    The basic idea is there but is it enough?
    Star Drifter is not an original idea, but the game is an interesting art style, and that is the main plus.

    The game mechanic is clumsy, but after a while it gets the hang of it. I noted two negative aspects:
    - the game does not give any information about the controls you should use, or a way to configure/personalize them.
    - no possibility of full screen or to understand the resolution you are playing in, or any of that normal stuff in video games.

    Anyway for me, the game was interesting enough to kept me playing for a few hours in a very casual game session. I have to see merit in such a cheap game, and I hope the developer will be able to produce more and better.
