Gameplay is reminiscent of classic lunar lander mechanics, where players navigate their ship using jets and thrusters to combat gravity. However, a notable drawback is the automatic activation of checkpoints, which some players feel should require player input instead.
- “Gameplay is not dissimilar from the old lunar lander games as your ship fights gravity with jets and thrusters.”
- “The only gameplay problem it has, in my opinion, is that the checkpoints should be activated by the player and not automatically when you reach a specific area.”
