#3The environmental parameters reminds me a little of the old space 4x, Stars!.
Cute game. I break it out a couple times a year. There's been some great seed shop books (Watts's Freeze Frame Revolution, KSR's Aurora, Noumenon, Children of Time), and this is pretty different but has the spirit.

#5This was really fun. It had some FTL: Faster Than Light vibes.
I wish it was much longer, like Zork. Would be cool to manage the colony on the planet too as a future feature.

#6I love this game and have had it on my phone for many years. Funny to see this come up - I just played it a couple of times a day ago for the first time in a few years.

If you haven't read Non-Stop by Brian Aldiss, I strongly recommend it.

I've often felt that an updated version of Stars! would be very well received. So many current 4x games are hyper-micro-management and Stars! had a perfect balance (IMHO) between management and overall strategy.
