It’s not unlike an idle game in that the idea is to increase your resources and spread them as far as possible, but there’s no clear immediate incentive. Also, it’s lacking some feedback for certain actions - I got no visual confirmation that I was sending probes or miners, and I wasn’t able to interact much with some planets, despite sending stuff to them. Also, there doesn’t appear to be a Web Monetization bonus.</p>\n"},{"typ":2,"at":285628131,"author":"Noël Meudec","login":"Noel-FB","gh":71314518,"url":"https://facebook.com/instantgames","text":"<p>The beginning of the game was OK, it got me intrigued and I wanted to discover more.\nI reached the point where I could send probes to planets and colonize them. Unfortunately those actions don’t seem to do anything, so I am stuck on earth collecting resources. Not really the most fun.\nIs the game unfinished? Also, half of the graphic assets didn’t load on chrome, I had to play on my Android phone to get it to work properly.\nOverall, what I saw of the game felt more like a tutorial than a complete game (maybe I got a bug or something?). It looked promising, so I hope it gets fixed (or finished) some day.</p>\n"},{"typ":2,"at":285714501,"author":"Ewa Mazur","login":"mypoint13k","gh":89944062,"url":"https://mypoint.pl","twitter":"mypoint13k","text":"<p>Nice extensive game, nice transitions, but I can’t see any bonuses for Coil subscribers…</p>\n"}]}
