Cute game, maybe a little expensive ... for what it currently is but still worth the collection. I recommend it but only when its on special. ♥

Thanks for playing. I enjoyed playing it twice, opened all kinds of buildings and built a big floating city) It's a pleasure to pass time with it, and it's quite easy and fast. For a couple of weekends you can easily try all the features of the game. Also the game has nice graphics and gameplay. Thank you for continuing to refine it. It would be cool to add some dangers to the game. The game description states that there are predatory sea creatures in the game, but I didn't encounter any. There is a whale swimming around, but it's safe. For example, you could add different predators on land, in the air and in the water and the ability to create and pump different tools and weapons to counter them. Also, I would love to play through the story campaign in this game if there was one. I'm waiting for the full version to come out already. Thanks for an enjoyable game!)

Great game. Getting improved constantly. If you like city-builders management like Frostpunk, but less punishing and more wholesome, it's for you. It also has a Rimworld-like feel to it, because of the inhabitants having traits that makes them better at some tasks and worst at others, so you have to "know" them to use them appropriately.

I love the game! HOWEVER, I built a good size town, then it wouldn't let me build anything else. Apparently there is a maximum size for town, at least for now. Unfortunately, I was nowhere near completing the technology tree, so the game is definitely incomplete.

I only discovered this game a couple days ago and didn't hesitate to buy it. Yes its still in early access but thats not bad, it leaves you excited for future updates... well it does to me anyway. Plus there's plenty to do ingame. Game wise I've just done a 7 hour straight session and only came off cause I can't keep my eyes open any longer! I'm off to bed, but you bet I'll be straight back on in the morning
