-A defensive centered game, all random gear stats, explore the vast universe and find planets full of resources.


-Upgrade your ship and find better gear to eliminate unknown creatures came out of a wormhole


-Exploration: enter a set of coordinates and send your star-seeker to search for gears, crystals, minerals in the universe.


-Every piece of equipment is unique: their stats are all random.


-You don't have to keep playing after you find a planet with minerals; Just send a mining bot there and wait for its output, even while offline.


game story:

A wormhole appeared near the Earth in 2837.

Aliens keep flooding out from this wormhole and they really mean business judging from the weapons on their ships.

The Planet Defense Forces will keep them from entering the atmosphere! All space stations are on full alert.

Aliens are not the only problem; we are also short on resources.

While defending the aliens, we also need to find planets with resources. AX4869-- an AI controlled ship like this one has zero combat capability, thanks to its unshielded hull and weapons designed only suitable for space garbage.

Then people realized it is the most cost-effective ship for exploration, so it's the main ship for space explorers now.

And people call it "The Star Seeker".

A solid 3 star game.
Pluses: random drops, skills and upgrades to help you grow stronger and advance.
Smooth controls allowing for easy game play that is responsive and intuitive.
Creative back story.

Cons: fire rate seemed a bit slow.
Ammo options seemed mostly useless as only 1 did full damage, the others doing significantly less. The time from damage assessment to next shot was nil, making switching to finishing shots irrelevant. The added complexity would add to decision time with typically inferior results. It was rare to find conditions line up to make them viable as a better option.

Variation in drops relatively low, making for slow progress in upgrading equipment.
Shop provided 75% of the opportunities from each battle.
Multi-stat items are difficult to compare without buying and trying, possibly at a huge waste of funds.
No ability to drop down a level makes advancing to the boss levels risky.
Seems designed for phones:
- text hard to read on a PC
- annoying messages to download app to phone on the PC version that can't download them
- tall & narrow playing field when most PCs have a short & wide screen

Very addictive
just one thing: the long vertical screen without a fullscreen mode force me to play hiding the base and the shooter to see the first incoming enemies ... that's a pity
I would add some extra shooting drops by kills during the level :)
hope in a second chapter ;)

I can see this game becoming very addicting. movements are smooth and good animations overall makes for good gameplay.

It's progression is nor too fast nor too slow, it needs more soundtracks because the same one all the time, gets boring, Liked the "Random stats" so you play to aim for the better stuff.
I will think about downloading it on the Phone.

i played a bit (iam at work...) so for the first impression a nicely done top down shooter and the very nice thing is this super tutorial, really, also the technic-trees and stats. Cool game
