wow very nice and polished great textures too

umu 2014-08-25 03:26

How do you service the relay station?

ganbaregames 2014-08-25 03:27

Great visuals. This is one of the best-looking Ludum Dare games I've seen.

josriley 2014-08-25 03:28

Really like the voiceover at the beginning. Great idea to set the tone.

mactinite 2014-08-25 03:28

Logistics really is connection...

I really loved the graphics and the audio, nice job!

fgc_fernando 2014-08-25 03:31

"there goes another one" hahaha

foolmoron 2014-08-25 03:32

Great graphics and animations! Love the voice over too.

lambomang 2014-08-25 03:33

Looks awesome :D Really hard to control though :/

cheshyr 2014-08-25 03:41

Art style was good. Voiceover was great. Finding the relays was a bit of a pain, but overall an excellent submission for 48h. Nicely done.

doobiedoctor5000 2014-08-25 04:08

This game looks like, with lots of work, it can be something great. It was really difficult to control. Am I supposed to ram into those flashing lights? I couldn't figure it out honestly. I enjoyed the artwork.

john_conder9 2014-08-25 05:21

Well it was fun but I have to be honest, there is no chance I would ever manage to dock at 5 of those relay stations. I kept getting stuck on asteroids and overshooting the relays, at one point I got stuck in a grav field only to get sling-shotted waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay far away, like so far I would have ran out of fuel before I got back lol.

But, it felt great to dock at one relay station, and IMO, that's where the game should have ended :P Great art direction, it's highly stylized and looks wonderful. Great entry!

nicotuason 2014-08-25 09:35

I docked at one! Love it, but I need a radar or something to point me to the next station.

ramperkash 2014-08-25 11:42

I really like the look of the game. In terms of gameplay, it's a bit frustrating how you have to counteract the gravitational forces, since you can only propel yourself forwards.

mechabit 2014-08-25 12:01

Fun game, controls took a bit of learning but actually watching your trail helps in braking and avoiding gravity wells. The only thing I would say is make it impossible to get stuck on an asteroid as that's really annoying. Either cap the max gravity force to something lower than your max thrust or give you an after burner (burn x4 more fuel for 2x more thrust) to give you the extra thrust needed to escape a gravity well.

g_o 2014-08-25 12:59

Nice, the controls were cool and the graphics were well done
Though the game isn't hard enough I think

trickfishpie 2014-08-25 15:40

Artwork is great. Really cool atmosphere

matthias_zarzecki 2014-08-25 16:19

Ohh, this is lovely! Love the graphics :)

weaselzone 2014-08-25 19:18

Hahaha "there goes another one". Really, really enjoyed this little game!

ViliX 2014-08-25 19:30

I love the thrust trace :)

43iscoding 2014-08-25 19:35

I love everything about this game! Physics is challenging, intergalactic van is lovely and it all looks really amazing!:D

elliottd 2014-08-25 19:50

great visuals, good sound. fun to move around but I started to get very uncomfortable fighting gravity wells. Good job

psychomonster 2014-08-25 22:28

This is awesome graphics... super responsive flight mechanics... like the idea too.

lokiman 2014-08-26 17:40

I like the trails, textures and voice in the beginning :)

mr-chelnoque 2014-08-26 18:34

Funny ship! Fake physiсs, of course, but, it is here more than ever there is a good freedom of movement in space. Nice cartoon art too.

extrelime 2014-08-27 08:09

Pretty cool graphic design. Also it fells kinda particular to fly in outher space like that!
Good job!

zapaman 2014-08-27 09:05

Loved it! Both the art style and the fact that you need to thrust in the opposite direction of your moving vector to stop!

phocker 2014-08-28 04:58

graphics and audio were really good. maybe I was tired but I could not figure out the controls. it must be me. nice job.

krisdevelopment 2014-08-28 12:44

It is a bit frustrating at times wit all the asteroids.

liquidminduk 2014-08-28 12:55

gorgeous in every way

soulgame 2014-08-29 19:19

Very nice gameplay. It works very well and It's a pleasure to navigate through the meteors field. I couldn't manage to find the 4th relay, yet I had plenty of fuel, health and O2, but just didn't find it! Congrats.

soulgame 2014-08-29 19:20

Very nice gameplay. It works very well and It's a pleasure to navigate through the meteors field. I couldn't manage to find the 4th relay, yet I had plenty of fuel, health and O2, but just didn't find it! Congrats. P.s : very funny voice acting at the beginning :)

I just want to say I followed you on Twitter after I played Double Hitler. That game is HILARIOUS. Great work.

I really enjoyed the disorienting challenge of your entry, for the most part. Maneuvering the ship through the asteroid field and into the relays was pretty fun, once I knew where they were, but FINDING the relays was sometimes a little tedious, especially with little clues as to their general locations, and the confusion of distinguishing between relays I'd already serviced and new relays.

Also, at one point I got stuck in the gravity of an asteroid because I forgot I could double the ship's thrust. (I realized this after dying and restarting.) My fault, maybe, but I thought I'd mention it.

Great visuals, pretty good audio, and clever voice-over. Very impressive work, overall.

hypnohustla 2014-08-30 13:53

Amazing game. Simple and fun. Loved your textures and the voice-over. Thank you for this :)

howkj1 2014-09-01 20:54

This is great! Its like Homeworld meets USPS! I wish I could repair the ship somewhere on top of the refueling. Otherwise, that was fun!

artamus 2014-09-07 16:02

Nice game, congrats!

priorblue 2014-09-07 17:28

Great 3D art style, the boost particle effect is funny. :)

sephyka 2014-09-08 12:09

I really like this kind of entry. Simple but great mood, it's very pleasant to move with the ship in the space. I really like simple 3D graphics. Great mood!

Hard but it keeps you playing. Looks great and audio fits perfectly. Good job.

chuigum 2014-09-09 03:49

Awesome graphics, cool game. Good job!

xanjos 2014-09-09 21:59

Controls were pretty hard (it was really difficult trying to dock into the station) but the voiceover was absolutely amazing (Made the gameplay more immerse I say).

stevesalmond 2014-09-10 09:28

I really enjoyed the flight mechanics - challenging but very fun! Nice work Damian.

ragepaint 2014-09-12 04:11

I liked the graphics
