One of the things we are striving for providing as many engaging playstyles to our players as possible.

We have a lot of planned ship customization and meta progression in the work to support that.

Very excited to show off more progress on this topic as those features become ready to show off!

The art style for this is so cute and cozy feeling! You guys did a great job!

This is one of the latest features I've been working on! It's been a constant battle of making it visually engaging while also making the user experience solid.

I'm always looking to hear player feedback!
