Really chill- although I didn't realise I was supposed to raise shield on entering an atmosphere (although it does make sense thinking about it.) I think I'd try this again after some more development, but having a little more to do at any given moment would be nice. Really good work though, this is a solid and interesting.
Amazing game, good job!
Despite burning up in the atmosphere many times, this was a pretty relaxing game. Nice job!
This is a really well made game and I enjoyed it a lot. I found the mechanic of balancing power between the shield, battery, and drive was a neat touch. The visuals were great too. However, as I was entering the planet's atmosphere, I lost because the shield was too weak. But then a few seconds later, it said I won. Just a minor issue that I came across.
If you'd like, could you check out our game as well?

nice art style. tried to turn away from asteroids but couldn't avoid :'( died on entering earth. i think the 3 balancing meters would look good if kept in cockpit.
Thanks for Playing! The asteroid icons on the map are ment to be asteroid fields. There actually are random events when asteroids can hit you even if you arent flying through one. I should have communicated that better to the players. On atmosphere entry you just need to activate the battery (click on the battery symbol and hit the activate button) and set the shield percentage to 100.
I liked the visuals, but there were a couple of times where I got hit by asteroids even though I thought I was avoiding them on the map. Plus I couldn't figure out how to activate my battery so I died upon entering the earth's atmosphere :(
