A great game with a great community. If you get bored of the main game, you can go into both mapping and modding. Both can be just as enjoyable as normal gameplay, and people on the official Discord will help if you have any problems. Absolutely recommended.

Are you reading this to see if you should get this game?

Then congratulations! You probably should.

This game isn’t for everybody, because not everyone would care about a Marble physics simulator, but if you’re reading this - You probably enjoy marble runs enough to consider this a fun toy, in which case - this game definitely is! At least… If you’re willing to learn the controls for it, which are REALLY not intuitive at first but you get used to them once you learn them (also, the game’s still in early access and improving the controls is on the dev’s to do list)

Love the game! I’d give 4.5/5. The reason I don’t give a full 5 stars, is because its only for windows. I understand that things are weird, but maybe making it available to mac would really be cool and add more of the community to the game.

EDIT: I don’t update my rating, still 4.5/5. I know this is still early access, but it would be pretty nice if something like “Gates” were added, letting you stop all your marbles at specific areas. Another thing that would be cool would be a sort of “trash block”, where once a marble touches it, its automatically deleted. Again, this game is still early access, so it doesn’t matter for how long it takes, as long as it can be done.

Determinant

It is the year 2140. One hundred years after a massive meteor struck the earth, almost wiping out the entire planet. The survivors retreated into the ruined cities and began rebuilding them into massive fortresses walled off from the rest of the desolate earth.

Those who did not make it to the cities were permanently shut out. Determined to survive, they are constantly trying to find a way in.

You wake up abandoned outside in the wasteland with no memory of what happened. Survive and ultimately make your way into the cities.

INTRODUCTION

This is a physics-based open-world survival adventure game. It is planned to include survival, base building, crafting, puzzles, combat and a compelling story to drive it. Building will be a core gameplay mechanic where you build structures to overcome challenges and solve puzzles in the world. For example building a bridge to cross a river, stairs to reach high places, or defending against enemies.

It is still currently very early in development, but some basic survival and building is already in place.

IMMERSIVE PHYSICAL INTERACTIONS

Every object you grab has collisions and interacts with the environment. Push things with a stick, hit objects or move things out of the way. Your hands will dynamically touch and rest nearby walls or surfaces.

Characters are full physics-based active ragdolls and will react to and collide with physics objects. They can walk, run, climb and lose balance and fall down realistically. Grab and pull them and they will move along. Pull too hard and they will fall down.

UNIQUE 3D PHYSICAL INVENTORY SYSTEM

Unlike other games with a standard 2D grid inventory, this inventory system stores items as physical 3D objects and can be moved and arranged and grabbed seamlessly during gameplay. A custom physics solution allows for controllable collisions, arranging and prevents objects flying away.

REALISTIC FOOD

Highly detailed food models based on actual photographs makes eating an enjoyable experience. Like in real life, you need time to chew and swallow and not just instantly have it disappear.

BUILDING

Build your own base and defend against enemies. Solve puzzles in the world, for example building a bridge to cross a river, stairs to reach high places, or just plain out creatively building things for fun. Crafting and survival still a work in progress.

Pillbug interactive keeps improving with every new title. A very bizzare and unique game.

Great soundtrack and background watercolor art made by some talented people. Game contains a surprisingly mature story despite what the artstyle would suggest, but it’s skippable if it’s not your cup of tea.

The developers have been very nice and receptive to feedback during development. If the game looks interesting to you, and you want to shape the future of where it goes, I highly recommend joining in on early access and talking with them on discord. :D

Is it a platformer? Is it a sandbox? Is it an optimisation puzzle?

Yes! and it keeps growing and developing in ways I couldn’t have predicted.

Build your vessel, mario all over it to get coins, use coins to make a grander vessel, and all against the clock.

Depending on your style, maybe the vehicle operates itself, maybe it’s 100m tall, maybe it’s 100m long, maybe you can use your melee 20XX skillz to go even faster than automation allows?

I Fetch Rocks

I Fetch Rocks

The year is 2150. You’ve successfully landed a job working for one of the many mining facilities stationed in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. Using a company issued Asteroid Hauler, your job is to search for mineral rich asteroids and tow them back to the primary mining facility for further processing.

Be warned, this trivial sounding job will push you to your creative engineering limits. The asteroid belt is extremely dangerous, radiation and cosmic rays will continuously degrade the components of your ship. Over the course of your employment you will need to become intimately familiar with how all ship systems operate and fit together so that you can rearrange, rewire and reprogram them as they fail around you. You’ll need to get creative to survive and get your payload back to the primary mining facility.

honestly speaking, this game is truly great. it allows for creativity. it could also be considered as educational because it can teach kids about physics, allows them to express their creativity, and hours of fun and creativity which in turn can improve how a kids brain develops.

I cautiously recommend this game only if you can look past its shortcomings. I have been playing since ~2008 when I was only 12yr old.

The Good:

There is something about this game that can get you addicted like no other. The player base is very close (admittedly also rather small) and everybody knows everyone else and that makes the community very strong. You can create your own team join a team (aka clan, faction, country) and take control of start systems and use the resources within them to build ships, weapons, space stations, and become an industrial powerhouse. But you better be prepared to defend what you own. Much like a country in real life, your team could become a true superpower with all the fame and infamy that comes with it. You can exercise your hard and soft power as you see fit. Politics are very real in this game and I love it. Likewise, if you upset too many players they may declare war against you. Every solar system you own and space station you build is at risk. In a worse case scenario you could lose all of your territory, all of your industry, and be forced to surrender which almost always results in the death of said team. This is something I really like about this game. You have a lot of freedom and the choices you make can make you insanely rich, respected, and powerful. But you could lose it all.

TLDR - A decade+ after the game’s initial launch there is still nothing else quite like Star Sonata on the market today.

The game is heavily influenced by the Star Control series and combines 90’s style arcade action with MMO character development and an almost limitless item progression that rivals many modern MMOs. It has in-depth base building that is basically a whole different game unto itself where you can make money doing colonies, making gear, selling industrial commodities and more. The PvE content is typically fun and offers a variety of solo and group style engagements.. The PvP and team vs team combat probably needs the most improvement but the game doesn’t really revolve around those.

This game is Awesome! So creative and fun even for a early access game there is loads of content and the Devs. are constantly adding new stuff. they have limited-time seasonal updates were you can get unique holiday weapons and armour. Its stuff like that, that makes this game such a fun and fresh experience not to mention the humour keeps me laughing the hole time.

Great game! This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! It has exactly what I want in a game! Open world (although its not so huge from what I can see but nonetheless feels great), base building/managing, crafting/cooking, looting (lots of looting lol), combat/gang wars and the power to pee on anything! lol. I’m glad I wish listed this game and then purchased it on day one, it was worth every penny! Its been keeping me entertained and glued to my seat. I look forward to seeing this game grow in development! Keep up the good work Helix Games!
