Space Drilling Station

Space Drilling Station is a fun sci-fi themed mining tycoon/management game. You manage a space drilling rig on an exoplanet. Thematically it's vaguely similar to the old Moon Tycoon game, albeit the gameplay scope is very different and in a sense much more fleshed out. It starts out pretty chill, but the game quickly opens up with new mechanics and requirements. I really like the art style (with the exception of the character models; but this is a non issue at typical zoom levels) and UI/UX design, it's definitely above average compared to most indie tycoon/management games. The hard-drawn art is very pleasing. It is very playable in its current EA form. That being said, I would strongly recommend going through the full tutorial on your first playthrough. It's more of a intro/prologue with tutorial elements as opposed to a more classic tutorial form. I do wish the developer would add a x0.5 speed mode, but this is definitely not a major issue. Looking forward to the upcoming major update and the 1.0 release.

Initially had a game breaking bug/design issue. let the dev know (albeit with a less than kind comment) and he immediately fixed it. Definity worth supporting this guy.

I played 5h and I feel that I still have a lot to discover. So for a game developed my 1 dev, it's really really good. It will not re-invent the style, but all the mechanics are well established, well performed and the game itself is nicely polished. It is challenging without being frustrating. I really like it, and I will probably play regularly !
