This update is awesome and I especially enjoy The Cell. Sadly I can't say the same about Space mode. The mode is fine gameplay-wise but feels unrewarding and demotivating currently. Progressing is extremely slow. I imagine that is the point considering the powerful permanent upgrades to gain, but the amounts and frequency at which you gain points make it hard to want to play it. Prior to writing this, I did 3 runs which lasted between 4-5 minutes each, and only gained 30 points. Comparing that to the final upgrade needing 8300 is demoralizing especially considering this mode has a buy-in to play it.

I think the asteroids dropping some amount of points when broken will go a long way towards feeling like you are still progressing if your luck with Sana isn't great.

Otherwise, the game is great and it has been my favorite way to idle since you released it on mobile. I'm glad you are continuing to update it after so long!

Thank you for playing and for the feedback!

I agree that currently Space mode is very luck based and not much progress is felt if the player has a bad rng. I think your idea of having asteroids drop points could help. Maybe every X asteroids you get 1 point. I'll do some testing and see what number I come with.

The high cost of the final upgrade is because these are supposed to be "end game" upgrades and should take a relatively long time and multiple play sessions to obtain them. On the other hand, the first couple of upgrades are much cheaper to allow more players to access them (relatively) quickly. I think in my tests I unlocked the first one in less than 2 hours of "spacing".

I've seen a player already unlock the 3rd upgrade and it's been less than a week since the update dropped, so I guess they play Space a lot more and/or are luckier with their wheel spins. XD
