“Best described as a space traffic control game, this game is one of those rare gems where a novel idea is well executed with extremely addictive gameplay.”
“Gameplay is in 2D, real-time, and whilst it can get quite frantic, there is a large strategic element required to win the game.”
“Replaying the same level gives different gameplay depending on the strategy you employ.”
“The gameplay is pretty hard; after all, this is a space traffic strategy, meaning that you have to deal with asteroids, smugglers, ships that need mid-flight refuels and repairs, as well as ships that need to drop off cargo for another ship to pick up.”
“The playing area on my monitor is slightly larger than my screen area, so I need to scroll an inch or so to access the edges of the playing area, and I have to say this adds nothing to the gameplay; it's just irritating.”
“Gameplay does get tough, making you take difficult choices on what ships to repair and refuel.”
