This game is hard but not in an annoying way, you know what you did wrong and you just have to get better. Absolutely worth it's price

Totally worth the six bucks if you like frantic puzzle solving under pressure and don't mind dying over and over and over and over and over. My ADHD brain likes the rush. Edit: Just realized $6 is sale price. I'd say it's worth the $20 too, though that's probably the most I'd be willing to pay, just because it is short and simple.

Fixing machines has never been so tense and as much of an adventure! I'm having a lot of fun with this game. The bonus VR mode makes the capsule come alive, would have been cool if the whole game could have run in VR! Still

Cool premise. has the potential to be explored further or better expanded on. you end up doing scenarios to keep the pod from killing you for longer and longer periods. even have a mode for surviving as long as you can. once you figure out its puzzle loop its just about dealing with the curve balls. while i recommend it for those that love taking that puzzle solving to the most efficient for me it just doesnt feel like enough to hold me for long

requires a learning curve but is very enjoyable to learn each system and troubleshoot in stressful situations unfortunately feels a lot like work for me...
