How it feels
A methodical strategy game where you carefully balance city layout and defenses on small, isolated planets while a constant low-level threat looms.

What players say
Players find this a charming if difficult colony builder where you manage a small population, called peabs, and fend off space trolls. Reviews praise the satisfying supply chains and the goal of colonizing new planets, but note bugs, a steep difficulty curve, and a sense that progression is still being fleshed out.
