I dig the graphics and atmosphere, but the controls got a bit buggy when inside the planets. Overall, well done :)

It's fun to explore the planet! The music is a bit repetitive ^^ Nice work!
Loved it! I'm pretty sure this is the first Metroidvania I've ever completed. I don't care for platformers, but being able to glitch my ship through the trickier parts of the planets made me happy. Its not a bug, its emergent gameplay!!! The system was as fun to explore as it was to exploit. Also, I could just sit there and play with that engine exhaust particle system all day. But, man, do I hate that map system more than I've hated any other, lol.
You've created a nice atmosphere, good job. The controls felt a little clunky but I loved exploring all the planets. I had a fun time :)
I kinda adore this game! It does feel rough around the edges but it's a game jam so that's to be expected. Landing your ship feels really awkward, and until you find the map it's real easy to get lost in space (maybe something on the first planet that hints you toward the planet with the map). I really liked how you taught things only as the player needed to know and in a fluid way. I would definitely play a fleshed out version of this game!
I really like this game. Decent Graphics and nice Audio. There are some flaws though: - The spaceship being inviceable makes it a little bit easy - Spaceship parking has really annoying controls. Having to reverse to resist the gravity when being on the ground seems weird. But I guess thats what I get for flying everywhere with the spaceship instead of walking :D

I spoke with the developer a bit, I'd love to see the player hit box lowered, the respawning to happen outside the ship to lessen the iteration times, and to force the player to pick up the map before they could leave the planet. Otherwise, very good entry!
Excellent aesthetics , I would like to have made my game with this level of 2d art.
Yup, the look and feel of the game is nice !
Really nice game, with a lot of depth. Impressive you managed to get all this done in 48 hours. The game has a good feel of spacetravel and planet exploration. It's nice that you can actually feel lost, when the map rotates, just like a gimbal lock must feel like in space :) Cool that you can track your movement on the minimap, and funny small planets to explore. I really like the mood of the game! Nice job!
Neat graphics and a cool soundtrack. I really liked the fact that there were more planets than I initially thought. I really like the concept, as it feels like a cool little exploration game.
Love the aesthetics. Sadly, you get stuck when your ship lands on the side.
This was pretty great. Quite a lot of content for a game jam game. I was able to make it all the way through. The puzzles were nice, the graphics were simple, but got the job done, and the it fits the theme pretty well.
The controls were a little weird, like, being able to back up a rocket was weird, but after getting stuck on a planet I understand why it was there.
The planets may need some sort of a "ship cannot pass" zone or something because even though it was a huge pain to maneuver the ship through the planet corridors, it was sill easier than jumping over the obstacles.
I appreciate that there was at least some music, but it did get repetitive very quickly, but at least it was not obnoxious and faded into the background.
Well done.
Fun game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwLATN0OA3Y
