Early Access Review
I have six hours playing the demo of this game.
Seven hours on the Playtest version.
and three and a half hours on the full release.

Time well spent.

Its a nice "jump in and have fun" title.
the level of polish has been improving steadily through the different versions. the developer is receptive to constructive feedback.

I love the visuals and sound design of the game.
the textures are pretty high res, but stylized enough that they will not look uncanny in a few years
The sounds are clear, and make the interactions between the player's ship and the world feel like they have more weight.
It also warns you when the Music Moon is about to crash into you!

I only have a few complaints about the game. Assume anything I do not mention as being a positive factor.

-Crystal grind.
While optional. I like to fully upgrade my ship ASAP. which leads to a lot of repetitive grinding as I earn the 10's of thousands of crystal points to fully upgrade my ship

-One inaccessible save file.
You only get one save file to play the game with, while progress is quick and I reached the current limit of the game in a little over three hours, (stopped before Geothermal planet) It is annoying that if I want to start over I lose ALL of my progress.
Also there is no save "file" that can be found. As far as I was able to tell the save data is hidden somewhere in a cache file and cannot be backed up.

-Current version does not have the Demo's Arcade mode
Its just a few fun minigames, I assume they will be re-enabled soon.

-Planets will be released over time
As of this writing the Geothermal planet has not been released yet. along with around 5 or 6 other planets that are off limits. But there is already several planets of content, and each one is unique, and your missions will sometimes require traveling back to previous planets and moving materials between then. So this is a negative that will become more positive over time.

Overall. I had fun.

(also you can unofficially customize the look of the ship if you are clever enough)

Early Access Review
The world of this game is so beautiful and so full of secrets. I spent 4 hours just exploring the cave and digging up hidden treasure! I have not even touched the Automation part of this game yet.

Always check your Radar!! many hidden secrets await the brave!

The answer is YES!

The question is "Should you get this game?".

YAAAAAAAASSSSSS!

Just get the game. Wholesome, fun, silly, open, climb, glide, swim, throw.

and the best feature of all. blowing bubble gum bubbles large enough you float away.

Early Access Review
First impressions.
pretty rough.
the draw distance on buildings was extremely short.
The archers were a legitimate threat. but flying circles around them was a decent way of taking them out. however that also lost altitude pretty fast.
I kept pushing buttons expecting them to do things like fly higher and fall down.
I saw a weird flip trick when changing direction. not sure what is does aside from looking pretty.
Mission one was cause damage. easy enough!
Mission two I cant complete because I cannot find enough humans to kill in the time limit. also I keep dying VERY quickly.
one bug I noticed is the count down timer activates itself during the opening dialog screen. if you are a slow reader you just lost precious time.
a minimap similar to Carmageddon showing where humans and villages are would be helpful. or simply a better draw distance.
The graphics I saw on my screen i'd say were on par with "Populus: the beginning"
Also is the Wizard immortal?!?
a good option would be to have space and shift control how high you fly and give the camera more of a free look so you can LOOK down without GOING down.
I've not looked at the trailers or store page of this game in detail yet. I put it on my wishlist some time ago. forgot about it. then got a email saying a dragon game was released.

I see promise. there is NO OTHER game like this that I have found so far. no open world do what you want game. outside of the pesky timer and slightly awkward control scheme its quite fun to fly around.

Graphics need a upgrade. or something was really bugged out on my fresh install. draw distance then textures.
sounds were okay. music was good.
Well worth the price of admission.
while this demo has only 3 missions (the last one i have not even seen yet) that is plenty enough to show that this game shows real potentical to become something great.

TL;DR
I enjoy this game. It has a future.

A friend gifted this game to me, I never heard of it before. but It had a dragon in the picture so naturally i accepted the gift.

I had no idea what I was in for!

I barely made it to part 2 before dying to a young boar.

The mechanics of the game are all based on hidden numbers for stats, Elemental resistances for combat, the only real-time gameplay is during chase scenes when hunting. the rest of the game can be played at any pace you like.
I suggest you go slow. you have to have a lot of forethought and plan you moves days in advance. when the game warns you about something. TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!

There is no manual save system. to proceed in the game YOU. MUST. FAIL!
The game gives you many branches follow, and you cant do them all in one playthrough.
its core gameplay is very much like "Angels With Scaly Wings." that game requires 12 perfect playthroughs minimum to get the true ending. Many more if you don't use a guide.

you have 4 elemental stats to balance, then HP, Energy, and Hoard (money). then unique items that you find as well.

when you die there is some things that cross over into your new game that gives you an advantage, but I am not sure how it effects the new game mechanically.

Also if you struggle with English, this game is probably not for you. much of the dialog is overly complicated and uses uncommon words and strange fonts.

Dispite the lack of a save system the game autosaves constantly. so your play sessions can be any length you want. but "winning" the game would likely take several days if you are going at a casual pace. I dont know I only got to part 2 after several hours.

Overall I would say this is a great game if you enjoy the genre.

people keep compaining that its a short game. yeah if you skip though all the content like a speed runner. but with 3 characters all with Unique text about everything and every interaction I say it has 3 times the depth of any point and click of the same size.

Also Its one of those all-too-rare games that has lizard people who are not evil! HUGE BONUS POINTS FOR THAT!

I checked the website and episode 2 is being worked on. I know i will buy that too when it comes out!


my only complaint is even though it supports fullscreen and 2x/stretch visuals. it doesnt display well on my monitor. the 2x is a little too tall and the stretch doesnt seem to like my dual monitor display. (both screens are smaller than 1080 and only one is widescreen) and you cant choose 2x or strech when not in fullscreen. the game would be better if it streched dynamicly with a maximized window

But because this game features anthromorphic Lizard characters I would say that it is a must have for any Furry gamers. and at $1 there is no reason not to buy it!

this is only a game for unwilling vore fetishists.
the graphics and codeing are both amazing. but the theme and content are appalling. even to a furry.

the gameplay is very similar to that of a NES game but with graphics of the SNES. but very hard as the AI is unforgiving.
I also got stuck in the wrap around zone outside of the screen while 'dead' and the gator AI couldnt even path to me.
