Stellar Horizon

I think the emphasis should be on exploring not trying how to figure out navigation. Had to play the game repeatedly just to be able to get to another star system, and refuel. Never had get back with the cargo I brought. If that worked better this could be an awesome game.

It’s been a year without update so I’m not holding my breath however this is a great little sim if you can stomach some annoyances. Mainly planetary exploration. I’m good with the old-school dungeon crawling method that they’ve used by hitting a button and moving forward one frame at a time. The problem is the amount of time it takes to do anything on the ground. Maybe it’s just this iPad from 2017 however to move one space ahead it takes at least 10 seconds of the screen sitting there with the wait dial spinning like it’s loading. This is whether you turn or move in a direction. Exploring a planet is near impossible because of the amount of time it takes. No joke it’s like watching the Mars rover move but even slower. Navigation is also lacking, I haven’t found a way to click on a mission and have it pointed towards that star, and there isn’t a search feature so navigating around is a bit of a pain. I don’t understand why you can’t just click on a mission and have it have a navigate button so that at least you’re set to go, like a elite dangerous. It could be a fun little in the same however the developer really has not put in some quality of life stuff making it obnoxious. Planetary exploration really needs to be fixed, I’m OK with it being slow but the wait time to move anywhere is obnoxious enough not to play the game.

I scanned a peace that holds up the White House it it says there’s nothing there and I can’t launch on a flat surface

I love this game. It feels like a lot of time and effort when into making it. I also love there aren’t ads constantly popping up. But there are some aspects that are rather clunky. The wormholes seem to go to only two parts of the galaxy, not sure there is any benefit of building a base, especially having to go back to them to collect income, navigating a planet can be rather difficult, especially trying to go up steep inclines, it takes forever getting to a legendary system, there are a few bugs (like being able to cheat by having no money and paying the fines to get almost unlimited money), but even getting the best ship and weapons doesn’t have a great payoff considering trying to cover a large distance to a legendary system can take hours since the wormholes shoot you out two places. I’m not sure what the end goal is... I like the free play, but the game doesn’t hint of what the long term game or when you’ve completed it, so it can be monotonous. I’d keep the open play with the option for an ending... I assume now the point is to visit all the legendary systems, maybe the AI computer giving some more guidance with an end story... haven’t been able to do that yet. Also a strategy guide of some sort would be nice. Overall a fun game with loads of potential and I’d love to see some updates. Good job developer, it’s a unique game with a bit more polish id give it five stars. And if the developer wanted to put a price on it to fund future developments on it I would pay a few bucks.

I downloaded this because it sounded like no man’s sky for iOS. It’s definitely simpler but that makes it better suited to play a bit here and a bit there. The vastness of the game is astounding given its memory size which I suppose is the beauty of procedural generation. Well worth the the $2.99 even if you only make your way across a small chunk of the galaxy.

This game is rather strange. On one hand the developer has done some very interesting things, like a procedurally generated universe and planets. On the other hand, the UX is terrible and a number of features are underdeveloped. There is immense potential here — I really wanted a game like this for mobile and this is all I could find on iPad. But the flaws like the UX, and the slow planet navigation, and inconvenient navigation make this a chore. Keep working on this, please!

I honestly can’t believe anyone can play this. If this is fun then I missed the boat. Sorry I really tried....

Wow! different , very cool, fun! , huge exploration! Please, Keep the updates coming!!!!! It would be great to have an option to enlarge the font. (I’m playing on my iPhone and text is small.) Having giant ships flying by or to fight against would be really sweet too! Love the game!

This game is fantastic and I’ve been looking for a game that lets you explore different planets, but there is one thing that I wish you will improve. The movement controls are a bit show and you don’t get a lot of freedom to move and look around, so can you add something like a joystick and make it so that you can swipe the screen to look around just like most first person games. I really love this game and I hope you would do this.

Enjoying the game. Experiencing a lot of crashes to home screen. Saving the game frequently to avoid losing progress, but this makes for very frustrating game play. I’d give 5 of 5 stars for the game aside from this. Hopefully will continue development and address the crashes. Thank you for an enjoyable app.
