Only one colony survived, carrying four prototype ships they are travelling to save what it's left of the other colonies, and taking as many Starians as they can on their way.

https://youtu.be/xOC3zmhoPXc Providing long gaps between enemy waves leaves the player with nothing to do far too often.3 found this helpful
Much is needed to make the game better. It plays like something you'd find for free off of Newgrounds. Much that needs to be described in the game (such as the mechanics) is left on the "How To Play" screen, opening the game on a tutorial would be nice, as would some narration. This appears to be somebody's first game, so I'm not going to be as bold as to accuse them as pumping out some ♥♥♥♥ for the key store, even though I acquired it through a key bundle I bought from one of those stores. Such is the price of the grey market - people's work don't want to be forgotten, so it's better to give it out for practically nothing to these distributors rather than be forgotten to the sands of history. But I'm rambling. Knitted PIxels -- the guy who made this game -- still appears to be interested in making video games so I'd implore him to don't stop here, and hopefully what's been done since has been better. I've been through worse games, and whatever brings someone to the point of a keystore deal can be brought back if they push through hard enough.1 found this helpful
Im Sorry to say that at lest on my rig that THIS GAME SUCKS! The reasons are as follows, 1 there is no way that I could see to chaange the conrtols on the keybord. 2. there is no tutorial as to how to play ether the campan, or the survivl mode. 3. There is no way "at lest from what I could see" to learn how to play this game, because half the time whan you start the first level you ether get hit by a rock distroying your ship or the screen just goes black, and you can't see. So in short this game could be a lot of fun, but it still needs a lot of work.1 found this helpful
Good for a VERY short match with some friends. Not a long game, not a lot of content. Would not recommend buying it for more than $1-$21 found this helpful
It's a barebones coop asteroids with a bit of base building. This game seems like there is something more, but it fails miserably to cooperate and convey the mechanics. On a side It's an example of a dev that failed and moved on, instead of choosing the assetflippery route. Hope they found a decent job outside the gamedev. Don't buy abandoned shovelware though.
Crashes every time too many moving objects start to show up.
