« Cool Idea but needs way more time in the oven. Sounds are pretty weak: no engine sounds, everything is very mellow - it needs way more oohmpf to make you feel like you are controlling a capital ship. Movement is also not heavy enough. »

« Not fun. All the enemies are kamikaze that throw themself onto you. So it's always just a DPS check. It's so boring. the gam needs real balancing between weapons. Everything is bound to RNG so you can spend a full run waiting for something. »
