This is a really polished game that I can see why so many have spent so much time on! The game's pacing was a little too slow for me to enjoy, but that's subjective as I'm not too familiar with this genre. All the mechanics work well and I appreciate how a loss just takes away some money and your resources instead of a hard reset. This is definitely one of the more well put-together games in this jam. Super job overall!

Ohhhhh I spent way to long playing this :-)  What a pleasant and peaceful way to waste some time.

The graphics were really nice, the gameplay was good and the progression seems well balanced.  I hope you had some more plans for this and that you'll return to developing it later.

Great work for a week!

The game is amazing! It cost me for about 2 hours to play. The looping music is relaxing and smooth. The concept is pretty good!

Very addicting game. Made it to the cotton candy planet after a little over an hour of play and was looking for more universe to explore. Would love to see this grow to an even bigger world, but the pacing does feel a little off in the late game, as increasingly expensive upgrades offer less and less return. The art is very pretty and the music (which sounds like it could be original?) is perfectly suited for the game and sounds great. Thank you for sharing this awesome game and I hope you manage to hit 20 rates over the next couple days.

My game is listed below if you want to give it a play.

I just spent two and a half hours playing this lol. I really like mining games and this one satisfies. The art and music are really good and the game's mechanics are very fun and addicting. My only complaint is that once you reach a certain point, there's really not too much value afterwards. I spent a lot of time upgrading my ship so that I can travel further into space but turns out it's mostly just the same planets. There's only one pink planet and it's not really much better than the others in terms of profit since it ends up costing so much in fuel just to get out there. But regardless, this was super fun to play and get addicted to. It seriously needs more ratings! I'd appreciate it if you would give my game a try too :)

Very nice game! A little improvement and the game would be great.I enjoyed playing it. All the best and Good luck! Do check out our game we need the feedback! - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/574293

Wow, this is the most fun I've ever had playing a game jam submission! I almost couldn't stop playing. The only thing that I'd suggest would be to add more reasons to go back to the "low-end" planets. Upgrades requiring ores only available on certain planets, perhaps?

I like the concept here. Nice work.

I liked it a lot. Was playing it for almost 2 hours and could continue a while. Well done!

Liking the design, The controls were  nice and the graphical style was quite pleasing. After some time the gameplay loop becomes bit repetitive.

I like your graphics and your concept here.  There is fun to be had, but once the initial moments pass, the high fuel use when flying and the increase in price of that fuel starts to make things very repetitive and boring as these values encourage a playstyle of just sticking to the closest planet to spawn and continuing to go back and forth between that and the hub.  Neat concept, but needs a lot of work on the balancing side of things.

Perfect looking art work and amazing audio. The game music is very nice and fits to the genre of the game. Respect.

quiet a challenging game with a good concept! at first i found myself going back and forth to the same planet grinding for some puny money and i was expecting to get more expensive items as i expand my range of planets. i mean i was expecting a little bit more variety of items but i understand that this is a jam game

overall a fun experience. really had the No Man's Sky collect and sell vibes and i always liked that about the game

8.4 / 10

I love this game!

It's quite challenging at first, but after some attempts I learned how to save my fuel ;)

Great work, i love such games where i can mine something and explore a little world. I really liked your game and this little Death Star :)

Really fun game! The mechanics are great. I love when you rocket off a planet.

Nice game, simple concept. Did find myself running out of a fuel at the beginning, but maybe just need practice! 

Very nice. I liked the effects and smooth animations. Although the grinding aspect could be reduced.

Nice work! Interesting game! I found it quite challenging, a suggestion would be to make it easier for newbies, I for one found it difficult not to run out of fuel immediately :D 

I enjoyed this one, it looks really nice!
