Navpoint is a space action strategy about being a starship traffic controller.
Take command of the Navigos Traffic Control Station and with the help of a fleet of Police Frigates, Customs Clippers and Tugboats. Guide cargoships, couriers, luxury liners and cruisers safely to their destinations.
Build cargo and passenger docks, repair and refuel stations, and defence satellites. Create a solar infrastructure to wring profit from passing shipping.
Sounds easy right? But when you also have to deal with politics, aliens, pirates, smugglers, travelling film stars, terrorists, floods of refugees, sunspot radiation, wormholes, meteors and nebulas, it can get complicated!

I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.
The name in the taskbar is "GameMaker: Studio", they did not bother to change that.
Quickly drives my Win OS crazy everytime, and crashes.
Summary
An airplane landing control tower game set in space. The game mechanics work and it's pick up and play, the space environment sets this game apart from other airplane landing games and it works. It has some bugs and I have a few minor quibbles with the gameplay, but it's worth the purchase.
PROS:
- Fun and absorbing. The game sucks you in as you try and move ships from one wormhole to the other. You have to compensate for inertia, asteroids and even other ships, all while doing it as fast as possible.
- The devs didn't reinvent the wheel, they just made it cooler. You're going to be familiar with the game concepts almost immediately and that's a good thing. Sometimes you just want gameplay mechanics to be tried and true and in this case they are. The difference now is that the mechanics incorporate the realities of space flight instead of terrestrial flight. It's a clever twist on a theme that we know works.
- Station Building. In gameplay terms it's sort of like having to land the airplane while building new parts of the airport at the same time. It adds some tension to the game and makes it far more interesting than your average control tower game. It adds a whole new tactical element to the game because there are potential upgrades if you pass a level, which in turn might make the next level easier.
- Responsive Devs. This isn't really why the game is fun per se but I mention it because this is an indie game and it has some bugs. The steam forum page has a bugs sticky and they listen to the bug reports and send out game patches. They also included a bug reporter within the game so all you have to do is copy-paste the text in the forum to let them know what went wrong.
CONS:
[list]
Take a little getting used to be surprisingly addictive. The only space traffic control game Ive ever played :D
