“It’s a cool inventory management game with lots of different combo possibilities. It’s not very difficult, and if you read everything carefully, you can beat the levels quite easily. If you make a mistake, you can…”
“A really fun and unique puzzle game. A bit too dependent on RNG for some things like getting the energy-related events during vacation. But overall have a great time with many different characters and strategies.”

“First: My playtime is wrong, because I play mostly offline on my Steam Deck. I currently have 13/46 achievements (hope that's public?). Run history shows 7 runs, so maybe 6h of real playtime. I thoroughly enjoy the…”
“I've played through 5-6 games, and each run felt very different. For example, one game I got a strength buff for being under 10hp, and then I got an event to trade Max HP for shield. So I dumped all the max HP and I was…”

“Solid game. I've beaten it with each ship and a handful of different pilots, but now it's starting to get a bit boring because future runs feel kind of the same. I think the game needs more meaningful content and/or…”
“Mechanically really good fun, the ability synergy is great to play with. The progression and balancing is a bit underdeveloped. For the price, well worth it.”

“This was a really great game for so many cool reasons: 1) each character had their own unique charm, not only by possessing different special skills or character bios, but by having different art styles (presumably by…”

“A solid idea for a game. The first two runs were pretty fun but after that all future runs felt the same. The game needs to find a way to get more variety between builds and runs. Because of this it got really boring…”
“Didnt really like it, was hard to understand what the heck modules and things did. not intuitive UI. ultimately felt like "just another roguelite" but punishing without the core gameplay loop that kept me wanting to…”

“Surprisingly good game. Creative ideas for enemies and mechanics. It's such a simple idea but it works - or rather, it works well enough to keep you interested for a while. I actually think there's so much potential…”

“I’m really impressed, scratches exactly the right roguelike itch. A few hours in, feels well balanced, different playstyles, pilots and ways to win. Initial runs until you unlock higher difficulty maybe slightly too easy for experienced players, but still makes you think.…”
— a player, Steam review · 25 hrs played“The gameplay is solid. It’s simplistic with little variance, but that works well here. I absolutely love the inspiration from Slay the Spire and FTL. It clearly draws from both, yet still manages to introduce its own unique mechanics instead of feeling like a clone. That said,…”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Very fun. Instead of a rougelike deck builder, it's more of a rougelike engine builder. Good aesthetics and variety, and combos and synergies are very satisfying to pull off. It's maybe not quite up there with the greats of the genre, but it's pretty damn good and a bargain at…”
