Took me a little while to understand how to actually play the game, i didn't realize i was in the game when i pressed the portal till i tried to move. Also shooting the enemies without taking a single bit of damage was nearly impossible since turning around to shoot was almost always a guaranteed hit for the enemy so i decided to run from the enemy every time i saw them! But other than that it was fun to fly around and look for the ore! Perhaps add a small indicator pointing to a rock if its close enough? Sound would be nice as well!

How does your game utilize the limitation and theme?
The game revolves around you going through the portal to go to outerspace. Exploring in the infinite map wil lead you to ores and enemies, but no matter how far you go, you'll still have to go back to the portal again. Once you're there, you can go to the two shops and upgrade various things, and then the cycle repeats with you going back to the portal. The collectables are the ores, upgrades, and money that you get.
