It's one of those games that you can really play with, if you know what I mean. The mechanics were simple enough to be quickly understood but open-ended enough to feel fun. And the on-screen reminder that enemy ships can be hijacked is a great help; as soon as I saw a ship, I immediately thought, &quot;Uh oh! What do I do?&quot; followed by &quot;Oh, okay, I better do that&quot;. It was a good decision to keep that bit of info out of the main tutorial text near the home planet.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If I have to complain about something, it'd be the difficulty: there's not much challenge to be found here. The enemy ships aren't enough of a threat due to the abundance of asteroids to repair connections with, and the time limit is so large that the game can be beaten 4-5 times in the same session.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>So great concept, great execution, and great game!"},{"author_name":"Forever.derpy","author_uid":"39399","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 11:45pm","epoch":1409442000,"text":"Really good game, simple and fun."},{"author_name":"Skyfish","author_uid":"26006","time":"Aug 31, 2014 @ 2:18pm","epoch":1409494380,"text":"wonderful art style!
