Your goals is to explore the asteroids that surround your ship and collect the various resources that they have to offer. You will often have to combine resources, as well as transfer resources from one comet to another, since not all comets will be able to provide everything that you need in one place.
The biggest challenge you will face is the puzzle element the game offers. That is managing all the tubes connecting the various buildings you must place. Luckily, re-configuring your set up is as easy as recollecting a building and then placing it back down at no additional cost.
The game does not punish the player for wanting to come up with a fresh start if necessary. It encourages you to either strategise and overcome obstacles by discovering new paths and utilising tools such as tube splitters, or recalibrating your approach by starting over. The way you play the game is entirely up to you!
there is the concern of the game getting repetitive, and with no "real" challenge or threat of losing, some might find the lack of challenge a big deciding factor. To those people I would suggest checking out the demo and seeing for themselves if this game is up their alley.
In sum, if you like the idea of cosy resource managers with puzzle elements in them, a charming story, a vivid environment and an INCREDIBLE soundtrack, this game might just be for you.
