The verdict
A free, tiny Asteroids-style space sandbox with planet landings and ship upgrades. Fun for a few hours, but slippery one-thruster controls and thin content will turn off anyone wanting depth or goals.
Great for
Players wanting a free, casual retro space shooter to kill a few hours
Main risk
Slidey one-thruster controls and a lack of goals or content make it boring or frustrating fast
What players love
Fun Asteroids-style physics and combat
