  • gameplay16 mentions

    Gameplay is described as basic yet detailed, appealing primarily to players who enjoy ship mechanics and progression through career mode. While some find the gameplay interesting and complex, others feel it lacks meaningful progression, as tasks remain largely the same despite increased ship functionality. Overall, the game may not cater to casual players, but it offers depth for those willing to invest time.

    • “The gameplay is interesting and seems complex, and I am going to need to give it more time to enjoy it fully.”
    • “The travelling around in space (done plenty of times before) is a solid gameplay mechanism.”
    • “I don't love the gameplay.”
    • “Having played a bunch, I'm just missing some sort of progression in terms of gameplay.”
    • “Your task is still the same after hours of gameplay, the only thing changing is the complexity/functionality of your ship.”

    • “Even if the environment is transformed into cartoonish graphics with the same physics-based backbone, this will do very well in standalone.”
    • “The graphics are very good and I had no issues with performance; it ran great.”
    • “Of course the graphical fidelity is jank and the constant mirroring whenever you move through doors can be disorienting (which I don't even need since my playspace is actually slightly larger than the cabins).”
    • “The graphics need a bit of work and the world feels a bit dead for my taste.”
