    The game's story is centered around a compelling concept of space missions that involve intricate repair tasks, but players have noted a lack of content and mission variety, leading to repetitive gameplay. While the initial training missions are well-structured, many players have encountered bugs and issues that hinder progress, such as incorrect mission rewards and resource management challenges. Overall, while the potential for engaging storytelling exists, the current execution leaves much to be desired, with many players hoping for more complex and varied missions in future updates.

    • “The attention to detail, the challenging missions, and the thrill of discovering the unknown make this game a truly unforgettable experience!”
    • “The gameplay has been entertaining and captivating, and I am eagerly looking forward to tackling more intricate missions in the near future.”
    • “This limitation on time for each mission makes the gameplay more immersive and challenging than one might expect.”
    • “This game is a lovely and compelling concept, but it currently completely lacks content; most missions are incredibly similar to each other and aren't challenging at all, like it's scared of giving an actual puzzle.”
    • “Besides the tutorial missions, I haven't encountered a single mission that is not completely bugged (repairs not being registered, pipes that can't be removed, pipes that somehow duplicate, and so on).”
    • “Unfortunately, 9 hours later (68 hours) after completing some more missions around Venus, Earth, and Saturn, I now have no new missions but have not yet gained the completion trophy, so I'm assuming there is more to do.”

    • “The pricing for materials and the repair mechanics seem way off and killed the game for me as I couldn't continue with the training mission, even with not being able to start the mission without 2000 reserve credits for expenses - it just seems a little bit ridiculous.”
