There are a number of different ships with their own quirks and features, I really enjoyed the differences they each provided, especially in the multiplayer versus.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
- nice, minimal graphics, I believe it would run on lower-end PC-s and even on smartphones (if emulator/porting heaven comes on Earth)

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Lastly, there's Local Co-op, I wish it was online multiplier, I have a tough enough time joining my steam friends in game (lining up my free time with someone else's) having a friend come over and play on the same machine as me... yeah no, that unfortunately will probably never happen.
