The gameplay is a fusion of multiple genres:

- Build your base with blocks, use a simple crafting system.
- Defend your base from the hostile environment.
Also features:
- Fight back by planting mines: the player has no traditional melee attacks.
- Regular checkpoints instead of permadeath.
- Simple, streamlined mechanics allow the player to focus on the action.
- Keyboard and mouse controls: use whichever you prefer.
- A tutorial stage to show you the ropes.
- The spirit of space exploration!

Check out my Steam Curator page, "Minorthreatt Gaming Reviews." I have the most organized and extensive genre lists on Steam!
