Interesting premise! It's a decent enough game, nice genre-mix but some improvements could take it to the next level. -Art- Firstly, I think the art needs a little touch up. As it is, it makes the game feel cheaper than it has to be. The first thing I noticed were the edges, they could be smoother. The UI art sticks out like a sore thumb in the corner, they look like placeholder elements. IMO, the ships could have better complementary colors, I can't really say exactly what it is but the colors kind of make it look off and cheap. Maybe slight changes in the color tone would make it feel just right. I can say that when looking at the store page, color decisions kind of put me off but the gameplay ideas drew me in. I think the ship shapes are great, I had no problems with that. -Gameplay- There are great ideas here and it's fine as it is but IMO this game could [b]embrace the shmup[/b] more.

Did you ever wish FTL had a story mode? Ever wonder what it would be like to try and keep a population of 1200k happy? How about trying to calculate if you brought enough portable black holes to deal with this round of enemy ships? I love this game so much. Your story plays out over the parsecs as you explore and fight your way onward. Highly recommend.
