Jan. 2026

Game is pretty weak but as a revenue to support Kurzgesagt I would buy this ten times over. These guys got me into doing a Masters in chemistry and made science exciting through thier youtube channel when I was in school. Cannot express my gratitude enough for this team.

Sept. 2025

10 SEP, 50 min: I was hoping this would be a more chill game. I love Kurzgesagt on youtube and I love the aesthetic so much. It's so satisfying doing literally anything. The UI is beautiful, the SFX are satisfying. I just kind of wish there wasn't a timer? Sector 1 in 3.5 minutes? I wanted to relax on this game, maybe even just let it run in the background and enjoy watching it, I didn't want to be rushing through things T-T. 18 SEP, 2.3hrs: Good to know Sector 1 is the only one that has a time trial, but I'd still like to voice about it since I do not want more time trials. Anyway, I've played more now. It took me about 5 tries, more or less, to get the 3.5 minutes but I have to say it was not a fun time retrying that. Going through the entire tutorial again and again just to get that goal because I'd like a satisfying completion of it... 22 SEP, 10.5hrs: Feature Request: I'd like to be able to see where a resource is moving to. So if I hover over a resource icon on the map, it'll highlight the destination. I'd also like this feature for destination landing pads, so if I hover over a resource moving to a landing pad, it'll highlight the destination, and then if I hover over a connected landing pad, it'll show me what resource is moving to it. Feature Request: I want to be able to see the recipes a resource is involved with in the journal. So if I click on silicon, it won't just tell me that silicon is a natural resource, it'll also tell me the unlocked recipes that silicon is in. If either of these requests are simply later features in the sectors, my apologies. I'm only at Sector 4.

Sept. 2025

Overall mostly positive feelings about the game with some mixed opinions regarding the gameplay loop. It's sort of a mobile-type game with factory / logistics gameplay. The Kurzgesagt charm is definitely there and everything is done in their style. The game is mostly interesting for following along with the story, like a playable kurzgesagt episode, but the gameplay itself will come off as fairly shallow to anyone familiar with the genre. You mine resources and shuttle them around using some logistics mechanics to fulfill a goal, then you move on to a new area to repeat the process. Completing story objectives is pretty easy and you burn through maps fast; Most of the 'replayability' comes from redoing the same maps to complete challenge objectives, but I found that this always just boils down to a game of 'untangle the spaghetti' which is quite tedious instead of engaging. Overall it's fine if you are expecting a short kurzgesagt mobile game, but don't expect anything too complex or replayable, it's not shapez 2 or anything like that. It's mainly a logistics game with no vertical axis. Given that the game was announced some time ago and the seemingly simple graphics / gameplay, I'm not sure why it's not closer to completion. What is there seems fairly polished, but it feels like less than half a game content wise. Conclusion: Maybe a 4 as a standalone. Probably a 3 if you compare it to top titles in the same genre/s (Satisfactory, Factorio, Shapez, etc).

Mostly ok and entertaining. Keep in mind, while the game is ok, it may be not what you've expect after a trailer This is NOT an asteroid factorio. This is NOT a factory simulator at all. Not a sandbox either. You have various levels with a goal. And you going strictly by that goal, with almost no freedom. The main challenge of this game is you can't cross the pipes and/or cables, so you must cram everything in tiny amount of space. Oh and a time. If you make bad factory, then it just makes you wait for longer You wouldn't get any hard sci-fi as well. Despite all the cool things Kurtzgesaht channel tells about, this game lacks of those. You have birds, which just decide to fly across the galaxy and voila, they immediately invented interstellar travel. The plot is just a fairy tail Overall it's a cute economy management game with birbs. I would recommend it tho, because it plays well and gives good emotions P.S. please add gamepad support. Playing it on steamdeck is little bit uncomfortable

Sept. 2025

Super early days - I just finished level one and on to level 2 - but I just wanted to say this is (so far) completely playable on Steam Deck. It's not optimal (a mouse is super handy still!) but all controls work, including sticks to rotate and bumpers to zoom in and out. Loving the game so far, super relaxing, bloody gorgeous to look at, and all the dialog (so far) is super well done and perfectly silly. Big thumbs up and I can't wait to dig in more. I can't believe this is the standard of Early Access.. mind bogglingly polished!
