I liked its atmosphere. Even though the graphics are very simple they do the job, the background music is nice and the commands feel natural.\nHere are the things I would improve:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The game needs a tutorial to understand the basic commands. I spent a lot of time just to understand what I was supposed to do. For example: I didn’t immediately understand that staying on the nuclear sign was charging my aircraft.</li>\n<li>Some game mechanics need to be tweaked: mining resources by keeping pressing E is too slow, to have to go back to the main base to charge the batteries and bring back resources get repetitive, etc.</li>\n<li>I played 30 minutes (died a few times) and could build only a couple of radars. It would be nice to balance the game at the beginning to make it more exciting sooner and make the player want to build more buildings. I wish I could have explored more features of the game quicker.\nOverall, this game was interesting and has potential. With slightly better graphics and polished gameplay, it could become really good!</li>\n</ul>\n"}],"results":{"primary":{"i":75,"n":200},"label":"Overall"}}
