The first few puzzles themselves aren’t that difficult, as the game provides more than enough explanation as to how to complete them. The benefit of the drip-feed progression is that it forces the player to learn how to play in a specific manner and tackle challenges in a specific way. It’s an interesting mechanic that allows for some experimentation. In order to pass by them undetected, the player needs to manage their ship as to not exceed its limits. The reasoning behind this management system is that environments are filled with a large variety of artefacts that react to sound, heat or electricity. You’ll use the fuel engine to add weight so you can sink underwater, at the expense of creating heat, or use the electric engine to minimise heat, at the expense of electricity.

Each level is made up of a series of connecting caverns that will require you to change parts of your ship. What this results in is, effectively, an uninspiring puzzle game, with no meaningful sense of reward for progression. The puzzles merely require players to find the exit to continue on, which provides with no motivation to explore. Progression is strange as the game slowly unlocks parts of the ship when you need it, rather than finding the upgrades as you explore, as you would in the Metroid games. Surprisingly, the beacon is deactivated which begins a quest to find the next activated beacon on the planet. After crash landing on a planet, the player attempts to contact uexplore via a distress beacon. But those are the aims of these uexplore things to allow people to explore space for them, as cheaply as possible. For the setting, think of the grandeur of exploring the vast emptiness of space, but on a budget.

Related reading: This game comes to us from Nifflas, the developer behind the brilliant Knytt Underground. It’s by far one of the best uses of the Gamepad, even if the accompanying game isn’t that great. The touch pad acts as a control panel, with the player able to switch on different engines, as well as changing the levels of thrust, weight, stabilisation, and many more. Affordable Space Adventures, however, uses the gamepad to manage your spacecraft’s internal systems. Wii U games rely too much on the novelty of being able to push everything off one screen and onto another. Personally, I still feel that the games that have effectively use the Wii U gamepad are few and far between.
