Can you play my space game

I have too much of a headache to go and find a link to it. It's called Spaceman's Luck and it's woefully unfinished. I was trying to make a minimal 4X game but it just lacks too much. It needs more things and I don't know what should be done because there's too many choices for things to add. I want it to just be like master of orion or something but you don't need to manage fleets/construction/population transferring, like I fucking hate that aspect of it. For pity's sake can you play it and tell me what is wrong with it, what jumped out at you. I can name the things I personally don't like about it

  • Lack of the ability to wage war
  • No tutorial
  • Space in the UI to the top left that isn't being used
  • Nothing to show you why points or colony cost go up or down, also nothing to show the bonuses you get from race/upgrades
  • Bonus of income per planet type is too strong
  • Literally everything else. Planets don't matter at all, you don't colonize planets at all. There's like 5 types of planets How the fuck am I supposed to remember all of this? The human brain can hold 3-4 things in memory at once. I have so much other shit I need to deal with outside of this and I write it down on yellow note things and it fills up the whole note, I have multiple notes stacked on top of each other. By the time I get to thinking about it I'm already making a reddit post or gone off and done some other fucking bullshit when the only thing I actually need to do is work on the game
