The game's story is delivered through a series of missions that blend humor with engaging challenges, including timed tasks and procedurally generated content. While players appreciate the replayability and variety, they note that the current offering of 13 missions and 4 races feels somewhat light. Suggestions for future content include more complex scenarios, such as a "space truck delivery" mission, to enhance the narrative experience.
- “The missions are presented with a nice touch of humor.”
- “I just went through all the tutorial missions and I'm really enjoying it.”
- “The game has a good replayability but the content is a bit light for now with 13 missions and 4 races.”
- “Even though it's a little goofy with strange scenarios, I would love to see a 'space truck delivery' mission, where a large cargo freighter arrives in the area and it's your job to pull off maybe 6 or so crates and deliver them to separate ships in an organized fleet of ships.”
- “I wish I could navigate the menu without having to revert back to the Quest controller though...”

The gameplay is characterized by engaging Newtonian flight mechanics in zero gravity, offering a mix of arcade and simulation styles that cater to different player preferences. Users appreciate the well-designed UI, interesting game mechanics like moving objectives and timed explosives, and a gradual difficulty ramp in the tutorial and mini campaign. While the game is praised for its solid experience and charm, some players express a desire for more diverse gameplay mechanics and content in future updates.
- “Much more interesting game mechanics can be found here: moving objectives, objectives orbiting black holes, timed explosives, etc. The tutorial and mini campaign has a nice difficulty ramp which is much welcome.”
- “The flight model is well done and pleasant. It is possible to adjust the difficulty by removing flight assists from the ship, which can make the gameplay arcade and easy to play, or more simulation and demanding (like Elite Dangerous).”
- “Space Docker is a super solid experience - fun but challenging gameplay, simple but pleasing graphical style, with a heap of charm and comedy on top.”
- “But, there is a huge potential beyond bringing up new levels with the same game mechanics again and again.”

- “The devs continue to add usability features making the game better (no jank in this one) and I hope they will also add some additional gameplay mechanics in the future like maybe tugboat type mechanic or mining etc.”
