Pros
Pro Roguelite gameplay elements gives the game longevity thanks to the randomization
Randomized star map, enemies, and loot that allows the game to stay fresh and appealing, as you never know what will happen the next time you play.
Pro No IAPs, you get what you pay for upfront
It's a straight up purchase for the entire game meaning you receive all of the content, all for a singular price.
Pro Plays very much like the popular game FTL, whch should appeal to those familiar or who are fans
For those waiting for FTL to hit android devices, this is very similar: you take your ship, progress through star systems, defeat enemies, gather resources from their remains, upgrade your weapons, take on and complete quests that require you to travel to specific star systems.
There is no subsystem targeting or crew management.
Pro Addictively challenging gameplay where "just one more game" is a constant
You will die, a lot, and that is the point. The game is challenging, but fair. It is as much about memorization as it is about precision of movement. This makes for a game that needs to be practiced, quite a bit, which should appeal to those who enjoy working for their achievements.
Pro Aggressive aesthetic that forces the player to adapt to succeed, which keeps the gameplay interesting
The visual design of the game consists of basic geometric shapes in bright colors that turn and blink, all while you are trying to stay focused on a little triangle in the middle. This can be distracting and is by design in order to try to trip up the player in their goal of continuing as long as they can.
Pro Great soundtrack that complements the gameplay perfectly
The soundtrack is done by BossFightSwe, who is very well known for their video game sounds.
Cons
Con Game can get fairly easy to breeze through if you figure out the optimal ship configuration
It starts out very challenging, but as you level up your captain and better ships become available, the difficulty doesn't ramp up enough to keep the challenge going.
Con May cause nausea
The fast spinning graphics could cause some people a bit of nausea.
