The gameplay is characterized by floaty and unresponsive controls, a lack of targeting indicators, and poorly telegraphed enemy attacks, leading to a frustrating experience for players. While it offers simple, arcade-style mechanics reminiscent of classic games like Asteroids, the overall execution is marred by a lack of clarity and polish, despite appealing to fans of high-score chasers and quick, casual play.
“If you're a fan of high-score chasers, instant gratification, fast and insane gameplay, and the ability to quickly pick it up in-between your daily routine... this is it!”
“Sci-fi twin stick shooter with arcade gameplay in the style of the classic Atari game Asteroids.”
“Simple, arcade gameplay, which is great for anyone like myself that loves Asteroids on PS1 to get to feel that again with more content added to it.”
“The controls are floaty and unresponsive; there's no targeting reticule or indicator of the direction the ship is aiming. The enemies spawn and attack with no telegraphing or warning, almost nothing is actually explained to the player in terms of mechanics, and the music, visual style, and UI are all over the place.”
