TL;DR: It's kinda fun, probably worth the $2.99 for a few hours of amusement. Lacking polish in a lot of ways, but still a fun implementation of a neat concept. This game really feels like an early access game. Either that, or a legitimate arcade game where the game is intentionally challenging because the developer wants you to pop another quarter in it every time you die. Even after looking up the controls, the gameplay instructions are not very clear; it took me a few minutes just to realize I was supposed to be commanding the colony (HINT: Tab & Number keys). After getting that it all sort of unfolded, but then I ran into the problem that I really had no idea how to improve in the game. As far as I can tell, the different paths on the warp map are simply that- different paths, neither really preferable to the other in any evident way. That last thought leads well into my general take on this game; while all the individual things are kinda cool, a lot of them feel poorly defi...

Game has some potential. Just needs some polish. 1. An explanation of the weapons and upgrades. 2. An explanation of enemy ships and weapons 3. The controls are awful. It should be RIght handed for arrows left hand for shooting and commands. The left hand is moving your ship and issuing commands. The right is just holding spacebar and secondary. Thus the left is doing too much and the right not enough. Or allow user to input what keys they want to use. Or even use mouse to aim.

I wanna like it, but I'm sorry, this game is just. Not. Balanced. It's otherwise right up my alley, and I got it on sale for a buck fifty, so I'm gonna go ahead and support the dev with a like and not get a refund. However, the fact that you have to basically start the campaign over to try a new strategy once you get stuck on a level kills it for me.

It needs a bit of tweaking to make more reasonably challenging (i get stuck at the same area constantly) and I'd love to see fleet customisation a bit but it's worth the pocket change it's asking for :)

fun game but far to difficult. if its meant to be an arcade shooter it should be treated more like one.

Game is fine, but has few major problems. 1. VERY unbalanced 2. Music doesn`t represent gameplay And yes, I can help solve these problems.

It's fun, but pretty hard and there is no option to change to easy mode. Expect to die a lot!

Controls are clunky and a small tutorial or tutorial text is needed. starting difficulty is high and resources available seem way to sparse to be able to compete.

i ve been p;laying this game for a hour and have enjoyed this game but i feel that this game is a bit diffcult AND i think it could more units to bulid eg ship boarders or it allows you upgrade other ships and change there AI eg units that do stuff with out orders.
