The game's story revolves around space exploration missions inspired by real-life NASA endeavors, particularly the Voyager missions, which players find engaging and rewarding. However, many users express frustration with the lack of clear instructions for completing missions and the limitations imposed by in-app purchases, which hinder access to additional content.
