How it feels
You manage a space station's defenses and resources while piecing together a mysterious alien technology that has stranded you in an unknown time and place, all under the constant threat of unseen hostile ships.

What players say
Players describe a short tower defense with a research system that snowballs into overpowered upgrades, making later runs trivial. There is no tutorial and the single level, while replayable due to random asteroid placement, feels repetitive after a few hours. Performance is praised, especially on older hardware.
