The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its simple problem-solving mechanics and engaging space setting, while others criticize its lack of proper tutorialization and significant mechanical flaws, particularly with the grab mechanic. Overall, the gameplay is seen as simplistic and in need of refinement, leaving some users feeling frustrated and others hopeful for future improvements.
“This game was awe-inspiring with its space setting and fun with its simple problem-solving gameplay. It's still a work in progress, but in my opinion, it's worth the money.”
“Mechanically, basic grabbing actions are mostly fine.”
“Normally, games would teach you how a mechanic works, but this game takes you to the final stage of a puzzle and just hopes you get it.”
“Mechanically, the game has many flaws, not least of which is a broken grab mechanic that will leave you grasping repeatedly for objects that have become locked in invisible collider objects, or which simply leave your grasp once your hand stops providing the 'grip' buttons with the necessary might.”
“A garden, from which new and exotic experiences spring forth to entice you into the imagination of game designers, whose responsibility it is to safeguard this fledgling industry from the oncoming march of tropes and mechanical issues that rear their ugly mugs.”

Overall, the graphics are generally well-received, with many praising the visuals and the unique concept of viewing Earth from a space station. However, some criticism is directed at certain elements, such as the grainy appearance of the planetoid, which detracts from the overall experience. The zero-gravity effects are also highlighted as a positive aspect of the graphics.
“The visuals were great, and it was so cool to see Earth from the station.”
“On the plus side, I thought the graphics were quite good, and the concept was neat.”
“This one has better graphics, and the zero-g is a nice effect.”
“If the game had used a decent amount of artwork, I'd have been happy to forgive it some of its sins; however, the 'planetoid' around which we are apparently 'orbiting' is a large, grainy blob.”
“Graphically, it looks reasonably decent.”
