Full Release on the 18th of MAY - Trailer Video - Pre Release Update
It is truly incredible how a indie game, as opposed to triple-A titles, can get recognition thanks to the kindness of people like you. There's been plenty of ups and downs and we have managed to finish two crowdfunding raises on wspieram.to and indiegogo. A simple 'thank you' won't ever convey the gratitude we feel towards you. You helped immensely us by playing the game, providing feedback or simply encouraging us. The "pre-release" update for the game is already available on Steam. This version is the final version; the only possible changes would concern the difficulty optimization and bug removal. (maybe adding some very small features also)
The games has much more features than we initially planned. This project was supposed to take 6 months, but ultimately took over 4 years to complete, no small feat for such a tiny team. We have always been honest and implemented every feature we promised. Unfortunately we were unable to include a save system which would allow to save the game in any place. We didn't promise such a feature, but based on your requests we tried to make it work. We spent 2 months on it but came up empty. The game was in such an advanced state that implementing this save system was virtually impossible. We do hope that all the improvements and balancing on the gameplay we made, as well as the inclusion of various difficulty levels will make the game much better and more fun to play. It goes without saying that the progress is saved after each mission.
- 5 additional levels (including 3 levels with bosses), a final level with two ways to end the game and two different endings. - Difficulty levels. Doesn't matter if you're a hardcore gamer or just simply want to experience the story - now you'll find 4 difficulty levels for everyone to enjoy. - Overall optimization: each aspect of the game has been overhauled to make the gameplay more fun. All the bugs have been removed. The levels can be finished much quicker if that is what you're going for. - The sandbox/survival mode has been optimized, specifically the random event frequency. - Group creation and the Mims AI has been overhauled. - Hotkeys have been added. - The icing on the cake: Steam achievements. - soon there will be Italian language version for sure (and we hope spanish too) All right, that’s enough babbling from us. Just pick up the game and see for yourself. Have fun! P.S You remarks and bug reports are still very important ________________________ OFFICIAL WEBSITE Follow our team here : Our Facebook Our Twitter Our Gamedev Blog

The player's goal, among others, is to perform various tasks necessary to repair the spaceship. You begin by properly expanding your new colonies. Every mission takes place on a different planet, where isolated groups of castaways face their own fate.
The game combines numerous elements of gameplay: Your colonists act on their own most of the time, going about their duties without orders issued by the player. However, you can control them directly by issuing simple commands.
As the leader of the colony you have psionic power at your disposal, altering the fauna and flora of your planet, as well as the environment which they inhabit.
The main focus of the game lies in expanding and defending the colony. Every building or plant placement counts, nevertheless the game falls more into a light-strategy genre.
The basic resource crucial to the colony's survival and development is energy. It is also essential to Mims’ vitality - used while performing work, as well as for maintaining proper functioning of the infrastructure. Vitality is obtained in generators using Bio Mass - derived, in turn, from special fruits processed in the Extractor. Part of the energy can also be obtained from wind flow thanks to correct placement of Wind Turbines.
The tasks performed by the Mims should include the expansion of the colony and picking up Bio fruits.Some of the Mims act as a protection against various and dangerous creatures attracted by the scent of fruit and animals.
The Mims’ knowledge allows them to breed animals that feed on different types of fruit. Grown animals can be traded with native tribes and exchanged for crystals essential in further expansion of the colony.
In order to grow fruit for animals, Mims will also need to sow seeds from various plant species, such as exploding plant that hurls fruits around. Choosing good sites for sowing seeds has a strategic element to it.
A clever leader is able to use the topography of the map to their advantage, thereby avoiding excessive scattering of fruit all over the planet. In case of a bad placement, fruit crop can be lost due to fruit rolling off the edge of the planet.
If the crops fail to be harvested on time, they will soon rot away, resulting in a loss of a precious resource.
Along the way you shall also gain access to new buildings, plants, acquire new Psi powers, as well as invent new skills for your Mims.

Badly governed colony expansion may result in a crisis and chaos on your planet, in which case you might be forced to restart the scenario.
As the story progresses, Mims will find themselves facing threats from outer space. One of them is a meteor storm that can wreak havoc among your colonists. In order to be prepared, you can invent technology that allows you to predict such future events.
Help Mims survive the numerous perils of the galaxy in their bid to reach their final destination!
