Game Description
Stay alive, and when you run out of power, just take a rest on a planet.

How does your game tie into the theme?
The planets we see through light are in their past state. Only after traveling millions of light-years can we see their true current appearance, which may be completely different from what we expected.

Beautiful art, atmosphere, and music!

Very cool atmosphere you've created! I love the feeling of drifting through space. Having some control over the speed would have been a good addition, though. I could listen to that sound track for hours.. I definitely invokes a feeling of exploration. Well done!

First of all, oh my gosh, main menu music is so awesome, i love it to bits! It's an ambitious project to take on every single wildcard in a solo project, super impressive but also necessarily introduces alot of scope creep. I did like how you implemented the rest and the seasons theme as different planet resting points, that was quite clever! But I didnt understand why some planets suddenly turned into hell planets or into black holes... I haven't quite seen the Not Dead Yet wildcard being incorporated into the game, but perhaps I just missed it... Otherwise quite  a fun game! I do feel like a more linear and perhaps a roguelike ish version of that game could have a great potential in the future if you intend on making more of it, nice submission overall! :)

Music is awesome, the whole vibe of the game is awesome. I love space. My only complaint about the gameplay is that it feels a bit slow, maybe if movement speed was sped up it would feel like less of a slog. Also I didn't really see how the theme came into play at all, but other than that, I really think this game has the potential for a lot of cool things! It's definitely a great jam project, so well done!
