What players say
This game is perfect for donuts like me that can't Kerbal but still want to fire stuff into space. It isn't serious with rocket complexity and you get to do dumb stuff like make a human centipede out of mennequins then fire it into the heavens...with dynamite. What more could you ask for? Bonus points for a constant anti-capitalist message and more relevant than ever with the techbroliarchs burning the world for AI...
1 more review, not recommended
There's no nice way to say this: It's mid. The gameplay is ok, the graphics are interesting but nothing spectacular, the story isn't bad but short and nothing exeptional, the rocket builder is kinda limited and it's kinda buggy, nothing game breaking but it can be annoying. It's not a bad game and it has it's charm but there's not enough of it to justify the price tag, get it on sale maybe if you want a nich...
