Amazing game in all respects! I like the drilling just a little bit more than the escaping. The asteroids are hard to avoid when they come at you from the sides.

Yeah, the drilling + defending work really well together. Needs enemies that get stronger each wave or something that makes it harder as time goes by? The asteroid escape seems too random/hard. I really like the combination of the different mechanics into a single game, though.

Nice mix of gameplay mechanics!

Really cool! Don't know why more people haven't rated this.
I think there needs to be more challenge to the drilling stage. Maybe just more speed on everything.

As it is, it just seems like a patience game to get 100 fuel and as much money as you want.

Sadly, the game would always crash with a white screen after this stage for me :(.
Also, it needs sound and music!

Thanks everyone for the constructive comments! We are currently working on improving the game and will post the current version under "Post-Jam Version".

Stay tuned for more weapons, new upgrades, and sounds!

Nice game, I'm relieved to see it's the result of a "large" team (for a LD) Jam game and not a compo solo entry as there is really a lot of content and polish going on there. Nice graphics!
However the gameplay isn't that fun to play and that's too bad since clearly you would have had the resources to do more testing and tweaking if you had made that a priority.
