Out There: Ω Edition

I love this game however, there seems to be a bug where if you land on some rocky planets you attempt to drill and it won’t let you. There’s seems to be an invisible confirm box slightly above the drill text box, once you hit it the character says “I have the impression this alien wants to enter my ship” but then the resource screen shows minerals as if you used your drill with no alien there. This sometimes results in a broken drill.

Clearly some folks like this kind of thing, but in a typical game you only get to travel to a few stars. You either just didn't find enough fuel, oxygen, or took hull damage due to some random event. I just don't enjoy playing the beginning over and over. Who knew?

“Out There” is a masterpiece. It does so many things right, and avoids the pitfalls of other games. The whole thing is a labor of love, from the hand-drawn art to the gorgeous score, from the great writing to the fun mechanics of the game. I find myself coming back to this every time I want to get lost in another universe for a while.

Minesweeper in space. Stumble from star to star until you run out of resources. Then die. Somewhat tedious and definitely frustrating.

Good concept, but pretty buggy. It lost me when my only stack of helium got deleted with no confirmation.
