Entertaining game, i like the basic concept and the look of it. To bad there is no sound. A bit short as well unless i've missed something. Can you upgrade everything to level 10 after the first mission?

Nice concept! You have to get insanely close to those planets to keep your money up.
The uppermost item on every menu is missing for some reason (maybe it's just me?), but the game was still perfectly playable. :]

The concept is certainly interesting, but some things don't make sense; like why do I have to pay for engines and brakes again? Surely I should only have to pay for fuel and upgrades? With some tweaking it could be way more fun.

When I saw the screenshots and read the title I panicked a bit thinking we had the same thing going. In a way our games tell two sides of the same story.

Oh wow, Pascal! Love the concept. Simple, and even graphics are cute. Not sure how exactly upgrade works and why I even get money for flying close to planets/stars. Also lol @ "There's no sound in space... :)"

Very interesting. One of my original ideas for this contest was tentatively called "Escape from Earth" and was somewhat similar to this :)

Flying around the planets was pretty fun, but I thought it was a little confusing how you're supposed to "end" your missions (having ESC say "Mission accomplished!" was the most confusing). Great idea, though!

Nice concept.

Annoying how running out of juice leaves you going straight with no option but to hit 'ESC'. I enjoyed the gravity physics, however, as I've been attempting gravity in my own games.

Great ideas first of all. Very nice concept.
It's way too easy to upgrade everything completely (I did it after the first mission), and then there isn't much else to do.
This game has great potential.

You can zoom WAY out and WAY in!
