How it feels

A quick, quirky space roguelike where each short session remixes alien encounters and star systems for unpredictable exploration and combat.

What players say

Players describe it as a quick space roguelike where sessions last about 30 minutes. The game is simple and runs on low-end PCs, but reviews are split: some enjoy the pick-up-and-play nature, while others find it too basic with little content and unfair random events. Several compare it unfavorably to FTL.
