The gameplay is characterized by a unique sci-fi aesthetic and challenging mechanics, reminiscent of rogue-like titles like Brotato and Vampire Survivors. Players appreciate the variety of weapons and upgrade options, which, combined with short levels, provide engaging and replayable experiences that can last for hours.
“The individual levels are short enough for a quick game; at the same time, the many possibilities to upgrade your ship, increase the size of your space colony, and invest in research change the game enough with any run to keep it interesting for many hours of gameplay.”
“A rogue-like game similar to Brotato/Vampire Survivors with a very unique visual style: pretty backgrounds, ships, and weapon/ship parts but tough gameplay.”
“I've played a couple of rounds, and I am really impressed with the different weapons and game mechanics.”

The story revolves around completing missions to rescue crew members, who can then be integrated into your colony ship to assist in research and upgrades for future missions. Players can enhance their gameplay by strategically assigning rescued colonists to various roles, which contributes to the overall progression and development of their colony. The narrative unfolds as players advance through increasingly challenging missions, with the potential for significant upgrades.
“That brings me to the final part of the review - I'm still on the first mission on the first difficulty level out of 5 for this game.”
“If you complete your mission (or get the upgrade for extra escape pods), you bring back all the crew members you rescued and can add them to your colony ship where they can be assigned to either the hangar, factory, biolab, or shrine where you can assign them to help you research permanent upgrades for future runs.”
“So I'm assuming once you complete your first mission and subsequent ones, you can be nabbing an extra 5 colonists and getting some pretty decent upgrades to help with future runs.”
