So, it's a rogue-like asteroids semi-clone, with an 80s Macross/Robotech feel to it split into 5 "seasons" which consist of 5 sectors each having a randomly generated design. Die and you have to go back to the first sector of that season.
As you play through the sectors you accumulate upgrades for your ship and collect partial or complete blueprints for other parts. The upgrades are lost when you die, but the parts unlocked form blueprints will be available for sale from then on.
What can your ship do? Well the one function shown in the trailer was the "juke" move, where your swing your ship up out of the screen to dodge shots/missiles/enemies, which become very useful against the stronger Imperial "Hammerhead" ships that you begin to encounter. My favourite so far is the heat resistance upgrade, so then you can hide in lava and use it to attack your enemies. VERY useful against the extremely tough Sentinals.
I finally managed to clear the first season after about 3 hours of play (and streaming on Twitch if anyone was watching), and the sector 5 boss was stupid hard, but not impossible. Just remember you can use the boost with reverse thrusters while blasting at it. It sounds much easier when I say it though!
Enjoyed the first few hours of play but need a break for a little as it got quite intense!
10 minutes of play, possible spoilers:
