Really good puzzle, nice idea!
This is a really fun idea! At first, I couldn't figure out how to turn the spaceship but then I realized I need to be in the spaceship, and I ended up playing for quite a while! The puzzles were really fun, good level design!
I like the concept. I like the sound effect (pew pew!) and how the ship and astronaut moves. However the ship is too slow, would have been nice to be able to control its speed. I also would have given the ability to shoot rocks to the ship and not the astronaut. It would have made things a bit more challenging to manage.
I feel like the ship was too slow for the amount to do in each level. I could usually shoot all the obstacles halfway through and then just wait? I like the concept, though.
By the way, did you make those sound effects with your voice? They're so silly I love it
Thanks for your comment!
Yes, haha, I did. I have to agree with you, sadly we had a too large scope which in the end left literally no time for polish. In fact, I had to make all the levels in the last 40 minutes. Also there is a bug where the ship will move slower if your FPS drops below 60 x.x
Pew pew!
I found the controls a little bit difficult but I really liked your game! I love the little pew pew sound that the astronaut made when you shoot it's very fun and satisfying. Great work!
Way too chill of a game to play at 3am, but I really appreciated the vibes it was giving off.
haha I was just about to comment the same!
I didn't play it at 3 am, but still, pretty chill.
Nice exploration of the mechanics even if you saw you didn't have time to add levels! Great idea and execution!
The ship is a bit too slow
I think it's relaxing this way, but if you are not in the mood for that I can see how it would be more fun otherwise
edit: speed controls would have been a good addition, where the minimum speed is what speed the ship has right now.
