While the game offers enjoyable elements for casual players, issues like poor lighting and limited mechanics detract from the overall experience.

Players find the game to be excessively grindy, lacking a clear end goal and often repeating the same tasks. Additionally, there are frustrations with inventory management, as items like purchased beds can disappear without explanation, leading to a sense of dissatisfaction. Suggestions for improvement include the addition of a farming system to diversify gameplay.
“Seems like a grindy game with no end goal other than just doing the same thing over and over again. Oh, and I bought a bed and it disappeared; it never ended up in my inventory or in my truck. I guess the aliens took it.”
“Maybe an implementation of a farming system would be nice.”
