### 1/5 — Do not download

*2017-12-23*

Do not download. Waste of money. Controls are confusing. Way too difficult. Boring. Wish I could have my 99p back. Waste of space. Don’t know why it exists. 

Again do not download.

### 1/5 — Too difficult

*2017-09-13*

Don't understand the controls

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2017-01-30*

Do not buy this app while the graphics are good.

The player interface control is hard to control there is no reference for direction of travel in any way just don't buy you will be disappointed. 

 If I can get my money back I will

### 2/5 — Good start…needs improvement

*2021-12-15, version 1.0.2*

Cons:
Game is too dark when in the earths shadow.

Prompts/Hints at start are too small, hard to read, and too short on screen. 

Docking “tether” is clunky, you should be able to screen select the docking port you want. It just snaps to the closest point and draws you in, so you have to fight it with thrusters. 

The “Big one” count down is deceiving because small debris strikes your station beforehand wiping your station out. 

Blue and red controls make sense, beyond that it’s a crap shoot which direction is aligned between the structure and controls. 

What are “tanks” for, are they batteries? 

Map is useless, would rather see arrow on edge of screen pointing to station

Pros:
Unique gameplay, very close to an old school game on pc I used to play called Space Station manager. 

Unique modules with varying stats, and progression. 

Almost chill, would like a chill building mode with an additional O2 stat and O2 generating modules.

### 2/5 — Way too hard!

*2018-06-19, version 1.0.2*

He is just way too hard

### 3/5 — Doesn't download to iPad

*2017-07-09, version 1.0.2*

Good game and works fine on my iPhone 6. But will not download to my iPad Air with the latest software 10.3.2. The error says "Cannot download. This app is not compatible with your device". Please fix

### 5/5 — Love it

### 5/5 — 😀😀😀😀

*2020-02-15, version 1.0.2*

### 5/5 — Very cool game

*2019-07-26, version 1.0.2*

The graphics are awesome and it’s like real life, RCS your capsules onto the core and expand. Nice game
