I feel like I need cybernetic eyes to read text with the resolution this game runs at. What the hell? Also it plays at 22 fps capped and there's literally no premise to the game. You just generate a universe and bam. Figure it out.

This game doesn't even feel like a pc game. Whether it was one or not it feels like a terrible pc port form a mobile game. It is missing basically all options including not having a full screen mode, or key bindings, it runs like dirt, and it looks terrible. I wish i had refunded this when i first bought it but i was hoping they would do updates to make the game more a pc game and not look and run like a mobile port. I cannot Not recommend this enough.
