How does your game fit the theme?
The game starts off by letting the player feel like there is not much going on, but once the storm starts rolling the player finds themselves with an urgent need to keep the command station and their ship repaired until the storm has fully passed.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything except the label font was all made from scratch. The label font was a font called "Upheaval" made by Brian Kent.

interesting game ( ˶°ㅁ°) !! you should consider adding a cover image and some screenshots
Nice handling of edge cases, flipping the ship around at the edge of the playable area (and doing the same when running into the space station). It was a fun time zipping around at max speed and actively trying to avoid the storm shelters so I didn't get slowed down. Great job getting all these pieces together on your first jam! I look forward to seeing what you're able to pump out in your next jam.
Thank you for trying out my game! I appreciate you taking the time to play around with it and providing feedback. I had a lot of fun for my first jam. I ended up learning a decent amount just from trying to adapt my idea to fit within the time constraints. Hopefully I can use that to improve my way of doing things to be better prepared for next time. One thing I wish I did was spend more time setting up before the jam started. There’s definitely some moments there where I could have saved myself some time.
I don't think I was able to fully grasp it, but I like the music and graphic style, it's also pretty fun to fly around.
Thank you for trying it out and telling me what you think! I’ll probably go in and fix a lot of the bugs when the voting is over tbh. I was running behind on some of the features I was working on unfortunately, but I think the concept is still there. It’s mainly just: keep the station and ship repaired while the storm passes through. I can see bugs with the damage and repair rates though.
