To be honest the idea of a sex-scene in pixel art style is in and of itself a turnon and I can't wait for the day I find a good one.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
It honestly is pretty satisfying when things finally click because the hitboxes are good and the inputs are very responsive.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

On a different note, the OST it's great, and the game looks pretty good, it sports very sleek portraits and neat sprites for the ships.
