You float through a gently absurd galaxy, poking at silly planets with no pressure to win, just to look and smile.

What players say
Players describe it as a surreal, goal-free exploration toy from the late 80s, best enjoyed with children watching. The monochrome graphics and locked small window frustrate some, while others find the bizarre worlds and sound design charming and full of discovery.
