Hi edesdan. Thanks for the feedback, I agree about the lack of points of reference, anything that's there is also moving randomly. I did try a parallax effect on the background, but without a mid-ground it was still really disorientating and just looked terrible. I have an idea to try and fix it after the Jam, but for now I'll just explain it away by saying there are no points of reference in space :P
About to start checking out everyone's games and yours is one that's already caught my eye.
