An excellent sense of adventure through the use of great text descriptions, random encounters, and choices that never have you play the same game twice.
Resouce managment is key along with a lot of luck! I feel in a sense this luck factor gives the game that feeling of danger of space travel. But also as game mechanics go, it can be quite fustrating as well cause ive been playing this game for over 3 months and still have never made it to the end! I have continuously run into bad luck with random encounters that drain my resouces, star systems that lack the planet resource i need, or just even on my best attempt, a star goes supernova and destroys my shop.
For the game creators i suggest you might want to put in a difficulty setting? Its discouraging at times but i really enjoy the hame. I bet there are others who play this and would be giving up much earlier.
Great job overal!
