Fun combination of clicker and 2D space shooter with fast-paced arcade mode that is engaging.
No need for microtransaction purchases as diamonds can be earned through gameplay, especially in arcade mode.
Interesting use of real galaxy names and fitting assets; the game has potential and shows attention to detail by the small dev team.

Many bugs and small errors throughout the game, with lack of clear user interface feedback and unclear upgrade effects.
Game feels abandoned with limited content and no immersive story or modes beyond current features.
Poor multiplayer interaction with one-sided attacks and no meaningful communication or counterattack options.
