How it feels

A methodical, arcade-style space game where you scavenge asteroids and craft weapons to defend a crippled station while uncovering a story.

What players say

Players praise it as a precursor to Space Pirates and Zombies, blending mining, research, and top-down shooting with a story. Many note it gets repetitive, the resolution is stuck at 800x600, and there is no autosave.
