Meh

Controls aren't great. Neither is the interface.

Really really want to like it...but...

The game has SO much potential. Like it a lot but...for a small size game it uses a TON of battery and processing. The game after 5-10 minutes heats my iPad Air 2 (yes, the latest) hotter then a brick. Not sure if it has a memory leak or bad optimization but it could be damaging during longer plays. Lot of fun, but until fixed I can't play it much.
Dev...you got a good review on TouchArcade. Please fix your app I think it has so much potential.

Nice universe

I've only just begun playing, but it is very promising so far. I can see myself spending a lot of time in this place. Controls are fairly simple to figure out and handle well enough. I like the contributions of the NPCs, both the space-operatic and the helpful ones. No save issues (I have 1.something gigs free). I was mildly surprised that upon a restart, only my general location (system) appeared to be saved, not the fact that I was at a particular station. Not a big deal, just a bit surprised. Moreover, this game features a key quality I look for in a game (besides no IAP:) it clearly was made with care. Thank you.

Be careful background activity

I played this yesterday and exited the game and put my iPad to sleep. I opened my iPad this morning and my battery had dropped 75%, I went to the usage and it told me that 70% of my battery usage for the last day was background activity going on with this game. I've removed it, perhaps they will fix it, but just be aware
