Great concept held back by a very short music loop and somewhat mediocre level design. Still played for quite a while though, so take it with a grain of salt!

music? Great. Visuals? Wonderful? Gameplay? Swinging my friend around like a hacksaw out of 10.
I seriously enjoyed this. Some more variation in enemy variety and a difficulty curve (more difficult enemies the fewer asteroids are left) would really finish it off. Also: you might not want to use the word "colonize". It's got a lot of implications that just don't fit into a cute little jam game like this. "Discover" works just as well and doesn't have those same implications :)!
Really enjoyed playing this. The art is great and although it takes a second to figure out the premise has a lot to offer. I do think one or two steps could be taken to make it truely an "hours of playtime" kind of experience. Some benefit to connecting planets back to eachother, making a network and not a line, would be cool, and I don't see why this couldn't be turn based, considering how much pausing I had to do not to die right away :P.
But hey, it's a gamejam, you're not gonna get everything worked in, and for a gamejam this is super impressive!
