So happy to be able to buy the game here!
I followed the game on Steam.
But GOG is always better :)

Wish listed!. Look's just my kind of game. :)

I see no giant harpoons to grab other flying cities? No City to City combat?

Hm, looks interesting at first glance. But how hard is it? How difficult? I prefer more relaxed city builders, like Tropico 4 and Surviving Mars.

Looks nice! A bit of James Bliss at a certain point would be cool too!!

Damn, Steam doesn`t show any reviews anymore. Wanted to check the reviews there, but nope, no single review is shown anymore, for no game at all.
Yesterday it worked fine, today it seems either to be broken, or they removed the abillity to see reviews for people who aren`t logged in.

low rated
Me again...a bit disappointed...
Tutorial is mandatory and I asked to dev if an update could add an option to skip It...nope...
Dev said It's fundamental to understand how to play.
Asked for a refund ^^
It's how I choose my games now...Skip Tutorial Option or Goodbye!

Edit:I asked on Steam and some users are agreeing with me...skip Tutorial is a plus ^^

Well, if you don`t wanna know how to play the game...
Or do you mean, that the tutorial must be played every dang time, you start agame? Than it`s clearly not a good design choice.

Seems to be a Steam Issue!

Yep...the tutorial is a buggy mess...I cannot skip It.
I try to start another game with another slot...always the bugged tutorial needed.
As for understanding mechanics used already in a thousand of games...I KNOW THEM!

Plus...the building part is very directive...you need to build where you are asked to build.
Surviving Mars is more fun...
I'm not sure if It's a "true" building game like Sim City in space or a Puzzle game with buildings in space?

Yes! The James Blish 'Cities in Flight' series was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this.

I don't see spindizzys or official references but the story and gravity gen-shield combo/'city torn off the Earths surface and taking flight' are almost too close to the books to be coincidence, even in this day and age.

I was hoping it will be like floating buildings like in Bioshock Infinite early built. This is pretty much just like normal city building with very limited land.

Oh, it just looks like a worse version of Fragile Allegiance but the dev/pub couldn't be bothered to show the game interface.

Protip: I don't care about watching some vehicle fly down your virtual highway, I care about the gamefeel.
