A game with lots of background development history. The dedication for quality and continuous improvement by a tiny team shows. Not only does the game feel already nicely polished and mostly bug-free in early access, it comes with lots of power to the players: you can essentially customize your whole game experience from difficulty and limitations to essentially giving shortcuts to skip gameplay elements some might find boring but others enjoy doing. And of course there's the creative mode where you have unlimited ways to play around the spaceship design, and run simulated A.I. battles with your ship designs. And one more testament to the power-to-the-players mentality is the built-in mod and Steam Workshop support.

If I had to say something negative, it would be the music variety. And there are always some parts where the game play, controlling, user interface, etc. could be improved, but those are all very functional already.

A labor of love.
