Top critical reviews

“It's an ok physics based game where you control a UFO with weird controls in an increasing rage inducing stages, but the only real reason to get and play this was for the Steam inventory but since they were turned off like 2-3 years ago…”
“This game although very very simplistic was engaging at times, however lacked content and substance. Most of my hours are AFK. 2/10”
