About this game

An AI ship full of frozen colonists must find the best planet to be the new home of the human race. A randomly-generated text-based strategy game.

Push your luck: do you settle here, on this not-quite-ideal planet, or keep searching and risk your ship being damaged in the journey? The planets you encounter are randomly generated, and as you travel you encounter random events, so each playthrough is different. See the stories of the colonies you found, and keep trying for a higher score.

Ratings and reviews

A mildly amusing time-waster. Gets very repetitive after a while. Could use a bit more variety in the common events. The choices you make during gameplay certainly affect the outcome, but mostly not in a predictable way, and there don't seem to be many ways that I can use what I've learned on previous runs to help in a new one, which to me makes even a positive result vaguely unsatisfying. It feels like I'm just waiting for a random number generator to give me a good score.
