You can't beat level 9 because the train is stuck in an endless loop. Otherwise pretty fun. The retro isometric art is really nice. Kinda reminds me of Raptor. Having side missions is great too so you don't have to play the same missions on repeat to get cash etc. The enemy mercenary story part is also really cool (the lasers are easier than you think... keep your cool for those!) The balance of mechanics seems a bit off vs reward. The mechanism for buying upgrades is more convoluted than it needs to be and you end up just getting better/rarer stuff as drops anyway so the blueprints (at least up to level 9) have been completely useless to me. There are many animation moments that appear to waste a lot of game time (flying into hangar, waiting for the gates to open/close, waiting for your ship to fly off and end the mission, waiting for your reward box to open... why is it even in a box? That makes zero sense... just give the stuff as the reward...). Lastly if you kill a boss and it drops items on the screen there is no time to pick them up before the mission ends. This issue is only present for the final boss and does not affect mid level bosses. Also I did not pay for this app and just played the free version as it appears paying $ just gets you a better ship sooner (you can unlock at least 1 more ship if you beat some levels).
