Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.43/day in the week to Sep 3 → 1.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

it is so fun
I was surprised to see so many negative reviews. Yes the game gets pretty grindy after around 3 hours, but man is it a cool ride. The art and music are top notch, and I had a lot of fun seeing what was next. I think I paid like 2 bucks for this game on sale, and I was very happy with it for that price. I really like small games like this for cheap and I bet you will too
Cool game but i feel it could have been a bit more polished.

it's unbalanced and kinda buggy, overall not recommended there are better versions of this type of game. If you've played those types of game before then sure if you've got nothing else to scratch that itch but that's about it, that's also why i played this even when i didn't like the progression or the bugs. Also didn't like that you are forced to prestige to unlock harvesting of next tiers no idea why it's there.
As I expected, it is a simple relaxation game, but the relaxation phase is only at the beginning (when you are managing only a few planets). At some point it's just a waiting game, which you let run in the background and wait to reach some goal. Overall it's a mediocre game, not good or bad. It's cheap, and that's good.
не интересно, я думал появится масштабность происходящего.
Short, sweet. If you like Idle, I'd say $5. I mean you can pay more, but honestly if they want more than $5 they can add more to the game. This feels like they could have added a few more layers and maybe something other than just clicking. It ends to fast for a $6.49 game. Honestly, it feels like this and games like it are all made by one company overseas, and they have a bunch of shell/temp Developers/Publishers and each one is designed to last just long enough to get past the 2 hour refund window.
a fun, quick play through which changes up mechanics to keep the grind unique
Fairly short idle game nothing too special, seeing everything moving around in space is pretty good tho. Overall would recommend if you wanna pick up a cheap and short experience.
good game
