(CORRECTION: It seems there is a save, which I discovered by accident. This would be because the game in no way communicates that it will save your progress when you return to the main menu. This makes the time limit even worse, really.)

I'm really enjoying this game, but it doesn't seem to have had any updates for over a year, the dev is notoriously unwilling to engage in discussions, and there's a couple of serious flaws that mean I can't really recommend it to anyone else.

While I'm personally actually very much enjoying the simplicity, even as basic as it is, you'll struggle to experience everything it has to offer due to an in-game timer of about 5-6 days before you are deemed to have survived your "infinite" survival experience. Of course, this might well be because of a lack of any ability whatsoever to save, which would make lengthy runs somewhat difficult.

Makes me wish it was open source, or open to modding, so that at least someone else could tie up the basic loose ends.

I've moved the correction to the top, but I will not remove my first impressions.

To say the time limit is my only "only complaint", is to miss an awful lot. For one thing, the save function is still a problem when it is *so badly* communicated that I genuinely thought it didn't have one. For another, several other problems are, in fact, listed.

If the game were free, it'd be a recommended-with-caveats situation. As it isn't, my ability to find some enjoyment despite the drawbacks does not mean I'd actually recommend it to others.

Also... that time limit is a really, *really* big complaint. You're basically just starting to really get into the swing of things and then bam, game over. No option to continue anyway, no way to avoid it, no actual payoff for getting over the initial hump of the learning curve.

Your "correction" cannot be seen unless someone clicks "show more" on your review. You might want to edit your review properly and correctly state that there IS a save option while removing the section still stating there is no save.

Also since you said you really enjoyed the game and the only complaint that now remains is the time limit of 6 in-game days, are you still not recommending the game based on that alone?
