How it feels

A laid-back colony sim that you can watch grow while you focus on other tasks.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, peaceful clicker that works well as a background game on a desktop. Many wish for an auto-mining upgrade and more planets before the endgame, and reviews consistently say the full price is too high for the amount of content.
