It's 2 dolr for at least 2 hours of buildcrafting asteroids. Fun, simple, autistic "master plan" sim.
This game honestly looks really cool, and the style of it is great. But I am really just frustrated with the how the menu is designed, it is very unique in the sense that it is in the form of a concole command. But by golly is it hard to navigate it. Also, I am not certain yet, but I don't see an option to control the ship with a mouse, I might be blind, since the option was available on another game this developer made, SNKRX. And even whe nI turn distortions, glitching, and sound to 0, the music and static is still there after launching the game. I really want to give this game a fair judgment before I reviewed it, but my initial playthrough was just a pain. The distortions, the glitching, and effects are just too much for me.

cool
It seems very well made and deep with nice replayability, having the terminal-like aesthetic and overall good stylization but learning curve is over the the roof for me and lacking QoL features; couldn't figure out how to reset the classes chosen and passives(some clickable to remove, some aren't) cause i thought that "clear" resets savefile for everything, how to see the stat/effects of classes from previous ranks, etc., generally not easy to pick up, the quick tutorial explaining how main things work would be helpful, but once you figure out the mechanics and what does what, it gets pretty fun to explore many different builds and combos
It's fun for a while, but quickly devolves into autoplaying chaos. It's basically impossible to figure out what the most basic things do: I've somehow pieced together overpowered builds that got to 1M points without me touching the controls, but I still don't know what the "ammo" meter means, why it instantly replenishes once it's depleted, why it sometimes empties in a couple seconds and sometimes doesn't seem to empty at all even when spraying around hundreds of bullets...
Don't expect a path of exile replacement, but at 72% off, this is a pretty insane value for roguelite fans
It's simple, nice and short. Dev should go over some of the code again - there are heavy slowdowns above level 100.
The core gameplay is alright, although the general scale and speed makes precision aiming challenging. Obviously the strength of the game is its absurd passives system, which gives excellent replayability. Making a winning build took a little trial and error but was very possible without using a guide or any build advice. Very strong visual style that can border on overwhelming (which I think no one expects from an Asteroids-style game). Definitely good value for the price and clear care put into the design. Feels like an indie hit from a decade ago in all the best ways.
idk, 2 bucks, or 50 cents on sale, you might as well try it but it's not for me personally. I just don't like the controls. you always shoot, and you always move forward, and you just move left and right, and it's super cramped because it's all on one screen, and it's just not for me.
very good game time spent was good trying to get the best skill tree come back when i get it
