This is such an approachable feel and I love how there's 2 ships to pick from. I went with the Gyro (and I'll probably go back for the Hopper). \n\nControls were a bit of learning curve for me and I ran into a bunch of planets. I do wish the planets still had some sort of outline or highlighting when my camera was inside of them because I often fell into planets that I couldn't actually see. I appreciate that \"close enough\" let me complete the missions because I didn't reach the point of getting too frustrated or losing the fun. \n\nOverall, great entry. Thanks so much for sharing!
