To my surprise i found this game very enjoyable and it kept me invested for quite some time.
The visuals are charming and the music is nice and chill.
The game could use some sort of a tutorial though. It's a bit confusing as to what is what at the begining.
A surprise pick for me, I enjoyed this oh so far more than I expected!
Just when I think I kinda get the system I start gambling too high and now I'm in danger of not living the next week! It got really tense sometimes. I think there could be more work on the presentation but the game design is on point 👌
I loved the art and music for the game. I was a little confused on how trading worked and what I needed to survive, but once I understood the depletion of resources I had a lot of fun! I felt the description in my soul lol
Really good job on the artwork.
The game itself is interesting, but I feel like some of the UI could have been clearer. In particular, it wasn't inherently obvious what items were in demand. Also, I think the concept could be expanded by items other than food, water, and O2 being needed for occasional events (like needing titanium to repair the station), since then each trade would have more of an impact.
i agree for the UI
