If you take the time to share your thoughts it's only right that we read them and give them the attention they deserve. With such a tiny team and with so many players it'll likely already be overwhelming!

This is honestly far beyond what we ever imagined, and wanted to thank everyone who has supported the game so far!

Don't worry - if you've registered already you're all set. You'll receive an email with instructions on how to access the game in a few weeks. You can also invite up to 3 friends to join your crew in the playtest.
