What players say

Players praise the core loop of grabbing parts and building a massive ship while shooting enemies, comparing it favorably to The Lab's Xortex. However, they consistently report bugs with the upgrade system, a lack of tutorial, and a punishing difficulty spike in the first level, leading to a split between those who find it addictive and those who find the frustrations too great.
