Planet Harvester: Incremental Odyssey

[h3] Fun Game, Frustrating Design Choices [/h3] Planet Harvester is a fun little game with driving, resource gathering, anomalies, plenty of skills to unlock, additional planets and a decent selection of achievements. Once I pushed past my initial frustration, I found myself really enjoying it. Unfortunately, the opening didn't help. Being thrown into a short run and then repeatedly having to stop and press start feels unnecessarily restrictive. I want to get into the game and play, not constantly stop to read screens and restart. My biggest issue, however, is the [b]selling system.[/b] If there's a "Sell All" button, I expect it to sell everything. Instead, resources are sold one at a time with delays between each transaction. By the second map, when you're dealing with hundreds of items, this becomes painfully slow. Yes, there are upgrades to improve the speed, but watching 900+ lollipops, doughnuts, trees and other resources sell individually isn't gameplay, it's... stagnation trying to force longevity That's a real shame because the game itself is genuinely enjoyable and there's enough progression and content here to keep me coming back. I'd love to see the developer revisit these systems, particularly the selling mechanic. Respect the player's time, streamline the progression and this could be a much better experience. Fun game, but some frustrating design choices hold it back.

Cool

Nice game with cozy soundtrack and cool visuals. I'm enjoying it, however I have a few issues to address: [hr][/hr] Content below might contain spoilers, read at your own risk [hr][/hr] - I don't understand why the Obelisk was given a special treatment of being the first (by far the only) resource to have a special breaking condition. It's nice to have some variety, but I can't see the reason why this particular and not any other. It just feels weird [i]edit: pearls? kinda?[/i] - upgrades are balanced in such a way that it kills the pacing of the game. I felt like it goes from "I can't do ♥♥♥♥" to "I'm basically a god" way too suddenly. Yes, they have accordingly high costs, but for me personally it would feel better having more levels with lesser values, so the progression feels more smooth. - anomalies are a cool concept, but I feel like they are too uncommon. Maybe some updgrade, that points to the nearby anomaly within X amount of range? - carrier drones are either too much or not enough most of the time. You're either running full when the storage points are too far away and you're losing out on resources on your way there, or they constantly empty you if it is close. On the similar topic, placing of the storage points is [b] too random [/b]. It would be nice if there was a minimal distance between the two, because having one basically next to another is pointless - last and definitely [b]NOT[/b] least, selling speed. I sure hope I'm wrong, but it feels like it is so slow only to fake boost the playtime. I don't think anyone would complain if it was close to an instant.

Eines der Besten Inkrementell Spiele auf Steam <3
