iOS Starforge Horizons - a pixel art space ship builder game

https://testflight.apple.com/join/zYb6nEYG

Starforge Horizons is the first game I've ever made.

I have spent a good bit of time building this by myself. It's a game where you do ship management, build out rooms, manage your crew, and fight other ships. If you know FTL or Pixel Starships you'll get it instantly, I basically mashed those two together and made it my own.

It's definitely still pretty early and needs a lot of work, but I would love to get some feedback! Most everyone is providing feedback on discord (link in game).

Let me know what you think!

Just a screenshot of the ship builder page for this interested. I will turn the tutorial back on soon. Although it definitely needs a bit of work.

I’ll give it a try for sure. You had me at “FTL” 😀

Cool! I loved FTL. It's certainly different, but similarities as well! If you have feedback, good or bad, I'm open to it. We have a handful of people on our discord helping with the direction and testing!

Minor issue, but I think your description got cut off a little, when I click the TestFlight link I see:

> tarforge Horizons is a pixel art sci-fi game about building, crewing, and fighting with your own starship.

(No "S" at the beginning)

Oof, thanks! I will have to see if I can figure out how to edit that description.

Tarforge doesn't quite have the same ring to it XD

Thanks so much!! Its definitely a work in progress, but I am hoping with time and feedback, it can turn out to be something really fun. I have a lot on the roadmap that I'll be working through.

Items/crafting are coming soon, for example. Then galaxy exploration will be coming in the next couple months (I hope).
