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.

The game was pretty good! I got swallowed up by a black hole during my first run, I liked how the bullets curved around it a few times haha. Overall very enjoyable and calm game, however the font choice made it difficult to read. I liked the menu with shooting the asteroid to start, and destroying planets felt nice.
Also, 5 nuggets to get healed is a lot considering the other upgrades for the same price.
Glad to hear u enjoyed! agreed with the font choice we do wish we changed it before the end and glad to hear you enjoyed the gameplay and the menu!
Very convenient control and an interesting idea of the game. Nice graphics. In general, it's cool
thank you for the review! glad you enjoyed
The game design was nice and very enjoyable. The enemies could have been a little more difficult. The controls could have been a little better. It was a nice game anyway.
Thank you for the review! we are glad you enjoyed the game and yeah we had some other ideas to supplement the controls like a shield ability but the time we had left unltimately left us without one.
The game felt very polished and was a treat to play
This is a great concept, I love the chill nature of flying through space in this, and all the art is beautiful. I will say that the combat feels a little unsatisfying in that I couldn't find a way to effectively attack enemies while also dodging their fire, even when using the boost. Maybe the enemies could turn slower, giving you a chance to get behind them. Aside from that, a great game. I'd love to see it expanded upon, maybe with a more in-depth trading system, or maybe some aliens that give you missions to complete to get rewards instead of trading.
Sorry, I'm designing my own game at this point. My point is, there's lot's of places you could take this, so I say stick with it.
Thanks for playing and for the kind words and the criticism . yeah we agree with the combat and have afew ideas about that in future. also with the friendly aliens we have lots of ideas and missions are a part of that but thats for after the jam as we needed a solid polished game for the jam. But yeah dont u worry a lot of what u mentioned is in the works . thanks for the comment
Excellent job with the menu. The game itself is incredible. It seems a lot consistent and professional. I really, really had fun playing it.
Thanks for the really kind words means a lot and yeah we wanted to spice up the menu. Thanks for playing and we are glad u enjoyed
Very nice gameplay, art and sound design. Good job, keep it up!
Thankyou for the kind words and for playing our game.
Great Art, Great Gameplay, Great Sounds, Overall very fun, I will say its relation to the theme isn't quite as prominent as it could be, I also found myself going through a lot of dead space with nothing to do, I think it would be a nice improvement to make bigger ships give you larger prizes such as +20 HP or Fuel rather than the normal 12, I enjoyed myself and would play again, good job on submitting :)
Thank you for the review! we tried to evenly space out the planets as much as possible but there are some dead space areas that were overlooked. and yes, those were in the ideas list but we ended up spending the last of our available time fixing bugs. We are glad you enjoyed the game! =D
I love it, the art is great, the music works aweome and it does feel like a big universe to explore. I don't know if it was my PC or what but the font was really hard to read, the separation between the letters is all funky and at times you don't know when the words end and the next word starts.

Thanks for the kind words and for playing and yeah that font is terrible we had it in and were gonna change but ran out of time but yeah thanks for playing my friend
Cool game ! I liked the general mood and the feel of wandering in space gathering resource to get upgrades.
Also nice art, the space with the starts was really cool and the planets also.
Thanks for the kind words and for playing we are really glad u liked it
Great game! There's so much polish here, and the ship itself is great to control! I just wish that I would end up buying more things, it felt like I was barely interacting with friendly planets, unless I just happened to pass them, and I had enough money which only happened 1- 3 times a run. Aside from that though, the game was pretty much perfect. Good job!
Thankyou so much for the kind words and for playing. Yeah we could definitely implent more ways to interact and force the player to interact more but nontheless the words mean a lot and we are happy u liked it
Nice game, like the visuals, the combination of genres was fun to play !
Thanks for playing and for the kind words glad u enjoyed it :)
Lovely art
Good job! I liked the graphics, especially the planets, a lot!
Thank you for the kind review glad you enjoyed!
Great job! Pacing is a little slow in my opinion, but from a technical or visual standpoint, it is pretty impressive!
Thank you for the review. Technically you can play for as long as you want it shouldnt take too long to get to earth. Glad you enjoyed!
Main theme in menu screen is so mesmerizing - love it. Cool graphics and solid mechanics, but uneasy to master (dodging while shooting is rather difficult). Could you share which generators did you use for mentioned assets?
Note: texts are very difficult to read, spaces between words are too small.
Thank you for the review! We are happy you enjoyed . Agreed we had some ideas like shields and rocket abilities but ultimately the time limit stopped us. and yes the Generator for the planets that we used was from DeepFold they have some great pixel art generators for space. Here is their planet generator if you want to check it out: https://deep-fold.itch.io/pixel-planet-generator
blowing up planets is fun
Glad you enjoy it
I love the main menu.
Thanks :)
