The usual issues of platforming in 3D/FPS are handled quite nicely by the "Hard Hologram Technology" that allows you to summon a platform right beneath your feet for a meager energy cost.
Combat

Between the terraforming, the combat, the gem gathering and everything else there is a lot to keep fingers and your attention busy with.

13 of 124 sampled reviews raised it
Excellent work on the art direction, the lighting effects, voice effects, autotuned announcer, sci fi setting, insect-like hybrid RPG system with +stats and different weapon types.

7 of 124 sampled reviews raised it
Continuing on through the next levels, the game picks up in difficulty, challenging the player to really use strategic shooting, dodging, and making use of their secondary weapons, if they have one.
