How does your game fit the theme?
The rescue ship and the mothership are linked to face a growing sun. The rescue ship must fetch all the needed fuel tank with its energy ray. At any time the rescue ship can be pulled by the mothership by their only link, a tractor beam. Good luck.

This is such a cool idea for a game, I haven't seen anything like it before! I guess you like space RTS games then!
Things I liked:
Suggestions:
Overall, I really enjoyed playing and I hope to see more! Will you be developing it further?
Thank you for the review, it's really constructive! I appreciate. You're right with the exploration it's something important we wanted to developp but we lacked of time for the demo. For the future of the project, we have to talk a bit my mate and I to figure a bigger picture so at the moment, why not :)
If any other idea or things that could pop into your mind or just something you might like, feel free to drop a msg !
Nice game. The controls got a bit chaotic at times, but I presume it was a design choice to make it a bit harder. All in all it was pretty tense and the music only aplified that feeling. I was actually quite sad when it ended so soon, but welp that is the charm of gamejam games. Good job!
Yes we wanted to focus more on exploration at the beginning... but you know... time flies :D
Thank you for your feedback, controls should definetly be improved.
I managed to escape :) The ships look great! It reminds me a little bit of an old game called Solar Jetman.
Congratulations and thank you for playing! I'll have a look on Solar Jetman :)
Did you model everything during the jam? If so I will applaud you, because the models look amazing!
The controls are a bit weird and the game is short, but it was fun and it looked really good
Yup ! It's my mate yuyuiopyuyu who did them all, thank you for playing btw! :) We wanted to add some differents items to collect but time was a bit short.
Cool concept that fits with the theme. Very cool graphics, the control is really confusing. but it's okay,
I enjoyed the art style and the gameplay even though it was hard to control sometimes. Nice job!
I absolutely just love the artstyle for this game! Although the controls can be a little difficult since the movement is made to mimic that of movement in zero-gravity, I think that kind of choice for movement adds a nice amount of nuance that allows for more depth and creativity in how you can control the rescue ship. Great job :D
Thank you for the lovely feedback :)
Nice little game) Cool models and graphics, really fits the atmosphere! Great execution of physics, feels like it should when there is no gravity, only exeption - sometimes that fuel cans start spinning menacingly)
Really pretty game, the little ship feels great to control. There was one weird thing where the fuel canisters went out of axis and starting spinning around. A little slowdown while towing fuel would be worthwhile too, I think. The zoom out while piloting the mothership helped to reduce the amount of flying to find fuel.
Cool concept that fits with the theme. I had a hard time controlling the ship and I would have liked to use WASD instead of the arrow keys but Overall it was fun. Good job!
Thank you for your feedback! I think it's something I won't redo :p I made the choice of the arrows for avoiding azerty/qwerty issues. But I would go for the default qwerty layout in hindsight.
You can always have both controls available! Just make sure holding both W and up doesn't result in double speed!
Very cool graphics, some bugs mess up the experience a bit but I had fun!
I looove the concept !
Really fun to switch between both ships.
The game might need a little bit of polish but it's okay, congrats !
Very beautiful game, but the control is really confusing
Very beautiful game, but the control is really confusing
At some point, [E] to interact with mother ship stopped disappearing, even when it flew off with a small ship. Accordingly, he could not collect fuel, because he was just returning to base.
So sad, sorry for the inconvenience, that's the most annoying bug that still running :(
Movement needs polish but wow thats a pretty addictive lil game you got there well done.
Thank you for playing!
Cool, concept but the movement is kinda difficult to control. Once you got the hang it becomes much easier :) Good job:)
I agree, probably missing a bit of info about how the ship is reacting to the keys. Thank you!
Love the concept, but the controls are a bit frustrating!
Awesome artstyle, but I have to admit it was a bit hard to tell what element was the fuel and how to exactly interact with it.
The vibes are impecable though. With a bit of playtesting, this could become super good!
Yup I understand first times are hard :) You're right some sprite to highlight fuel tanks could have been great tho'. Thank you !
Fun game :)
Thank you ! :)
Fun game :)
