amazing game with a good amount of challenge! the fast respawn and invincibility option is a great touch in game design in reducing player frustration. art and music is awesome too. really well done!
Polished like a diamond. Graphics and audio are excellent, and the control is always just a hair away from being frustrating, which is a line that a lot of games in this style cross to the wrong side of. Even though we weren't able to do better than 1 astronaut remaining, we had a lot of fun trying over and over.
We must have played too much Asteroids, kept trying to hit a reverse thruster, and was really expecting to loop around rather than crash into the walls.
The only change I can really suggest is that it might be satisfying if the meteors were also destroyed in the explosion when you crash into them, but that wouldn't really affect the game at all.
This is really nice! Good art, boppin' music, and I especially like the sfx. The sound of the engine revving up and down as your speed changes is an excellent touch! Restarting is also seamless and makes it easy to just keep playing for ages. I was able to win after about 10 minutes of crashing hopelessly into the walls :D
If I could add one thing, maybe more visual feedback when you save everyone. The sound effect was nice, but if someone has sound off they might not realize the game acknowledged that they won.
Hey GortagonGame, thank you for playing Who Opened The Hatch :D I'm really glad that you like it. It's awesome that you are able to continuously move around at high speed in such a short time!! It looks like you are a natural :D
This is extremely good! The premise and the goal are easy to grasp instantly. The timer integrates well into the game world. The artwork is great and has an unexpected level of charm. The music really helps to keep the energy going. The only downside for me is that I find it difficult to play games that make heavy use of inertia - that's certainly not a fault with the game. It's one of the game's strengths that it will reward repeat players.
My own problems with inertia aside, there is very little I can recommend for improvements and I can see this working well as part of a bigger game.

Very well polished. I love the red glow at you approach the edge to indicate it’s unsafe. Well done.

Very frustrating but also very smooth once you get the hang of it. And art wise very satisfying!
I think mouse support would be good, but maybe it would make things a bit too easy?
Cool visuals and music!
Honestly I'm bad at this type of game with purposefully slippery controls XD
I really liked it. Especially when after 3 minutes, I realized that you can almost always fly at high speed, usually a turn like a brake)
