Navigating the galaxies is frustratingly hard.
One finger touch moves forward, but it makes very hard to touch a point and see what it is. I keep selecting something past it, especially for large dots, which I'm curious to see what they are.
Rotating the device changes the direction but it's hard to point towards a specific star.
On the good side it's very nice to look at. I wish there would be something as fast as this for navigating real galaxies, with of course better controls.
- Varriount 2y agoAlthough I agree that navigation via device orientation makes some navigation aspects difficult, I also find it oddly fascinating. It's like my phone has become a window into another world.
