Bought it yesterday, it's pretty fun. The game doesn't have many parts, but they are all extremely customizeable. For example, you can change shape, size, texture (and even its alignment). You can skew the 3d models with advanced editing, etc. That rover cockpit in the above screenshot is not a pre-made part.
That being said, it does have some parts that vanilla KSP lacks. And those are robotics. Hinges, pistons, rotators, you name it. Feature-set is surprisingly similar. I say surprisingly, because KSP got some of them after years of development or not at all. Orbital nodes for planning? Check. But also, you can choose to automatically execute them! WASD rocket control? Check. But also, you can rotate the compass thingy seen above to make your rocket follow that heading precisely, no need to fiddle with WASD for smooth ascents!
Of course, many high-level features are missing, like fuel mining, science gathering, humanoids to control (but they do have a test dummy with sensors), etc. Right now, it's simply a space vehicle building game that allows for almost infinite creativity thanks to part manipulation tools, and I hope it will have great future!
