How it feels

A chill space sandbox where you freely trade, explore, and upgrade your ship in a randomized universe with no urgent pressure.

What players say

Players call it a 2D Elite-style space sandbox with deep systems and lots of freedom, but warn of technical issues: some report a very long startup and crashes when changing resolution. The controls divide players too, with some finding them awkward or counter-intuitive. Long-time fans praise the addictive gameplay, multiple professions, and memorable soundtrack.
