Farlanders Prologue

The game looks comfy but that's only on the surface. I went through a couple of frustrating moments where it felt like the colonist influx was designed to completely throw you out of balance, forcing you to fiddle with resource production in a desperate effort to keep going. Rightly so, you always need to be a couple of steps ahead of what's coming, and I only got the hang of it after retrying the third mission, but that's the idea. I enjoy the emerging puzzle that terraforming kits produce and the fact that you can store them leaves more room for choice if you're patient enough. Farlanders seems to work on a solid concept. The only thing that worries me is the reduced number of different buildings -- which is fine for the first three missions -- but I suspect the only new additions would be specific terraforming facilities to compensate for the kit randomness and to diversify your option pool. My serious gripe though is with the code optimization. Running Farlanders makes my laptop fans spin as if on KSP, which isn't a good sign. I want to enjoy the pleasant sounds instead of feeling like I'm in the server room.

This game is a simple yet challanching puzzle game. You build a mars outpost by placing buildings on the map. However, the autogenerated map had different tiles like canyons, water, ice, minerals, sand, etc. Placing buildings can be challanching as you can only build on firm sand. Every x turn you'll get to terraform the landscape (ofc in a puzzeling way). And grow your population. (This is; if you have enough food, water and power). However, the game feels a bit buggy from time to time. I have issues with zooming in/out. And after I failed a missions I had to restart from scratch for some reason. If you like challances and puzzle games; give this game a spin!

I've replayed the 3rd stage several times, can't wait for the full release!

Interactive demonstration software -- demo -- is too vague... people don't know what this means or what to expect. We need a new word to encapsulate the concept of it. A new vibe because suckers who play videogames are illiterate goldfish. Let's call this a preface! How about a proto-epic? Why not a warm-up? Oh, a tuning! Yes, let's call it a preamble. So freaking pretentious.

Game is OK, the ability to move and adjust the view is sorely lacking making it impossible to use some areas of the map. Also the map generation is a bit 'wonky' in that it makes some maps that are just not playable at all.
