The gameplay is pretty neat but has wonky physics that can surprise you. Moving your spaceman feels tricky at first. There are simple controls but some things don’t behave how you’d expect. It’s not complex but enough to make you curse sometimes. Barely any tutorials either, so figure it out as you go.
Playing without any special loadout is possible, but a good balance of speed and shield helps. Some players swear by boosting weapons early. Honestly, there's no perfect build, but stacking durability makes the game a tiny bit less maddening. Save up resources, don’t waste them on anything unnecessary.
Learn the tricky spots by memorizing enemy spawn points. I found it helps to avoid unnecessary fights early on. Use the slow-down power-up to get through tight spots. Keep practicing the same level, it’s the only way to get better fast.
The story is not very deep, just a simple quest to get across the galaxy. Some levels are puzzles, others are just dodging things. The ending feels abrupt and leaves you wondering if it is worth the effort. Still, it’s a decent space game to kill time with if you don’t mind the annoying bits.
