great concept, poor execution. i can see the vision, but the "game" is just bad.
the technology, water, oxygen and mining buttons dont seem to do anything and there is only one planet so claim planet is useless. all you can do is consume planet and create armies. this means, that you just sit around, until you win, as you cant do anything else. 1000 years (or about 30 minutes irl, as one year is around two seconds) of sitting around is not very fun gameplay.
armies that you send into space also cant die. nothing happens after their hp reaches zero.
i could see the game being a lot of fun. sending out armies to either plunder planets or to integrate them into a stable system, that allows you to cruise to victory. the races could play a key part in this, with some races destroying environments no matter what, forcing one to planet hop all the time, other races allowing for an equilibrium to be reached, allowing the buildup of a galactic empire of planets under ones control. then there could be more interesting objectives, than "survive 1000 years". the planet hopping race could be a race with a small population, little reach, so needing to travel to planets close by, with the goal of surviving for 100 years. the environmental race would be a fast growing race with technological advancements, focused on keeping planets stable, while bringing the entire galaxy under their control to win.
but currently it is just no game. there is no explanation on what to do and there isnt anything to do, as the things that you are supposed to do dont work. this means, that there is nothing to do in the game. to win, all you do is leave the game running for 30 minutes and do something else, or have some fun making art with the armies in space. oh and also there is no way to win, or to lose. i waited for the counter to reach 1000 years and it just kept going. i converted my entire population into armies and didnt lose (maybe if they all die and there are no armies you lose, but that would take over ten hours and i doubt that anything would happen.) there is literally no game to be found here, just a concept.
