The story aspect of the game is seen as having significant potential, with players expressing a desire for more interactive and varied missions beyond the repetitive waypoint navigation. While the inclusion of real voice clips adds authenticity, the lack of control over the shuttle and the ability to design custom missions detracts from the overall experience. Users feel that enhancing these elements could elevate the game's narrative and engagement.

- “I made up my mind to try a mission, and it was an engaging experience.”
- “I would love to see more interactive and diverse missions, allowing users to design their own adventures.”
- “An okay game with much potential, but the somewhat poor textures on the space shuttle, simple and repetitive missions, and lack of options (to turn the sound down, increase graphics, etc.) just narrowly bring the game down.”
- “Looping audio for missions gets a tad annoying when you have to repeat the mission so many times.”
- “I would also like to see more interactive and different missions, instead of just mostly hovering on different waypoints; maybe users could also even design their own missions?”
