This game is retro asf and I love it!
The animations and visuals of this game we're so good, I have nothing bad to say about that section. I loved the way you drifted around as each black hole slowly pulled you in, speeding around and whizzing by black holes was so much fun. You really made the gravity apparent, much like in real life, no matter where I was there was always one black hole pulling me closer giving me brief moments to relax. Just a great little game well done.
I did however spawn on top of a black hole once as well as sometimes energy spawning on black holes, there could be better indication for when the engine is about to overheat, perhaps flashing somewhere or puttering of the engine. May have been nice to include a way to scan or find the nearest energy, just a thought. I'm not sure if it was intentional but I did find a good amount of energy clumped really close together, if its like ore when it is found in veins then that makes sense.
Honestly this game was very simple but great, you did a lot really well and there isn't much to complain about, besides my couple nitpicks. Excellent feeling of gravity! GG

Hi, your feedback means a lot to me. Thank you ;)
All the issues and the possible improvements on the user experience of the game has been thought during the jam, as well as others like camera shaking and sound distortion near the blackholes, or the blackhole's size to reflect its gravitational strength and radius (which actually differs for all of them). Unfortunately, I simply did not have enough time to do all of that.
I may implements all of the above, once the jam is finished tough.. stay tuned ;)
Thanks again so much for playing it and give your thoughts and feedbacks. I really really appreciated it.
