What players say
This game, as short as some runs can be, is actually pretty fun. Can manage to keep an anxious feel if you're around long enough, though some of the horror can be avoided if you play it safe. But if you play it safe, you won't reap nearly the rewards. (Also I'm a sucker for games like this :3)

I only wish this game could be turned into a rougelite type game then I would sink so many hours into this. This is a genuinely great concept of a game and I can only hope that someone expands on the idea in the future.
Its pretty good. Melted my rover during re-entry after leaving my fusion reactor on, even though there was a heat sink.
