I played to completion. It was frustrating trying to nab the first planet - took me forever to run into one without laser enemies - but after that I loved it. The space travel was particularly fun, though some indicator for which planets had already been or had yet to be conquered would be nice. Several times I lost track of what I'd taken and accidentally revisited planets I'd already taken. I got a message saying I'd earned the third weapon but I couldn't seem to switch to it, the 3 key didn't work.
