This game had so much potential. Still a broken mess with random crashes.2 found this helpful
i completely forgot to review this game when i first played it years ago, but its amazing. and hopefully if we manage to get the remaining Dev some funding, it could be improved and maybe even added to!2 found this helpful
I couldn´t even build something in the Tutorial. Spent about 1 hour trying to fit the first peice into place. Thought that for 9 € on sale it might be something. I suspect it was a waste of money.2 found this helpful
I love the concept, I love the feel... they almost had it. The problem is, it's got the Bohemia Bugginess. There are a lot of decisions they made that are very questionable, such as the fact that canisters don't snap in place when you load them, they remain fully simulated and the physics sim will ruin you at times when it freaks out. It's just a lot of annoyances that through no fault of your own, things just blow up in your face.1 found this helpful
Old but Gold. Still some crashes. But a good a game and good mechanics.
