How does you game fit the theme?
the player is not alone in circumstances that would make him believe he is. the game forces the player to interact with other alien species that may or may not be friendly
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code was made by us but some assets were made using generators.

I liked the mood and atmosphere.
Thanks for the comment
Overall great game, I liked it. I found a little bug, when I shoot "start" at the beginning and then quick shoot "exit" game just freeze and I can't do anything. But that's a minor bug which has nothing to do with gameplay. Good job!
Thanks for playing and for the comment. SO that bug you encountered is because the quit button is for the windows build and in webgl it just stops the game but yeah in future we could make 2 separate versions for the builds but with limited time we just left the exit button in, incase people downloaded. Thanks for playing though i appreciate it
cool game but idk how to get gold
Thanks for the review. You get gold from destroying enemy planets and then you can trade that with the Vendors (Yellow Aliens).
The combat is kinda wonky, even with the forward boost you always bump into the enemy, The farming is based off chance, sometimes I ran out of fuel in the middle of nowhere. Aside from that I enjoyed the graphics a lot, the planets look awesome, and the whole idea is really ambitious so thats great!
Fair enough thanks for playing and the criticism in such a short span getting everything how we wanted was hard and combat was a difficult thing to accomplish which is why we added the ability to move backwards but we agree improvements could be made
Your game is pretty impressive for a jam! Theres always a ton of things game submissions can improve.
Nice game, although I wish I could use A and D to turn. Really felt like there were alot of different planets.
Yeah we took away a and d as a spaceship wouldnt be able to boost like that without engiens there so we kept it partially realistic in that sense but we are glad u liked the game thanks for playing
pretty fun but you should be able to destroy the friendly planets too
thanks for playing we decided not to allow that as you can destroy and attack every other type of planet adn wanted some friendly aspect to the game.
Like the controls and the game art, some sound effects like the boost could be tuned down or replaced. Nonetheless quite nice and smooth game play and brings back good memories. Kudos on the minimap as well ;)
Thank you for the review! glad you enjoyed the game! and yeah we turned down quite a bit already probably some volume sliders may have been a good addition. Glad you enjoyed!
very nice and cosy! i couldn't figure out how to trade but i made it home anyway. i liked it a lot!
U may have got unlucky as everything is randomly generated and vendors are too but yeah once you find the traders it will tell you
This is absolutely amazing for a game made in such a short timespan, I dig the graphics that blend so nicely with everything else. I find the vendor section to be too boring especially when I don’t have 5 gold with me at the start nor do I have enough fuel.
Really wish there were asteroids around too to spice up the travel. The idea of not everything is out to kill you and requires provocation before they could attack you is splendid and adds life.
For that this Game gets great ratings from me.

Thank you for the kind words! we had lots of other ideas we could of added and one was asteroids flying around that could hurt you just the time limit and the amount of bugs we had to focus on fixing stopped us from that. We are happy you liked the game! =D
Nice game, loved the artwork and the music. The gameplay felt a little lackluster but it did keep my attention until the end and I enjoyed it
well thanks for the play and the review fair enough with more time more features and mechanics would have been added but we focused on polish and bugs at the end have a good day :)
Great work.
It would be nice if you can fire by keeping the mouse button down.
Thanks for playing and yeah thats something we could add in future
This game is extremely polished and fun to play, even though I generally don't like space shooters.
Thank you for the review! we are glad you enjoyed the game =D
This game has everything I need for happyness and I played it waaaay longer than I should have done :D + instant download :3
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the Game =D
I loved the mechanics and the movement, and the pixel art was lovely! I enjoyed all the different types of planets. I felt bad destroying them for gold!
Thanks for playing and for the kind words glad you enjoyed the game and u should feel bad u ruined some little aliens lives lol
Indeed a very fun to play game. Game feel is amazing and cool mechanics.
Thank you for the review and kind words!
Great little space shooter with a cosy art style.
It wasn't initially clear to me that I could kill the other (particularly larger) spaceships for fuel and health. Maybe parts need to fall off enemies as they lose health, so that it's clear that you're damaging the ships rather than just hitting them.
I encountered an odd issue where my screen was tinted red (perhaps I made something hostile?). Then on retry that red tint remained.
Also a big fan of the menu selection screen.
Thank you for the review! agreed something like enemy health bars would of been a good fit. We are really not sure on what could cause that bug no part of the game has a red tinted screen to show. Do you know what part of the game that happened was it when you died or was hit? and thank you for the kind words have a good day!
It might've been caused by me shooting at a planet? Definitely wasn't caused by me dying as I flew around for a bit with the tint there.
Cool main menu, cool idea.
Thanks for the review have a good day
Quite well polished, I loved the main menu UI.
Thank you for the kind words!
pretty cool work. Super well done
Thanks for playing and for the response
