Great atmosphere and the drug of speed. I couldn't find anything to destroy :(

The presentation of the game and the Itch page itself is stellar! I really enjoy the spaceship controls and the central game play loop is enjoyable. I think this was my favorite use of the planet art among the games I have seen.
Really enjoyed the game! Background matches nice with your game page. The speedy ship animation looks great. I like the concept of exploring and the challenge of fighting the litte enemy ships. Sfx and music on point :) Only suggestion would be to make the orientation arrow a litte bigger. Thats all :)
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it :), I had fun making the game and polishing it, the orientation arrow is very small indeed , I have increased it's size a bit in the polished version (in the featured video), I'll upload the version after the voting period and I hope you give it another go then.
Thanks again for all the feedback and compliments!
Love the parallax of the stars. Its pretty fun just flying around watching the stars go by. Probably my favorite part.
Very nice, loved the feel of the boost/sprint, and the little compass indicating the planets was also very helpful! Keep up the good work!
I'm sure there was a good reason we were destroying all of those planets! (Right? 😢)
I think it could use a bit more instruction in-game on what the player is trying to do. And a health bar of some sort to indicate how close I am to dying would be very helpful! I did like the little compass around the ship indicating which direction to go, though it took my a little bit before I realized that's what that was. Great visual effects and sound design!
Yeah we're definitely destroying them for the greater good 👍 I think.....
Probably...
Anyways thank you so much for the feedback and compliments!
I'm working right now on fixing the game and polishing it so that i can release a polished version after the jam, I'll make sure I add a health indicator of some kind and also a brief tutorial.
thanks again for the suggestions!
Fun game.
I really enjoyed zooming around in the ship. You did a good job on the speed effects. Launching the missile attacks on the planet was satisfying too, sound had a lot of oomph to it. Ship homing missile was cool as well.
For improvements, maybe add some dynamic zooming out of the camera based on your ships speed. Also, adding some more feedback for when you hit a ship with your laserbeam would be nice, as it can be quite hard to tell if you hit an enemy sometimes. A healthbar would be good too. Finally, the arrow pointing to the nearest planet could do with being bigger. Took a while for me to notice it.
All in all, an enjoyable experience that needs some extra QoL improvements added. Good job!
Thank you so much for the compliments and good feedback I appreciate it!
I wanted to implement some of these ideas but I was sadly very unfortunate with time since I started a day late. However, I'm working right now on fixing it and adding a lot of QoL stuff to release after the jam.
and thanks again for the suggestions I'm definitely adding all those in.
I destroyed 5 planets ! :D
the laser might need a lil particles when it hit the enemy ship :o
Overall, Great game !
Really nice! It was really fun to drive around in the small space ship. At some points, i wish the camera was larger so i could watch the planet be destroyed more easily. Well done!
Yeah, I think it is an elegant UI (mostly because I did something similar on a past game jam 😅: https://justicebeaver.itch.io/lunara-game-jam-version)
Nice ambiance and very satisfying movement ! The parallax effect on the stars is very nice. Is this normal that I can't shoot spaceships around the planet ? Or at least this seems that they weren't taking any damage.
