I love this game. This game is better than every game on here that I have played so far. I absolutely love the tractor beam mechanic. How it is both your weapon, your form of movement, and your form of collecting materials. It does everything. The fuel in the game seems to be more of help than actual necessity and I love that. The main down-side of this game is the art. It works for what it is, and I don't expect more, however if the art were better, with better sprites, this game would be an absolute great. Other down-sides are the luck dependencies of the items, however as you only had 48 hours to make this, and judging from other comments that you've made, it seems like you are making it better. I'll keep my eye on this game for a while. Well done!!

Thank you so much for the praise! The fuel system was actually even more restrictive during most of the development weekend because I wanted the tractor beam to be the primary focus. I slowed the leak down a few hours prior to release because I was worried about difficulty being too frustrating. The art is definitely the biggest weakness, I agree. It is, at best, serviceable. I hope you get more gameplay out of it after the update. I will definitely be looking to do this with a partner next year who can take the lead on art to shore that side of things up.
