A recommend, with a few "BUTS", because the developer is earnest enough to give this game out for free back in 2020.

$1 is not a lot to pay for a game. Sure, it's a red flag for game collectors such as myself that there is a higher likelihood that it's gonna be junk, but this game presents itself the exception.

There's a few things that make it stand in for an asset flipper, school project or meme game, such as no audio, music that awkwardly stops just as it starts. The additional concepts like worms, satellites and portals that are never explained in the tutorial. The default Unity logo on the program icon. Achievements given out like candy, such as by beating a level (but not by getting fuel cans, which should have been a nice bonus). 30 levels are a favorite in low-priced games, because it sets the standard for Steam it is a serious game and worth not de-listing from the store.

Some nitpicks are: Not explaining that the spaceship can safely land on Level 9 of Arcade for. Not giving a damn about the fake scores pointed out in the discussion forum. The developer could've also unlocked Adventure mode from the get-go, but I do understand it's so players can get a little more acclimated as to what to expect with the environment.

Then, there's the fun parts, and that's everything else. Progressive difficulty increases. The sense of wonder and enjoyment by zooming around space. The precision in getting into tight corners, which is challenging but not impossible. The fuel gauges reminding you that in space, life is precious, and resources are limited.

Definitely a good game that could become great if the developer simply took the time to address the "fake score" cheaters and explained the mechanics of the game better. However, it's truly in no rush.
