A really fantastic concept! The idea of landing on planets and transitioning into a different style of play is incredibly interesting and the pixel art looked great! Really liked the audio although it was a little bit loud.
The issues I ran into were:
- If you bump into something, it slows you down with no way of regaining your speed which essentially ends the game. Hitboxes seemed a little off and I would lose speed even when it seemed like I hadn't touched anything
- Each time I landed on the planet I seemed to die instantly even when it seemed like nothing had hit me which was a shame because I wanted to explore it further
- The ability to return to the menu was nice, but on dying you have to restart the game
- It was a little hard to tell where you were shooting in space, and the crosshair that does nothing threw me off a bit
Overall, a really great concept that is aesthetically very pleasing, just needs some polish to make it into something really unique!
