So bad
My insurance company officially blocked my number after the third asteroid incident, BUT BUT BUT my pilot's life is worth less than a handful of space-ore AHAHAHhahahaha. I’ve spent more money on ship repairs than I’ve actually earned, but at least the explosions are cheaper than therapy. WASTE OF MONEY

This game has had problems with controllers for years, with no fix forthcoming. Sometimes it won't let you choose options on screen, and you'll have to use mouse & keyboard. Sometimes it won't detect your controller when starting up a new level, and it's about 50/50 as to whether it'll start doing so after a few seconds or not. Also, for whatever reason, the mouse controls are super floaty. When the controller works, your ship moves responsively like it should. But when using the mouse, your ship will move slower and lag behind your mouse movements a bit. It doesn't even make sense.
What an incredibly dull, lazily made game. You'll quickly notice the numerous typos and new line characters left in. Clearly nobody bothered to playtest or quality check this piece of shovelware. The actual gameplay is very, very, [b]very[/b] repetitive. You have to destroy a set number of asteroids per level, with the amount and health of them increasing each time. They'll frequently spawn off screen and you can't shoot them. There are frequently visual issues and you can't destroy an asteroid without positioning yourself in a certain way. Every five levels there is a boss fight - they're bullet sponges that have a couple bullet hell patterns. Their projectiles block yours which makes the fight needlessly longer. They at least offered a snippet of variety, but the [b]chore[/b] of doing the same level over and over again was not worth it.
