’s easy to get into. You jump between systems doing missions like cargo, rescue, mining and exploration. It starts simple, but after a few hours you end up thinking more about routes, mission timing and how to manage your ship. UI takes a bit to get used to, but once it clicks the game is pretty chill and keeps pulling you back for “one more run”. Not a huge space sim, but it doesn’t try to be. Solid little game if you like mission-based gameplay and a slower pace.

The good: Runs great on linux, very relaxing soundtrack, and a clean, intuitive UI. Didn't expect it, but after a while playing it, really pulled me in, especially funny how it turned someone who usually plays shooters and racing games into doing cargo runs. The not so good: Space can feel a bit empty sometimes, auto-nav is a little hit-or-miss, and a few UI readability tweaks would help. Still, it's a chill, engaging and interesting space sim with solid foundations and plenty of potential. Keep the good work!
