    The story aspect is described as short but engaging, with players expressing a desire for more missions and components to enhance their experience.

Overall, there is enthusiasm for expanding the narrative possibilities within the game.

    • “I am eager to try it with more components and missions!”

    • “God, I wish I had 500 more missions and components to play with today.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is generally well-received for its educational value, helping players grasp school-taught mechanics that are hard to replicate at home. However, many users report issues with the teleportation mechanic, which can be inconsistent and frustrating, often requiring multiple attempts to align correctly. Despite these drawbacks, the game is still recommended for its overall experience.

    • “It can help you understand mechanics that are learned in school and that you can't reproduce at home.”
    • “The game is pretty good for the little bit I played; however, it has a lot of issues including the teleportation mechanic. If you are slightly looking left or right when teleporting, it does not stay centered to that teleport location, so I found myself teleporting quite a few times just to get the game to face me towards the table.”
    • “Good, but everything I can think of won't work. I follow the steps and it won't work. Plus, the teleporting mechanic is a little wonky, but overall I recommend it.”
