absolutely adorable and super fun. very early but im def looking forward to future updates!
Great cozy game! I don't understand the critics about fishing, because it was one of my favorite parts of the game and it was pretty easy and not overly punishing, even when I missed some interactions. The game doesn't pressure you in any way, which is nice, so you can take time to do things and explore the maps at your own pace. If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be more mine levels and more challenge in those, like adding creatures, traps or obstacles to make it more engaging. Really good job for a student-made game !

This game is really fun but the fishing mini game is pretty much ruining the experience for me. Please at least give us an option to slow it down.
Very fun! Space themed explore and craft. Looking forward to future game updates if the developer decides to continue.
Hard to believe this is "just" a student made game! I hope that more comes out for it, as it really was a pleasure to play. Getting to explore and upgrade things was a lot of fun for me.
I enjoy the game concept from 2 games into one. A few issues Movements, field of view and item drop ratio needs work. Great job! I hope you got a good score for you final!
Very cute game. Relaxing music, cute small characters. Suitable for kids? because there is no violence. But there are no any tips and hints, so that's not easy to understand what to do. Dear developers, hopefully you'll implement kinda manual for newbies.
Игрушка пока что сырая, настроек пока что нету Очень жду пока выйдет полная версия Задумка отличная
Its a student project or something but its not bad at all I have seen worse . If the dev ever reads this, add basic options like volume.
