I wasn’t really looking for a new game, just browsing around and ended up trying this out of curiosity. It’s a space MMO that runs in the browser, but what caught me off guard is how movement works. Instead of the usual “point and go,” you actually have to think about how your ship accelerates and moves over time and plan movement according to current orbital paths / locations. Took a bit before i got used to it, but once it did it felt pretty rewarding.
The 1:1 scale of the solar system also feels different since everything is based on real distances. Traveling actually takes planning instead of just clicking somewhere and instantly arriving.
It’s still in Alpha testing and the mobile version is a little clunky with some hiccups here and there. But it doesn’t feel like a throwaway browser game either. There’s deffo something more going on under the hood.
Not sure if this kind of realism is something people stick with long-term, but it’s a pretty different experience compared to most space games I’ve tried.
I was today years old when i learned what that word meant. Also is it astroturfing when i do like this game, am not a paid sponsor, and want more people to join so it becomes something bigger and better?
Well thanks for teaching me about something I otherwise did not know was a thing. I can see why i looks like that, again not affiliated with them in any way. I just found the game fun with a lot of potential and figured I’d share 🤷♀️.
You seem nice and all, but when you accept a reward for the post, it discredits everything you say.
The game could even be good, but it became dead to me before I even visited the site. Rewarding players for positive social media posts or reviews is just not okay.

Thank you for coming clean, but astroturfing is not cool.

If the game is rewarding you for this, it’s an astroturfing campaign.
