This is really fun, I like just about everything about this game! The music was a good choice, it's not too repetitive or anything.

Love how there's a seperate exe with no sound :)

It's a very ambitious concept, i would've liked action to be a bit more immediate for the space bits.

Great graphics, but i found soundtrack annoying...
However, there's a cool atmospere of space solitude and fear.
Good game =)

Great graphics, actually they are amazing I love them. The gameplay is interesting. It's cool to be in control of both the ship and the captain. Great work !

Really good potential for a space based exploration game! You should take a look at the Indie game A.N.N.E. as well for inspiration, platformer + shmup hybrid :)Excellent spriting...

With some polish it could shape up to be a great game.

I feel like... it's so bizarre it's awesome :P I feel like it has the imagination of 90's PC games, and I love the graphics and atmosphere. The game right now isn't particularly gripping, but I feel like with just a little bit of work this could be a really surprising sleeper hit. I love the multi-tasking aspect... I don't know, I can't put my finger on it but I really like it :D

Really great game! I loved having control of the captain as well as the ship.
It'd be nice to have space stations for resupply rather than just a dialogue that appears out of nowhere though.

Good graphics..but very slow movement of the ship.. But overall it's very good!

Cheers guys, as usual the comments are really what makes the LD :^)

Completely agree with all the polish focussed points, alas I can never find time for those things on LD weekends, maybe if I manage to properly plan one out I'll be able to though.

Glad it's inspiring the imagination of some, will go give some more rates and comments now.

I like the switching between controlling the ship and taking care of things. Aavoiding meteors and shooting them was a little too difficult imo though and getting random bonuses add an unneccessary random elemnt to the game.

This game is so great! I thought I was playing a jam entry, not a compo entry. It looks so polished and finished! Really good job. It's like Asteroids meets survival.

Can't get the music out of my head now. Thanks ;-)

Great, great, great starting point. It is hard to find the fun in this but you can really see how this can be debeloped into a great thing.

Cons are lack of explanation of what you should do, and a music loop too short, but in 48 hors this is really great. Lot of potential.

Nice graphics! It's hard to control without being able to break, but it adds to the fun.

Interesting idea!
I am not sure how to win, but it's still fun :D

Nothing happens after the red loading bar is done moving. I'm using IE10 (maybe the issue?).
