Thank you for your kind words and ways for improvement. 

I used unreal like you .. how did you keep your file size lower (something I struggle when using unreal compared to unity)

to be honest, I really don't know. (I'm just a small hobby developer with not a lot of experience)
normaly I have the same issue. (although I don't really see it as a problem.)
and its a common problem with unreal builds, dit see more people complaining about it during jam ratings.
but I think it has something to do with some loaden plugins that are loaded by default that you don't all need.
but I'm not sure! ;)

That's really all I wanted to hear that I'm not the only one who's ever encountered that problem. Thanks for your response!

As others have mentioned, 500MB is a bit too much for just one mechanic.

At the beginning i didn't know exactly what to do, until i looked in the description.

Unfortunately the game was also very short, compared to the MB size of the game. I would have liked to see more.

Overall this is a decent game. Good job.

Thank you for the review. I'm starting to see a theme in these comments haha

I'm not super happy to download 500megs just to get a ue4 game with 1 cool function.

Don't know how I won, could have done with an introduction or more levels

Good feedback, thank you

The lag oh my godd, 

i will be honest, instead of the orbiting camera, having control would have felt better also motion blur not good.

I'll be honest i didn't know what i was doing. 

why is there sound in space??
