Nice idea, with good graphics. However, I found a weird bug, as I moved along, my ship started to slowly go up, so I couldn't save many people.

I'm a big fan of games with dual-layered gameplay systems (such as X-Com), so I really like the idea here. I did find it sometimes difficult to tell if I was killing people or if I was saving them, but I like the idea. Would be cool if there was more to do during the solar system phase.

I had the same problem with the ship moving up out of range of the people.

Nice idea, pleasant graphics, but the gameplay is buggy. Had the same bug as pvwradtke. It's a nice idea, keep working on it!

An interesting use of the theme. Some parts with player feedback could have been better. The first planet I went to I mowed the inhabitants down thinking I was saving them. I didn't realize I was killing them until I got back to the main screen.

i liked the music on this on. The spaceship goes up. took me a while to discover that i had to press both buttons to go down.

People, you press left and right at the same time to move down! It should probably be mentioned in the instructions... PS I enjoy your art style!

I unfortunately killed more people than I rescued... but eh they were going to die anyway!

Nice music & drawn graphics, but the gameplay felt a bit too simple.

What a fantastic paint style! The artworks are great! The electronic soundtrack was a nice touch, I was grooving when the bass drop midway, so nice! I love the idea of pressing both buttons to go down and not pressing anything slowly brings up the ship. Genius.

I feel sorry for the sole-guy that I smashed into in the beginning... I hope he's okay.

I loved the music, and that supernova was creepy! It didn't feel like the supernova on the rescue screen matched up with the supernova on the planet-chooser screen. I ended up squishing a bunch of the people I was supposed to rescue.
