Tiny Space Program 4+

I’ve been playing this game a little less than a year, and from my experience I think it’s a pretty good game: there’s a decent amount of stuff to do, you feel free while playing, no forced ads, and more. However, there are a few things I think need fixed. As far as fixing, there are a few bugs I’ve ran into. When using a few big non-manned space shuttles (I don’t remember of that’s the correct name) consecutively, sometimes one or two of them will disappear. The shuttle and everything in it is just gone. I don’t know if the one I’m about to say is meant to be a feature or if it’s a bug, but if you have a ton of drilling sites available and you tap on the workers icon at the bottom of the screen, and look at the various drilling sites, you can’t scroll to see the others. It’s like the bottom of the screen is cut off. This could be intentional to force you to drill out other materials, but I wasn’t for sure. These however are just a few minor problems, nothing huge. All in all I think it’s a great game considering what it offers as a free game, especially compared to most mobile games now.

Been playing for a couple weeks now and beside from the crashes that occur from time to time which don’t effect anything and aren't a big deal at all this game is great. Only real issues I have come across so far are;

I purchased the $8.99 crystal pack which gives you 750 crystals plus you are supposed to receive a 30% bonus for your first purchase, for that specific pack it was supposed to be 225 extra crystals which I did not receive.

When you scan or explore for mining locations on a planet or moon to find potential mining sites, whence the screen is filled up on the manage menu tab there’s no way to filter through new potential mining sites and see the icon to create a site. This is an issue because the main way to get serious credits in this game is to set up gold mining sites and when I can’t access newly found gold mining sites on a planet apart from fully depleting a formally found site it takes way to much time.

This is an addicting and fun game that I am excited to see grow, even with the above mentioned issues I’ll still be continuing to play. Shoutout to the lone creator and developer Jerry for all his hard work making this gem!

1) the space station needs a revamp. The models used for the ‘mini game’ visuals are extremely hard to follow. 2) I’m lost and confused. Been playing the game for a few days, and I’m still unsure about what does what. This wouldn’t be a bad thing if the game itself wasn’t a economical version of dark souls. Every mistake seems to be a punishment. 3) Economy needs to figure itself out. When I started playing, the way I made credits were from logging in and selling the free items, then that turned into selling space rocks. And after that, you’d think that it would get easier, but now I just watch Netflix while spamming advertisements for credits. I’ve watched well over 25k credits worth in advertisements (100 credits per ad). 3 1/2) The other part of the economy needs to figure itself out. I still cannot, for the life of me, figure out an efficient way to get research. And all of this wouldn’t even be that big of a deal, if 4) the timers for the research/building weren’t so long. They almost make me feel like its actually me whose out and about building/researching myself. And I really like this game too, but these kind of things hinder the experience.
