Hi @houseforest, I really enjoyed this. It's like a modern take on "Manic Miner" or indeed "Pac Man" - simple premise: collect the items and don't get killed. Am I right in thinking there is currently no win condition? After I collected 250 items I started to get bored so headed into one of the tractor beams. I liked seeing my vehicle get sucked up to the space ship - a nice touch!

If you could extend this idea and turn it into a spherical version of Manic Miner - that could be a fantastic game! However, what you've got here is a solid start! Well done!

Cool little game! I like the dark side of the planet, that was a neat touch with the headlights, makes the red beams especially menacing. What I didn't like was the sound effect for picking up stuff. It quickly got on my nerves.
