Planets glow against star-speckled backdrops, and the overall art style conveys a playful sci-fi charm rather than realistic astrophysics.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Helionaut's sound design is wonderfully perfect, with cute, gooshy sound effects for the heat of action, and the sound of wind chimes and alien birdsong for when a planet is being explored.
