“For whatever reason, I love this damn game. I love the art style. I love the story. I love Droose. The puzzles are....at times Monotonous, occasionally annoying, but also challenging, and do increase in difficulty. The…”

“The manual to learn how to fix things SUCKS. You think you are doing it right then its marked as wrong and this game TIMED? hell no. I had to watch a video on how to fix a few things cause it either cuts short or…”

“Pretty fun, but takes a lot of effort to learn some of the modules. And even if you know what you're doing, you'll sometimes get a job that's impossible due to short time limits. Feels great once you learn a few modules…”

“I swear if one more alien tells me to "garble deez nutz" while I'm replacing an absolutely decimated oil pump I'm gonna snap. Amazing game, more people need to play it.”
— a player, Steam review · 27 hrs played“it's a chill game until some mfer lands his ship with a reactor about to go ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nuclear and you have 10 seconds to fix that ♥♥♥♥ before it ends your 2 hour run”
— a player, Steam review · 30 hrs played“Amazing game, worth the buy. Complicated, but once you learn how to do it it's like tying your shoes. The only complaint I have is that there is no endless mode. I'd put hundreds, maybe thousands of hours into this game if there were an endless mode.”
