The gameplay is well-structured, featuring an integrated tutorial system that gradually introduces mechanics through instructional circles, ensuring players are well-prepared for new challenges. With a playtime of around four hours, the game offers tight twin-stick action, engaging level design, and a deep ship-building mechanic, all while maintaining a strong focus on core gameplay elements. Overall, the pacing and clever use of gameplay tricks enhance the experience without overwhelming the player.
“The instructions are available more frequently in the earlier levels of the game to help ease you into the mechanics of the gameplay gradually. Whenever you encounter a new type of level, upgrade, or mechanic, as long as you read these tutorials and hints, you'll never encounter anything you haven't either learned about via an info circle or been given a suggestion regarding a method to bypass.”
“A tutorial integrated nearly seamlessly into the gameplay of a game is always good nowadays when games are delivered primarily digitally. People typically start games without reading a manual, even when a PDF manual exists as a direct link on the game's Steam store page or when right-clicking the game in the library view.”
“Really solid and tight twin-stick action, with deviously crafted levels and RPG development mechanics.”
“This game is fairly short, around 4 hours of gameplay.”
“The neat tricks on offer - secret destroyable or passable walls, bonus exits, etc. - are used sparingly enough that the core gameplay is always front and center.”
“Pacing is just right, deep ship build mechanic, engrossing.”
