The gameplay is challenging with tight controls, but some mechanics, like the color-changing contrails of ships, feel unnecessary and confusing. Overall, the graphics are praised, but the gameplay experience is marred by certain design choices.
“Otherwise, the graphics are good, the gameplay is hard, the controls are tight.”
“At first, I thought maybe the brightly colored contrails left by the ships indicated friend from foe, but nope, they just change colors for no reason at all - total waste of a mechanic.”

Players find the grinding required to unlock new ships and weapons excessively tedious, compounded by a frustratingly small UI in the hangar bay that makes equipment descriptions nearly unreadable.
“Unlocking new ships and weapons is insanely grindy, and the UI for the hangar bay is so tiny that the equipment descriptions are pretty much unreadable.”
