I find the game very hard to put down once you start. Some say it's too confusing without a tutorial, I had no problem figuring it out, it's half the fun actually. The little people that make up your crew have the most unique personalities. I had a character in one game that just made me laugh the whole time. He was accident prone, set fires as he worked sometimes, but he did not work very hard compared to his shipmates. He would stay up late at night and eat two meals instead of one. The crew members have relations with each other. In one game two of my best hated each other, eventually a fight broke out, a real bloody brawl. That was a very promising game as I had made good progress but I ended up losing that one when a fire destroyed practically everything. I now know to open the airlock before the fire consumes the whole ship. So you may have to do a couple of run thru's before you figure out everything. And anything can happen. I lost my shuttle more than once. A pirate ship and a friendly jumped in, I was too weak to fight so I payed. When my shuttle went over to the pirate ship with my payment the friendly ship boarded the pirate ship and killed them all. The pirate ship became a derelict, but my shuttle was stuck over there and I had no way to retrieve it, game over. I also lost the shuttle trying to jump before the pirate ship jumped in, but the damm shuttle would not stay in its bay. Its supposed to lock when you prepare to jump, so that may be a bug. So the game is still in development, I've seen some good updates since I bought it, but it is already very playable and fun as it stands now. Oh, and I had almost forgotten how good pixel art can look. The art style is very nice in this one.
