This game is soup-er.
I bought this game specifically to play with my partner.
A lot of the negative comments say that multiplayer is bad, or laggy, but in my
experience (for about 10 hours) finds this to not be true.
Gameplay is simple, but there's always a lot to do and you always feel like you
can improve, progression really feels like it helps, but even when you don't
have a million robots at the beginning you still feel like you can make a great
base.
If you love the base builder, farming or "job like" games, you'll love this!
All in all, we've gotten at least 10 hours (we're planning on playing more -
there's still lots to explore!) of gameplay for 2 dollars. 10/10 can't ask for
more.
EDIT: After going through the third portal, the multiplayer gameplay began to
become unsynched a LOT.
It's not the internet connection because we're playing on the same connection,
so we should be good to go. Also it only happens for some levels, so I can start
to see what other people were talking about.
We still got great value out of this game while playable, and hopefully there
will be an update or two to fix the issues.

I tried to make my friends play this many times and they looked at the game with
that meh... expression. They mostly never tried it but all thoses who did liked
it.
The game Launch like a terraria map where you gotta start every time from
scratch* with a factory and explore to find ingredients. Once you're set up, you
have to defend your soup factory versus, kinda pirate, I dont know the name but
they basicaly try to eat or blow up your base.
It mostly base building, base defence, exploration and trying to mix up new
combination of ingredients. where the game, get more complex as you unlock more
options, ex. vehicles or new robots.
The game have a harsh while cartoony embience where you have to compete with
rival company as an astro-worker and your boss just want results, he dont care
that much about you but you understand this with a type of humor that is quite
chaming for a game.
This is a sample of one of the jokes you face early on but in my words: Try to
not die, every time an astro-worker dies, I gotta fill up a ton of paper and it
cost me money to get a new one.
The art looks like additions of simple shapes to make your average object with
colorfull background that change with planets, The pieces of factory you use are
always the same color but as you place them, the art change with a tube placed
on one side or the addition of a fan etc..., it not much but it get the job done
and I did enjoyed it, the robots you use and your caracter are slightly less
squared that the rest of the game but not much.
The online is weak not due to a bad interface but more because there isn't that
much player at any given time that play online and it a shame for the effort
that was given to make it simple and working. when you do manage to find some
one it half of the time some random dude at the other side of the globe and when
it does happen, the connection is as bad as the sexyness of a blobfish. If you
play with friends nearby, it can support up to 4 players.
*I said from scratch but you do unlock new technologies with completed games.
** Sorry for my bad english if I made some mistakes, im french but I wanted this
to reach a broader audience.

This game has a certain charm to it, I cannot stop playing at all.
If you like crafting and automation, check it out!
It may not be the best at automation but the whole concept is so nice I love it.

Bought this to play with my partner, but it crashes to desktop before we can
even get to the point where it allows us to co-op. Playing on his account for an
hour or so via family sharing, I have watched him do the second mission three
times now.
Edit: After a few more hours, it hasn't crashed again, although it gets very
laggy for a minute whenever a controller or keyboard gets plugged in. I think
the initial crashes were maybe when my controller switched off.
It still sucks that you can't multiplayer for the first few missions, and the
split-screen is a bit wonky on an ultrawide monitor - the game definitely shows
it's age- but overall it's been a fun few hours, and I'm changing away from
negative to a tentative positive.

One of the best co-op games I've ever played. I wish there were more games out
there like this.
