Interesting concept but a lackluster experience.

I came in expecting a more modular ship, with spots for armor/weapons/hold/crew, a-la FTL or Project Nomad. Instead, you have (as far as I have experienced) a choice of some ships designs for different stats, 1 main weapon slot, and 1 aux weapon, and the ult beam.

A very LARGE part of the game is also not centered on the ship, but on on-foot island exploration, often using the grappling hook to go to segmented parts of an island, or even larger islands forcing you back on your ship over and over again to go a few meters due to a large wall, or a puzzle segment blocking more of an island. (Also, I know its just for the sake of gameplay, but how do walls even work in a setting where you have *FLYING* ships?)

A frustrating focus on the ground combat & not enough customization of the ship drag this down from a cool little game to an un-fun experience.
