Graphics are good, and the story is cute.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The initial difficulty (and element of randomness) of the game is too high for my taste. There is no penalty for failure though, which makes it not quite so bad.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It took me several attempts to complete the first mission, and I was unable to complete a second longer mission even after 50 or so attempts. I was unmotivated to &quot;grind&quot; on easier missions to get upgrades to make the second mission easier -- I felt like the second mission should be doable even without upgrades, and I was disappointed in myself to find that I couldn't do it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The element of randomness is the most especially frustrating part. A fast, large asteroid is nearly unavoidable and is completely beyond the player's control."},{"author_name":"Logan","author_uid":"12883","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 3:02am","epoch":1409108220,"text":"A little basic, and a bit unforgiving.\r<br\/>The enemy ships were kind of a pain to deal with, and it felt a little unfair that the asteroids wouldn't affect them at all..."},{"author_name":"43iscoding","author_uid":"35110","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 1:42pm","epoch":1409146620,"text":"Very hard game, but I liked it very much"},{"author_name":"jackyjjc","author_uid":"21428","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 2:19pm","epoch":1409148840,"text":"Graphics is nice but man it was so hard.
