Love the graphics! The gameplay felt a bit hectic (it was really hard to dodge the bullets), and I had a really hard time steering the moonwagon. But I love the fast paced action, and everything just looks so smooth. The glow effect makes everything look really nice!
Except the fact that it is really hard, it's really good looking and fun

An interesting concept with really nice visuals. I like the mix of 2d and 3d, and the lack of textures make it look like something from an old arcade cabinet game. I enjoyed the music too, very fitting of the style and plot.
I unfortunately found the game itself incredibly difficult and was unable to survive for very long. I just tended to get swarmed by enemies.
Though a small gripe, I also found it a bit annoying that despite the controls being WASD + Mouse, I had to press Enter to restart / continue, it would have been nice if it was something closer to the WASD keys on the keyboard.

Oops, I accidentally uploaded my development build that was super. :( I re-uploaded with the correct levels. Apologies to anyone who already played.

Great graphics, great music, great presentation, difficult gameplay. I need to spend more time with this one...

Really solid game, definitely like the split interaction mechanic. Nice work!

Fantastic music. Really like the dual steering/shooting responsibilities, and the limitation of only one at a time. Good work. Only had one issues: I got smashed right out the gate of level 3, which felt a bit unfair, since I really didn't have time to respond.
Ok no matter what I did I couldn't get the buggy to change paths. Also I think its asking a bit too much of the player to do both things at the same time. Maybe divide into parts where you only shoot the bad guys and then followed by parts where you have to steer the buggy. Either way great visuals and animation! :)
I got confused at first about the flashing red - thought it meant that's where the enemies would be, so I steered towards it so I could get them... Pretty cool idea though!
Love the graphics and the pseudo 3D style.

Couldn't run it because my graphics card doesn't support pixel effects :(
I managed to get to the third stage, only to insta-spawn in a wall and die (2776 points). :( Other than that, It's a *really* nice game! It feels polished and the gameplay is exciting, if a bit chaotic.
Honestly, the only tip I could think of is the omnipresent UPGRADEZ!1 It would be nice to upgrade you dude and the buggy (better steering, earlier wall warnings, etc.)
The only large issue I can think of is the fact that the gameplay is far from minimal, hehe.

As others have said, great graphics and great presentation. This felt much more polished than most entries I've played so far. I think dodging bullets was a little too hard, I would have made them move a bit slower. I would have liked to see more of the game, but I kept dying :)

WASD: check, Mouse + WASD: check, WASD+ mouse + space: hmmm OK, WASD + mouse + space + move to platform when obstacle approaches and then can't shoot: AAAH!
Pretty hectic, but fun and because the enemies become predicatble after you played it, is is doable.
So I like it a lot.
Also a plus for the in-game music. Good build up!
HOLD ON! Where is the theme? Well I liked it anyway.
Got the same problem like JMickle. :(
Amazing game! Could be a little easier on early stages, moon vehicle could move faster and I didn't understand why no shoot while steering. But are details, overall excellent job! Love music too.
It's hard. Or maybe I'm just bad. But it's a good game. Nice song too!
Cool style, love the mini-map and the steering haha. A tough challenge indeed!
And the music is still stuck in my head! :D
Such a clever mechanic! Super fun!

Nice mechanic and execution. Very fun to play. Good work.
I'm not sure where to start. Everything was outstanding. Very replayable, the visual effects are superb, the song is catchy and builds up very nicely, and the gameplay is solid. My only gripe is that I was immediately killed when level 4 started, because I started on the top row and there was a wall that also started in the top row :D High score: 3379 (lvl4)
I've got to say, Leafo, you have a really good way of mixing Love 2D with 3D. Your games also have a really neat "Nintendo Hard" feel. No checkpoints. I feel that you had some idea in mind for what the platforms and rectangles in the way were meant to actually be, but you ran out of time to give them models. I'm interested in what they were supposed to look like.
I didn't get that far at the time of this comment, but I may try again later.
I like astronauts <3
