I think the visuals, as everyone's mentioned, are definitely this games strong point. I was confused a little when playing, I read the description but didn't really understand what I was doing, I found myself aimlessly clicking at circles around the planet. I definitely think that there should be a more explicit goal -- discovering all the planets before a timer goes out, a limited fuel, optimal paths to explore every planet etc. just some ideas. Aside from that, it feels like a really polished game.

Great visuals, but I think it lacks in term of Gameplay. Once you set the destination of you rocket... you just kinda wait there. I think a bigger map to explore and a more direct method of travel would really help the game.  Maybe make it harder and harder to find new planet to pump the more you advance. It could be like a easter egg hunt on a time limit find all the planet before you consume all the fuel.
But that's just my opinion. You could go in many different direction with this project!

I love the concept and the visuals very much. For clumsy people like me, maybe a more detailed explanation on the itch.io page would be great. Nice job! :)

Loved the idea, took me some time to figure out the gameplay (because I'm dumb), but after that, I've got great fun :D!

Nice concept, but too few planets to explore.

I enjoyed the graphics, and the smooth control of the mouse and of the camera (it was hard to get used to, but it was ok later.)

good job!

Interesting puzzle concept. Just needs some chill spacey music!
