Amazing art and atmosphere! The haunting ambient music and the constantly looming threat of mines really puts me on edge. I really like the palette and art style, and the amount of sprites is mindboggling. Its a very distinct signature's very recognizable of a CCadori production.
The gamenplay loop of collecting scraps to upgrade your ship is really fun and addictive. If there were more parts to add (e.g. to add health capacity, or to give special skills) that would really round out the package. The upgrades can even be unique to the port-of-call to add extra flavor.
One issue I faced was the difficulty in telling apart the on-screen entitys of the same size. Powerups, mines and even the port indicator (which was a helpful and nice touch), were hard to tell apart. Resulting in unexpected mine contact. Perhaps giving a shader glow for mines touched by the player's light will help ease this, while also adding to the utility of using light.
Overall, a really solid entry! Well done, and looking forward to your next art piece.
