(+) Nice visual ambiance. (+) Like to be a smuggler :D (-) As said, no music and no sound. (-) Game is a tad too hard.

Unfortunately I suck at this already hard to play game
the controls are just so hard !
Too bad you don't have sound could've been kinda cool

A great idea, but there is too much to manage at the same time. I couldnt land on a single planet, my speed is probably too high, or i didnt get my landing gear out. On top of that, cops are strong. I like the idea of mission between worlds, you should tweak difficulty or simplify landing.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
I'm going to tweak the difficulty a bit by making the cops slower to turn and upping the maximum speed you can be at when you try to land. Hopefully these tweaks are okay in the spirit of things!

Has the potential for being a very fun game, but right now it's a bit difficult - very hard to steer around, ship movement is a bit fast. I like your take on the theme though. :)

I really really like this game! Nice work!

I think the level of difficulty at the beginning would fit better as to what you'd see after finishing several missions. I was also a little confused by some missions that said their destination was the planet I was already on.

Overall, though, I think the graphics are consistent and nice, and that the mechanics are pretty solid. It's exciting to avoid the space cops and asteroids and to try to land all at once. Really good! And the perfect scope for a game jam.

Great success!

That was way more fun than anticipated. All that crashing only made it more fun.

Your control scheme is terrible though :P Quitting with the enter key was quite frustrating :)

Well, I sucked at landing on other planets but its a cool game! I included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/3H1YVzN-nuA
