How it feels
Piloting a corpse through a cosmic graveyard with a single button, blending clumsy physics with dark humor and a surprisingly poignant if nihilistic tone.

What players say
Players describe it as a simple one-button arcade game about a dead astronaut dodging asteroids, with physics that take time to learn. Sentiment is split: some call it a fun short distraction, others say it feels too shallow and more like an interactive art piece.
