Liane M. Dubowy<p>Raumschiffe reparieren ist doch lustiger als gedacht, vor allem wegen der schrägen Figuren. Leider hab ich von der Story noch nicht viel gesehen, weil ich immer wieder platt gemacht werde.

Liane M.

So ein Raumschiff ist gar nicht so einfach zu reparieren und wer nicht schnell genug alles richtig macht, kommt hier nicht weit.
