Also It never gets boring so you can grind! It hits diffrent while traveling. ### 5/5 — Arena *2025-12-13, version 3.0.0* Arena and music is glitched ### 5/5 — Amazing game! *2025-11-12* The game is fun and amazing i just feel like you should update the game more often like more factions, more ships. Just more content in general :) ### 5/5 — PvP could use some work *2025-10-17, version 3.0.0* Great game overall, lots of fun with all the customization and such, but the pvp match making system is a bit unbalanced right now, quite a bit of the time I’m matched up with players WAY outside my league, but other than that I have no complaints ### 5/5 — Nothing to complain about *2025-09-10, version 3.0.0* The game is great, I love how it operates and the game physics are quite realistic, the different ways you can set up your ships are virtually endless, with so many unique ships and modules you will never be able to uncover every possible combo that can be made Great game overall, it offers a great challenge and I would highly recommend this game if you’re into space combat. ### 5/5 — This game made my childhood fun *2025-09-08* I have played this game for years, and its still as fun as it was before. The only thing I hope is that this game keeps getting updated! ### 5/5 — Fun. *2025-06-14* Game is great, nothing much to complain about. ### 3/5 — Star stuff *2025-03-23, version 3.0.0* Cant buy more battles with EXACTLY 10 STARS ### 5/5 — Icl ts pmo *2025-03-23, version 3.0.0* Ts pmo icl ### 5/5 — Top tier *2025-01-28* This is my all time favorite mobile game (not glazing). There are so many reasons I love it, ship customization, progression, the ships themselves(Beholder especially), the diverse ship parts and the list of ships so long it's almost annoying to navigate. Though my absolute favorite thing about this game is the stars, the second currently that games use to make money off of you, why is it my favorite feature? Because they are actually attainable without spending money, and no, it's not like a "here have 1 star!" At the beginning of the game or after 100 levels. If you save up for say, 50 levels and do a few scavenger hunts you can have around 80(which is actually a pretty good amount considering how many things they're used for). Speaking of scavenger hunts, or whatever they're called, they can be a bit boring. Something I'd like to see is asteroid clusters around some of the loot. Anyways, thank you for this stupidly underated game, I will be spending money on it and playing for probably another however-long-I-live.
