## Review summary

User reviews largely point to bugs and crashes that break core gameplay—upgrading, building, anomaly exploration, and resource gathering can freeze or fail. Several accounts also report updates wiping progress or removing save capability, forcing players to restart. Resource management bugs create frustrating loops, making it hard to balance or reach key resources. Despite these issues, the game’s concept and visuals are praised, and it can be enjoyable when running smoothly, indicating strong potential if the bugs are fixed.

### Pros

- Strong concept and appealing visuals/look.
- When functioning, the gameplay is fun and enjoyable.
- The game shows potential to be amazing with fixes and proper playability.

### Cons

- Persistent bugs/crashes that make the game unplayable or disrupt core features (upgrading/building, exploration, resource gathering).
- Updates can wipe progress or there is no save feature, forcing players to restart.
- Resource management and progression bugs create frustrating loops and prevent reaching essential resources.
