- “The visuals are very good.”
- “The graphics at least felt kind of decent, judging by the tutorial room I couldn't get out of.”
- “A zero-g adventure/FPS should be a no-brainer slam dunk, but the ham-fisted delivery here ruins the hard work that went into the theme and visuals.”
- “Would try again if the developers made customizable controls a thing, since the graphics at least felt kind of decent, judging by the tutorial room I couldn't get out of.”

- “The gameplay lacks coherence and direction, making it frustrating to engage with.”
