Pretty difficult and slightly overwhelming at first, but once you work out a good strategy it becomes much easier. Damn good UI for an HTML game. Colt hoof used more horse puns.

Very nice game! I like how unique it is, compared to the other games for the jam. Keep up the good work, and have a great time!
Surprisingly fun for this kind of strategy game! A pause function like Dwarf Fortress has might be helpful to try to stop and plan things and then start again. I got sucked into a spatial flux by surprise a few times and had to restart. Like @lectvs said, it can be kind of difficult to pick up the strategy and figure out what needs to happen and who needs to be where, but it was still entertaining. The wizard and horses are pretty funny. Nice job!
Was a bit confusing at first, but then I got the hang of it. Didn't make it, though. ;) Took a while for me to figure out that warping cost power. Messed things up for me.
All in all I really liked the game!
First run I cryofreezed my captain, then I was just drifting through space, unable to unfreeze anyone... Second run, the first heat wave just killed half my crew, because they were still in cryo chamber for "saving measures" and eventually I got torn apart by hostile fighters. Third run, I crashed into a black hole just to "see what happens". Fourth run, I finally managed to reach the end unscathed with 660830 energy left.
So yeah, I like this. Once one gets the hang of it, it's more or less a solved puzzle. The UI is not "super" polished, but it's still well presented, to be able to see important stuff at a glance. Good job :)
Haha the horsemen are here! Nice work, It's fun to survive throught the space with a team! There is a lot of content (all that come for the ship). Very good job!
Nice game! I was able to beat it on my third try, had to make a cheat sheet of what to do when encountering what, because I didn't have enough time to react, even with someone on scanners, otherwise. My second run ended when I encountered both a black hole and enemy fighters something like 3% of the way there, my Warp Control was only up to 10% or so -_-. Not sure how the hostile fighters were surviving the black hole...
During gameplay, I had little time to look at any of the displays, really just Efficiency/Required and Warp %, as the rest seemed somewhat inconsequential, at least, until one of my crew members mysteriously died. Probably using that display for something more visual (big red light next to injured crew members, for instance), and display other things more visibly (like, scanned distance, I didn't even realize that was on the display until I looked at it now! The "log" could have a few ghost lines after "Progress 35%" saying, in dark grey, "Scanned: 36%: clear" or something, for a bit more visual display of what knowledge is known and what hazards are approaching.
Had fun with this one, even if one horse didn't make it to safety...
This is really neat. It's a bit inscrutable in some ways. It's not completely clear what you need to do to react to what, but I really like it (played it several times, never quite succeeding).
Just what every spaceships needs a staff wizard and some horses. It is a bit hard to get started with the game and i would still like some more in game explanation how to do stuff what effects what and things likethat but a cool idea for a game very original
Not bad, a bit complicated.

You game is fun, but still need to have a tutorial. I must admit that i only reached the end after i read your git hit spoiler. Anyway, good job!
Really cool game, kind of like a mix of FTL and Gods Will Be Watching or something. It is a bit difficult figuring out what to do at first, but once you figure it out it's pretty fun! Lots of nice juggling to do. The only problem is that everyone randomly got killed by a black hole? I'm not sure how I could have prevented that. Anyways, very well one!
Like most the people said, it's very difficult. Once you get a bit of the hang of it though, it's very good!
