Without knowing which direction to go, I wandered around for a while and eventually gave up.

Cool, but hard to find the notes. :)

I found the first note. Flew around for a while, realized I was alone and gave up :(
I found a UFO!
flew around a lot lot more, got bored and quit

Definitely fits the theme :)
I wish there was a little more to do, or even shoot mindless random rocks

/\ Damn it why didn't I think of that! Shooting rocks would add a lot to the game and it would still fit the theme. I was going to make a radar thingie too, to show where stuff is.

I like the depth effect on the stars

That parallax scrolling is one of the best I've seen. Game feels empty as crap, but I dig the stars. I went all the way to -20,000x before giving up. lol

Sweet parallax-effect.

space is big!
I only found the game notes at the start.

If anybody finds other items share the coordinates here so we can check it out.

I was excited at first because I thought you did a great job of having a lack of tutorial. But then I flew around space for 2 minutes, finally found a UfO that does nothing, and then quit. Basically just a pretty scavenger hunt. Why not put in kittens?

@demonpants There is one kitten! But it's kinda far away to the northwest...
