I've really been enjoying this game. It's been recommended to me so many times I've lost count and, well, it's all pretty much deserved. I'm not sure how it works "solo", but I've been playing co-op with my son and we've enjoyed the hectic nature of running around to the different posts and deciding out loud who should be doing what. I'm often the one attacking the enemies (combat stations) while he does the engine (flying around) and shield (defense). We've reached the first boss and I'm curious to see if/how things change in later levels/worlds... I get the sense that, we've sort of tapped out to an extent? Each station on the ship has space for gems that modify what the station does - and we've unlocked the possibility for each station to have two gems installed which broadens the possibilities even more. However, I've noticed that we're sort of comfortable with our current options and all our stations are chock-full with gems already. In fact, we have gems lying around that we don't like that much (the steel ones). So, what will happen next? Will we get a different ship? Different kinds of gems? More of the same? I'm curious to find out... (and no, I don't want to research this either, I want to be surprised!)
