Wish it worked
I just had to get a refund for this. I was looking forward to the day I finally buy it. I love space exploration and I love pixelly platformers. Naturally this game sounded perfect to me. But then, I installed it and immediately after starting it for the first time I was subject to unjustifiable slowdowns even on the main menu before I made my character. I quit the game, searched high and low for pointers on improving the performance. Disabling vsync via editing a config helped abit, as did decreasing the resolution drastically and disabling coloured lighting; the game felt playable finally. But not long after acquiring the first important item, I was subject to the game slowing down like nothing was fixed to begin with. This shouldn't happen when my computer exceeds the recommended specs. So I read further about this (with more than a few separate search results this game's issue with performance seems to be a pretty common problem) and came to two possible interesting yet shitty conclusions: -the game was initially developed on linux and it apparently works perfectly on that operating system but I have to find more reasons than playing one game before I invest into it (as much as Windows 10 sucks in every conceivable way apart from familiarity) and: -the 64-bit executable has issues with memory leaks which causes these slowdowns. Apparently the 32-bit version doesn't have this issue and works much better, but I can't confirm that myself when it doesn't seem to be readily available. All I can find is gog exclusively installing the 64-bit version. No evidence of 32-bit anywhere. It isn't even an option as a separate offline install; just the installer itself and old patches to be found. This game looks amazing, but until the devs address these issues properly I'll put my money elsewhere.
