Review:
Wauw, this game was quite the fun!

First off, this game reminds me so much of Subnautica, from which I suspect you have taken just a little bit of inspiration ;)

I really like the idea, I never really though a game of this genre and type would work so well on Mars! Now, of course this is not yet perfect, but as stated, it is an Alpha Version, and I can not wait to see the progress over the next year!

How come you only have a year to further develop this though? This has some much potential, you should really keep it up even after that, perhaps even propose this idea to the creators of Subnautica and see if you could be involved in commercial project with this concept! It could be called Astronautica or Cosmonautica haha.

Jokes aside, you would have nothing to lose by trying this, and I really think there might just be a chance that this would work. Develop this game as you whish over the next year, and you will have a great proof of concept and even blueprint for when presenting it, if you actually choose to take this path.

Now, back to the concrete game. The music was nice, but a bit repetitive as of now. The gameplay was simple, but fun! The graphics are good for an early alpha, and I am surprised how many assets the game already contain. The resources models could use a little tweaking. The Sizes make them seem almost "cartoony" so to speak. And of course some of the attest do not yet have a function.

I did give it a while, but did not see any actual change in the environment with the terraforming, I assume this feature is not yet in the game, is that correct? I would really like to see that implemented! :D

I know this is just an early version, but in the full release I would like to see more incentive to build a base, other than just doing it for fun. I know I have to stop with the Subnautica comparison, but when playing that game, I never got to really build a cool and fleshed out base, as it was not really required to complete the game.

So to conclude, this game was great for an Alpha, and I do not doubt that it will be even better ones the future updates release! I will be looking forward to this! 5/5 star from me, from what I have seen so far! Keep up the good work!
