As a pod lover, i was expecting a bit more from this game. But the controls are extremely janky, the tutorial is not clear on many aspects, and the interface is overall kind of hard to navigate. Sadly wouldn't recommend this game.

What players are saying
I love bugs and seeing this game was really exciting. However, there are definitely lots of things that need to get fixed in this. -It tells you to use WASD and shift to move around, but those don't work at all. -I set the time to 1000x and no stats move at all after a week of feeding only once on the first day. - -You have to angle the camera weirdly to be able to find and click onto the other habitats. -I don't see any money being earned even after selling the isopods. -No way of restarting. After just under an hour of playing, these are thing I've noticed already. I would love to see these things get fixed in the near future! I'm recommending this game for now because I love the concept, but it definitely is not really enjoyable at the moment.
So do not mind me for the ass formatting of this review, Ive never wrote one in my 8 years or so here... Maybe i am dumb, but is there like no way to start over? Also the free camera doesn't really work. at all. I feel this game could def get some inspirations in games like it. EX: Wobbledogs. I love the concept and i love isopods more, but the camera doesnt work, the speed in which they reproduce seems so slow, and so unforgiving. I know we are doing realism but cmon. It is a game. I know we can speed up time but even then you cant do much besides wait. The whole UI needs updated and redone as well. I see potential and ways to be fun but its just lack luster rn. Need to add more foods available, bc isopods are little dumpsters. Add chance of parasites or mold and the things to deal with it.. If you are going to add crafting, then you need to make the knowledge of how to get said supplies easier. Or give more information OR after fixing the money system (its brutual dude) then you add chance to BUY supplies.. After 30 minutes I was just frustrated and had no Idea where to go from there. I made mistakes a killed my colony with no real way to get more?? or reset??
