I'm definitely interested in this one. It looks like a good time crunch game (which my friends and I tend to enjoy), but without the 'Hey, it's another new player, time to truck through the tutorials...AGAIN' that happens with Space Alert.

The one thing I see looking at the picture is a game the that takes 2 hours to setup, 1 to play and 1 to put back in the box. Very much like Firefly. The tracking App does sound cool though. I think we will see more games that interface with tables and phones in the near future.

I wonder how it compares with Galaxy Defenders.

Not really comparable. This is focused entirely on the big picture strategic decisions. There is no playing the tactical battles.
