Meeple Station is game #7 from June 2023's Humble Choice, the last of my unplayed games from the bundle, and answers the questions "How do we fill out the bundle to 8 games?"

I actually picked it up in a bundle last year, so I have a free key.

Meeple Station is an isometric pixel-art colony builder/management sim. You build and control a space station.

In this case, build and control are very loosely defined. When I looked at this game, I was expecting to find it was still in Early Access, but no, apparently this bug-ridden disaster area is the release version. Patch 1.0.7 was released in Jan 2022, 1.0.8 was released in July 2022, and nothing else since.

Some nice ideas, but very poorly executed. After 63 mins, I hadn't even completed the 5 tutorials.

For example: You assign crew members to a task, then you have to wait for them to complete that task to move on in the tutorial.

There's no way to force them to do it, you just have to wait... and they just won't do it. I restarted two tutorials, one of them at (as it turned out) the final step. When it happened again mid-tutorial #5, I was done.

Meeple Station has some nice ideas, but:

1: Nope
