rymdkapsel

rymdkapsel is a meditative strategy game set in space. Take on the challenge of building the best possible station by commanding your minions and exploring the galaxy around you.
Imagine a strategy game where you don't have to worry about selecting units or mounting attacks on your enemies, but rather can focus on building the best base possible.

That's what rymdkapsel is all about.

"Rymdkapsel feels tailor-made for iOS in both form and function, and its elegant, subtle constituent parts nest within one another as neatly as its four-block tetrominos snap together along a space station corridor."
- 5/5 stars, Joseph Leray, toucharcade.com

"Some games nearly make me miss my subway stop. Some games tempt me to keep on playing them while I'm walking down the street. This is one of them."
- Stephen Totilo, kotaku.com

"The game punishes the greedy, and rewards the prudent. If you’re attentive, you’ll notice that there’s actually a happy medium between the two: optimal efficiency."
- Ryan Rigney, wired.co.uk

"Rymdkapsel combines spatial puzzling, tower defence and base-building into a brilliantly coherent and stylish whole."
- Christian Donlan, eurogamer.net

It's a good start but it has a few issues for me. It starts off nice but if you don't get everything finished in about 20 rounds, the waves speed up to the point of being unplayable. I just want a relaxing game without the enemy waves and you have to clear the game first (not a big deal) but from what I can tell, even in Zen mode, resources are limited. This makes the game useless after you deplete some supplies. You can't afford to move anything around or make the best base possible.

Nice idea, but horrible UX. Minions are stupid, do not communicate to each other. Progress bar is misleading, its speed is changing. As far as minions are stupid you can't help them by temporary freezing buildings. You don't see wave number until it hits you. There is a mission to research all islands in 45 minutes, but there is no timer. In the 16th wave you mine all resources, so you can't build anything. Please add "start next wave" button. And what was the goal?

5 stars for excellent gameplay/design, but minus 2 because it's hard to justify the price for the amount of content. With only one scenario, there's little to do after learning the mechanics. I beat the game in two rounds (~1.5 hours), and the hard/zen modes don't add anything interesting.

The concept and realisation are good and enjoyable, but some things need improving. The first minutes of game are tedious, it's just soo sloooow. Any chances of adding an option to speed up the time? The other thing - I just died ca 22 wave because I accidentally deployed all my... kapsels? to research instead of defending. I realised that seconds too late and over 60 minutes of gameplay were lost. I realise that adding an option to save manually would spoil all the fun, but maybe doing something to make the interface clearer...?

This is a good game, makes you think a bit. It's got a zen element to it also but I'd say macro management is the focus. It's a little different each time, and the struggle to completion is worthy of anyone's skill level. Should be enjoyable to most people. I would say it's a little slow, which is probably why I haven't gone back to it for a bit. But I was hooked and determined to keep playing when I first downloaded it. You'd be pretty hard pressed to find something truly bad about the game.

Super simple and fun, I just wish there was an endless mode where you can keep expanding and finding more materials. Or at least have a variety of different levels. I finished the game once and I feel like there's no reason to keep playing since it'll just be repetitive now

Boring game with no replayability. This game presents interesting ideas & gameplay, but falls short on any in depth look. The tetris system feels obtuse at best, almost as if it was tacked onto the game because it lacked unique features. The normal gameplay is hugely unoptimised, your minions are very dumb. I could overlook this but alas the game only has one level and that's it. It was quite easy to beat and then what? Play again? The game doesn't have anything to build on to want to play.

It's a very well designed game, pretty fun but I think after 3-4 games there's nothing new to do and replayability suffers as a result. There's achievements which can contribute somewhat, as well as additional difficulties but the gameplay stays pretty much the same as when you first start playing

Overall it's ok but there are certainly better games that are similar. There is an exploit where you can cancel a build and you can switch pieces which just ruins the point of the game. "Imagine a strategy game where you dont have to worry about selecting units" i feel like the main challenge in this game is having to constantly switch jobs for your units. The game is quite short and doesn't have much replayability. This feels like a game that is still in it's pre-release stage.

This is a seemingly gentle game until the pressure mounts up and you lose - in that respect it reminds me of Tetris, where it obviously gets done inspiration from. A lot of complexity to what at first seems like quite a simple resource management game. Love the soundtrack.

Very nice. The tetris piece approach is a bit annoying, but it works relatively well. The game is fun but hard enough. I do wish there was something you could get between games, for a sense of progress, but I guess this would go against the minimalist style.

Dav. S. Sep 7, 2021     

Very good game overall. Repetitive after a time. Would be improved with the ability to speed game play, but a very good overall game. Upgrade of endless resources, upgrading defenses to extend the game play etc. New tasks, New objectives.

Ash. H. Aug 12, 2019     

Interesting idea, crude execution. TLDR: Its a 5min game stretched into a paid 45min format. - There are only 2 levels but they are effectively identical. - The AI is incredibly slow and the game has no way to modify the timescale. - The AI task management produces alot of redundancies, its normal to see half of your workers deliver the same resource to a building that only needs 1. This is very painful to watch when they move so slow. - There is little to no diversity in gameplay/strategy.

Dav. B. M. Jan 18, 2021     

Its an average game. It's a good idea, but just not for me. I find it very annoying that the workers are stupid. If I'm constructing something they take more supplies than needed and they lose the extra once completed.

It's ok. The first few rounds are fun, but after that, they keep going faster until it is literally impossible to keep up. And the other modes don't really add anything new.

D4n. Dec 9, 2021     

Perfect game literally, but I would still appreciate new game modes, like a bigger map with e.g. 8 research towers or something like that. Maybe new buildings or upgradable buildings.

Fab. S. Mar 22, 2021     

So happy I found this gem again and I must say this is still one of the best and most innovative blends of strategy and puzzle elements ever put together on any platform. I remember it being good but not this good. 98/100

Fer. D. May 25, 2020     

Great game to chill, build a nice infrastructure, and pass the time. Be warned though, if you don't make good defenses everyone will die. There's a no enemies mode for just building.

Mat. H. Mar 31, 2021     

The most pure RTS I have experienced. Challenging and engaging, utterly absorbs my attention for up to 40 minutes (not sure what wave that was, but I did not survive it).

Kar. O. Feb 3, 2021     

Best game ever! I bought play pass specifically for this game alone, i had it on my old phone but lost the account so i HAD to play this on my majestic S21U display once again! No matter what i play i always come back to play this once more! I love every game that this developer makes, next up im gonna be addicted to holedown!

Dry. Mar 17, 2021     

The UI is extremely obtrusive and I'm not sure if it has got much replayability, but it's certainly interesting for a little while.

Top. Jan 23, 2022     

Scratches that resource management itch but ultimately pretty short and not much to do with it after you complete it.

Kev. G. Mar 28, 2022     

Great gameplay but limited scenarios, so there isn't much to keep your interest.

Jac. M. Jan 30, 2022     

I Played this game upon its first release and had forgotten the name and was unable to find it for years, till I found it in the premium puzzles tab, so happy to be playing again

Kev. S. Jan 16, 2021     

Had it on psvita...constantly checked for it on Google play. Stumbled upon it just recently, and I couldn't be happier. Its the perfect mobile game. Well with the price. I promise. Five stars all day.

Col. W. Mar 14, 2021     

Could be better. There's a distinct point where you know you've lost because you can't produce enough to keep up with the enemies, and unfortunately it's far too early.
