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 fun relaxing game. Except for two things. 1 the difficulty ramps up a bit to fast. And 2: THE SALVAGE BUTTON IS RIGHT WHERE MY THUMB TOUCHES TO SCROLL MOVE AROUND. It's on the left hand side and every time I touch, and then go to move without clicking off. I delete the build. No" are you sure you want to salvage?," or undo button. Just gone. I like to plan ahead it have everything blue printed. But if i click on the wrong thing and scroll away, half my plans just disappear.

Needs a fast forward button, minions shouldn't be THIS dumb, Google play games not being logged in and no option to do it manually, needs challenge and larger maps. Enduring tediously paced gametime for almost an hour and realizing that this is it and that your first try was enough to pass all objectives isn't very fun... Opened the new game+ and the map looks not so different. I don't care if it is at least a bit more challenging. Another hour of painfully boring gametime? No thank you.

Good game but has one fatal flaw that spoils it. as you progress through levels it's clear that minions choose a random objective/destination in the task that you selected for them. this results in a nearly unwinnable scenario every time I've tried to progress with different strats. (i.e. minions may take food to the furthest quarters, which prevents efficent resupply of minions). if this behavior could be optimized, or directable by the player, this would be a five star game.

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...?

It is a pretty cool take on a rts esque game. Just don't expect much forgiveness. It's not super fast pace. But don't expand or get caught with no means of defense. You lose too many units, it's a slow and gradual demise. lol Probably going to take more than one try to finish. As it should. Be a short game otherwise. lol.

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.

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.

The game has a good, have a challenge level, but for me the interface is very non functional and ugly. Doesn't have confirmation to remove a build. Change the way for position citizens, add buttons to add or remove a number of citizens in each function. Create a build to store resources, one a place to improve defenses. Drag and put the tile on your base and after you select the kind of build. Reduce the number of action by drag and information and text on screen, because it's not cool.
