It was fun shooting the asteroid and collecting items. Not sure why I was shooting or gathering, but the audio and controls were comfortable. I would've liked some parallax, as it felt like I was moving the background, not the ship. Overall, great job!

I am a little confused on what to do, but the art looks nice

Things I liked:

Art style:

Most of the assets you chose blended very nicely, better than most OGA jam entries you see. However, there was one big exception. The solar flare was very out of place and didn't match any of the other assets at all.

The sound design:

Music and sound effects worked well.

Things I disliked:

Repetitive gameplay:

Unfortunately, there isn't much variety in gameplay, when I first loaded in and saw that I had multiple laser weapons, I expected to fight enemies further into the game. I think random enemy encounters could really spice up the gameplay.

Things that could be improved:

Asteroids:

Asteroids should drop more resources depending on their size, smaller asteroids dropping the same as regular asteroids doesn't make much sense.

Scanner:

The scanner would only pick up a small amount of the resource selected, and usually those the farthest away.

Synopsis:

Overall a decent game, but it's lack of variation drags it down. with some finetuning and improvement, it could be really fun.

Thanks for entering. :)

Sorry I don't understand the point of this game. I am shooting asteroids and picking up minerals, but then what?
