  • story
    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “If you're not into endless runner games or are expecting a more in-depth story-based space shooter, this is not for you.”
    • “Those who prioritize story won’t find it here, and as it does technically boast only three main mission types, others may consider it repetitive.”
  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Gameplay is simple; you dodge obstacles until you get to the end of the mission.”
    • “The challenge comes from having to skillfully manipulate these two simple mechanics very quickly to stay ahead of the levels rushing toward you.”
    • “Seems quite buggy as well unfortunately (crashed to desktop a lot for me, and achievements are broken, leaderboard servers also offline limiting gameplay).”
    • “Powerup types are also random, which has a terrible effect on gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay is simple, you dodge obstacles until you get to the end of the mission.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers strong replayability due to its fast-paced, addictive gameplay that encourages players to keep trying for "one more try." However, its limited content detracts from long-term engagement, despite features like emblem collection and survival mode providing some additional replay value. Overall, it's enjoyable but may leave players wanting more variety.

    • “Buy it to have a game with good replayability in your library.”
    • “It's a super-fast, reflex-based endless runner that is as simple as it is enjoyable, as well as easy to learn, hard to master, and even harder to stop going back to the fray for 'one more try.'”
    • “However, collecting all the emblems and the survival mode do offer some replayability.”
    • “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to go back and play again.”
    • “The lack of varied endings or significant choices makes replaying the game feel redundant.”

    • “Bonus: the music is dramatic and I wasn't bothered by VR sickness despite the fast movement in every level!”
    • “The game's music is generic; I recommend turning it off and playing your own instead.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has been reported to have significant stability issues, including frequent crashes to desktop, broken achievements, and offline leaderboard servers, which hinder the overall gameplay experience.
