  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are characterized by simple 2D retro pixel art, which has received mixed reviews from users who find the aesthetic unappealing and reminiscent of outdated styles. Many reviewers express disappointment with the lack of contemporary graphical quality and criticize the overall visual presentation.

    • “Let's just assess this as a PC game... 2D graphics, retro pixel 'art' used instead of contemporary PC graphics, terrible control scheme.”
    • “The graphics are very simple and I don't care for the aesthetic much.”
  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring a fun top-down shooter experience with solid ship upgrades and co-op mechanics. However, players have noted issues such as a lack of clarity in tutorials, poorly designed menus, and specific gameplay mechanics that need refinement, like turret placement and thruster functionality. Overall, while the game has potential, it requires further development and improvements to enhance the user experience.

    • “The gameplay is fun, but the turret can be damaged before you place it. This needs to be fixed, and a simpler tutorial should be added to the main menu.”
    • “Great concept! It's gone free to play without in-game purchases. As of now, if people complain, don't listen to them. What do you expect for a free game? It's a top-down shooter set in space, featuring a great ship upgrade and co-op system with excellent space mechanics. However, it needs to be developed for Mac, and the thrusters should change depending on the direction you face.”
    • “Garbage... gameplay is poorly explained and the menus are frustrating.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a map builder and story missions, which are highlighted as significant and enjoyable additions to the overall experience.

  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has adopted a free-to-play model without in-game purchases, which has been positively received by users who feel that complaints about monetization are unwarranted for a free title. Players appreciate the game's mechanics and features, suggesting that the monetization approach aligns well with its overall design.

    • “Great concept and it's gone free to play without in-game purchases, so as of now if people complain, don't listen to them. What do you expect for a free game? It's a top-down shooter set in space, and it has a great ship upgrade and co-op system with excellent space mechanics.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is inconsistent; while the first level runs smoothly, players encounter significant performance issues and frustrating enemy configurations in later levels, which hinder progress and enjoyment.
