I received this game from one of several generous giveaways by the author. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the game. It is much larger than I expected, with plenty of areas to discover as you progress in the game. The various graphics don't bother me at all, but if you're more sensitive you may not enjoy it quite as much.

The game makes good use of 3D space, often requiring a little creative thinking to find some of the secrets. In most cases, you can freely roam around the area and get various views of the space phenomena. The graphics are fantastic and the sound goes very well with them. You can tell the craft put into every area; the game is very much an experience.

My favorite part of the game is the map and progression. You unlock several new abilities as you go along, and can collect gems to unlock new areas. Some of them are easy to get and some require more effort. The map is a great feature, showing you how all the areas you've visited are connected and in which ones you still have more to find. There's plenty of replayability if you like collecting things. (Edit: Over 8 hours in, I'm still discovering new areas.)

After two hours as of this writing, it seems the game still has a lot more for me to discover, and I'm excited to get there. Next time the game is on sale I'll get it for some of my friends so they can experience it too. (Though the list price is certainly fair, and I would recommend getting it now if it sounds interesting to you.) Would be fun to have some more achievements for the game though ;)
