Very interesting game. I enjoyed just flying around. The controls/camera were a bit difficult for me - maybe if I had a gamepad it would feel better. The models and sounds were very nice too.

looks really good like how it generates the area a new each time you play. The movement controls took some getting used to to used to pressing forward and going the direction of looking. Good game

The game seems to be cool but unfortunately my machine wasn't able to run it properly, the framerate was too low... so I can't rate the game

Hey, thanks for your feedback. I just released v1.2 of the game which should massively improve the performance for those having issues. I'd really appreciate it if you would take another look :)

Thanks

I played the v1.2 and it worked! I like the kind of realistic controlling of the ship in space, the sounds and feeling when I was in the shadows and the countdown made me really scared lol. I didn't find the moon, I'd suggest for you to add something to make it easier to find like some coordinates or elements on the stones that leaves traces to indicate something, depending on the target audience. The design was really cool, good job with your engine!

Wow, looking really good. Did you create that game in Blender?

Framerate was also smooth for me. :)

Issues I had were that the options menu didn't seem to work for me, and I only could leave the game by ALT+F4, an option to return to the main menu and exit would have been nice. :)

Thank you very much for the kind comments. I made it using my own engine. Glad to hear the framerate was smooth for you.

I appreciate the feedback, I will be updating the game hopefully today with feedback I have recieved; yours included :)

Pretty fun, especially for how fast you made it!

Game looks really interesting, however for me it took ages to load a level and then in the game I my framerate was really low, will try and rate again later on.

Developer

Its quite hard on the system, unfortunately I didn't have time to add options for adjusting the settings so everything is pretty much stuck on max. Thanks for trying it anyway!

Developer

I have uploaded v1.1 which should address many of the performance issues you were having. I'd love to hear your updated feedback if you get chance. Thanks

It loads the main menu, and I can see the meteors loading in, but in game the frame rate is really low, I dunno if its because you have a lot of (while / for ) loops running in the background or something to rotate the meteors, best bet is to upload a video of yourself playing it and I'll rate it of the video

Developer

That's a shame. Are you able to tell me your PC specs? I'll get a video uploaded asap.

Ok thanks, and what desktop resolution are you using? Currently the game will run in whatever you're using but for me it runs fine in 4k.

Interesting, good work for so little time.

Thank you
