The music is fun. I like picking things up although I wish my wings would hit the objects as well. The asteroid field can be completely avoided. I beat the game!

Honestly, I'd skip the gathering part on Earth and just go straight to the asteroid flying. To keep the gathering part, perhaps make it gathering supplies from wreckage or something where you can use the full motion of the ship. It was way more fun flying through the asteroids, and made me feel like I was actually flying instead of rolling around like in the first part.
On the second playthrough, I realized that the asteroids were extremely easy to fly out of as it was just a tunnel. Try spawning asteroids in front of the player instead of having them in a straight line. Although that would require having a goal pointer to find the destination, it would prevent escaping the asteroid field.
I thought it was a nice little game that gave me a decent amount of fun in the process, which seems to be so rare these days in LD. Although, I felt like the turning of the ship was somewhat limited. First stage needs to be revamped greatly.
I found the music annoying, and the game needs more instructions. Otherwise an interesting game which has some potential to be more.
interesting game. music was good. the lack of visibility through the ship made navigation nearly impossible, and the asteroid field density encouraged me to just avoid it altogether. however, the idea was fun, and it met the theme. nice work.
What is up with the music? Its clearly not yours - mesh up of existing soundtracks and I cant find your sources anywhere? Part of it though was from Transistors Original Soundtrack - Traces...
Music is all from logic pro, like Darren Korb's. I used a loop he uses in Transistor, yes, but not ripped from Transistor. Just from Logic Pro X.
Boy, I don't know how to rate this. I love how you used the LD name as references :) There is clearly a game here, graphics and music are okay, but no source code (the link that says source leads nowhere), no info on how it was made, nothing. So this is essentially a Jam entry, right?
I liked flying through the asteroids - that was the best part. Should just cut the rest of the game out.
I delivered -400 items to the planet ... I guess the drought got worse! :)
