Fun game! Played multiple times, thrusts are hard to use while fighting but I feel that makes it more challenging!

I really loved the game, the cute little emojis were so good too <3 

Sound was fitting too, I loved how everything turned out.

Though I was kinda confused at the beginning because all I could see was just a black hole in the middle of the screen and didn't realize it was an issue with the screen size on some browsers.

Started the game --> Liked the rocket movement --> Didn't cared about narrative --> Started exploring --> Went near Sun --> Went above sun - DEAD

Would love to try again.

Very fun game, I enjoyed the music and battle music and everything fits so well!

Very cool game. if you want you can check my game out

Submitted(+1)

Very cool indeed! The feeling of space achieved by having to travel distances to the next mission is very well done! The only tiny thing I would (personally) change is for the camera to zoom out during combat so that the enemies are visible for longer (or attach a zoom to the mouse wheel), but that's nitpicking, really loved this game! Good work. Check out my submission if you get a chance. Cheers! :) 

Developer

ohh really good idea. I’ve been trying to think of a way to prevent scale changes

Submitted(+1)

What I'd go for is a second zoomed out camera attached to the player ship the whole time with a higher priority than the main one but deactivated, then activate it through script when combat is happening (or indeed just attach the mousewheel function to the one camera.) But like I say nitpicking :) 

Developer

thanks!

Awesome game, amazing story, very impressed.

Developer

thanks!

Amazing game! I liked all of the aspects. I was sad to see it end. I hope to see a sequel!

Submitted

the game is fun even if it's short , and the ending is cool i liked it a lot, well done!  

Developer

Thanks!

Very cool, I didnt manage to beat the boss however, I didn't really get if I was damaging it or not but the game is rly fun

Developer

hi, I should’ve clarified. You deal damage to the boss by hitting its crystal at the center. However, your bullets don’t auto aim for that. Hope this helps.

The game was amazing overall. The only issue was with the combat system. I died  A LOT... or maybe I'm just bad at games.. idk. i had fun playing this. You should definitely improve this game.. In short you did an excellent job.

Cheers!

Developer(+1)

thanks a lot! Yeah, I don’t have time to create a shop system which is a shame,

Nice visual =) 

Submitted(+1)

the game is great but the combat chould be a bit confusing cause of my small sceen. maybe zooming in and out chold be added. but otherwise this is an amazing game

Developer

oh sorry. I didn’t account for the screen scale. Thanks for the reminder!

Submitted

Now this is what i call great art work. Amazing! The audio and Ui is also absolutely  nice. Hats off!

Got stuck after getting into the hole :|

Very smooth and beautiful game however

Developer

oh, could you describe the problem? Which hole is it? Because scene change depends on collision, this might be a physics problem. Glad you enjoyed it though!

Submitted

Nah, I just don't know where to go :P
Right in the first "twist" at (1000;1000) coordinates

Developer

ah, your coordinates should be at the bottom of the minimap

Submitted(+1)

I know, I just don't understand where are the target coordinates, ended up flying around aimlessly. It's actually pretty important to show your target somewhere if you accidently missed the dialog

Submitted(+1)

Really funny game

Submitted(+1)

Great art and enjoyable gameplay. It would be nice if it was a bit longer but in overall it's a fine game

Submitted

I couldn't get past the main menu :(

Developer

You could start the game with [spacebar]. If pressing it scrolls your page, you could play on fullscreen or try clicking in the frame before starting. Hope it helps.

Submitted

alrighty, I'll give it another go :)
