What players say

Players describe this as a free VR game about building and launching CubeSat satellites. Many report that the tutorial is broken, sound doesn't work, and objects glitch or explode for no reason. A few enjoy tossing parts around and learning about satellites, but even those who recommend it call the execution rough.
