Must Play
Awesome Game
Great concept and decent mechanics, but could us improvements
For reference: I’m about to give some critiques, but I’m one guy, and no professional. Additionally, I’m not trying to hate on the game, I’m just trying to give a list of things the developers might want to keep in mind for the future.
To start:
- some UI readjustments could be useful. I know a big “watch add” button will deter lots of people, so maybe hide it in a menu, such as the pause or game over menu.
- visuals are pretty good, but could be better. Even the smaller things, like making the fire on the ships a particle type system, or adding some shadows to the boulders, can make the biggest difference.
- the controls are a bit jerky, and some smoothing, or alternate control schemes would be nice
- some gameplay differences would keep interest longer, and changing some stats on different ships souls five people something to grind towards.
- the reticle of the ship is useful, but like the controls, it kinda bounces all over the place
- adding some small screen effects, such as green on the edges when you pick up an item, or a transparent red flash when you take damage, would be nice
- finally, having some sort of shield l, or multi life system would make the game play a little more engaging
Again, please don’t take this negatively. This is a great game, especially for how recently it was released. I hope for your success.

Wicked game!
This game has it all! The visuals, music, and graphics. I’m addicted. What a great game
Fun game, but has issues.
Running on iPhone X, iOS 14.4.1
Frame rate often drops dramatically for no apparent reason. Sometimes there are many items on screen and the game plays smoothly. Other times the frame rate drops dramatically, like under 20 fps. Best way I can describe it is like playing a AAA title on a 10 yr old pc with no graphics card.
Frame rate always tanks when approaching the end of a level. Again, FPS dropping to below 20.
In game music functionality is hit-or-miss. Music worked fine a few days ago. However, I’ve played for a few hours today and in game music would not play. Restarting the app did not resolve the issue.
In game sound effects have never worked for me. There is a toggle in the options menu, but it doesn’t do anything. No SFX play when collecting gems or power-ups. No SFX play when firing lasers or crashing or destroying asteroids. I’m sure your audio engineers would be thrilled to know that their work is going unnoticed in a public release of the game.
Controls are extremely frustrating. If your finger slips off the screen, your ship will either climb or nosedive dramatically to “re-center” when your finger touches the screen again. For example, let’s say I’m strafing left or right to avoid an asteroid in the center of my screen. If my finger slips off the screen, my ship will immediately jump back to the center of the screen as soon as I place my finger back onto the screen, resulting in me hitting the object I was trying to avoid.
Why not just leave the ship where it is so that users can readjust their grip if needed?
Not sure if this was intended, but play-through progress is not saved. Did you play for an hour and get to level 15? That’s too bad, because you will get sent straight back to level 1 as soon as you return to the game’s title menu. Same thing goes for when you change a ship. Wanna try a new ship? Back to level 1. All the levels after lvl 1 are locked behind paywalls. What’s even more frustrating is that the game will save your scores from levels completed, but you cannot go back and play those levels unless you A) pay gems to unlock the level directly, Or B) reach that level again during your play through. Why even bother tracking my stats for each level if I have to pay to access that level again?
I hope the devs see this review as all previous reviews are 5-stars while offering no insight into the gameplay or user experience.
