Like it! Couldn't get more than 79m from the planet though :(

This is a fun little game! I'm definitely a fan of the idea of being in direct control over the thrusters. That said, either I really suck at it or it's just too hard. It gets a little confusing having to deal with the satellite spinning every which way. I'd recommend trying to make it a bit easier to pick up (although, again, maybe I just really suck at it).

Overall, great job!

The game is nicely executed. Played it for quite some time :D 10/10 for space drifting! Overall Sound, graphics, gameplay and music blend together so well. Making this an absolute treat to play. Again, SPACE DRIFTING YAAS

Very cool looking game, and I like the mechanics for controlling the satellite. Overall though, I found trying to play frustrating. It took me a couple of tries just to figure out what direction I needed to go with the satellite, and then I found the obstacles incredibly numerous and very hard to avoid with any regularity. I had to skip both levels after being unable to beat them. Regardless, thank you for participating!

Thanks to all of you for your feedback! I did get kinda teary seeing that it's well received! I will remember to adjust the difficulty for my next game!

I found the controls a little tricky, but then again i guess the controls are supposed to be the challenge! I liked the music and thought it meshed well with the artwork. Good Job.

Seemed a bit harsh considering how little view distance you have to plan and how thick the asteroid belt is. I really liked the visuals, in particular the aiming lasers for the projectiles had a nice feel to them.

This game is hard! Did you manage to beat it yourself? Either way, it seemed like a really interesting idea and was a nice take on the theme. I will say, though, that I didn't even recognize that the bar above was a power bar at first (even though it's clearly labeled as such). The story was nice and refreshing, and it was delivered rather well, in my eyes. Overall a good start that probably needs a bit more mechanics tweaking.

I really enjoy the game, the graphics are great, and I like too much the jogability, it's very good, congrats for the job

Very hard but enjoyable. Good job!

Really nice job. This is super-hard, but that doesn't take away from all the things you've got going on here. Any compo entry that actually includes sound is a big deal to me! Interesting, fun game for 48 hours!

I really like the concept of the game, the fact that you can enable or not the stabilizers and can control thrust or rotation in every direction. However since there was a time limit I found myself just pushing forward, slightly correcting my trajectory and just hoping for the best but since there was a ton of asteroids I never managed to reach the planet. The music was nice but the sound that the text made was a bit annoying. The art is simple but does it's job nicely. Overall nice job but I would make the amount of fuel the limit instead of just time. That would make for much more interesting gameplay in my opinion.

Really nice game. It's quite hard to control the drone at first but once you get it, it's not that hard. Well, until you reach level 2. It can be a bit unfair when you get trapped by some rocks and so you cannot avoid shots, so this was a bit frustrating. Also, it feels like most of the difficulty comes from the fact that if you go too fast, you don't have time to avoid the rocks because you see them too late. Maybe having some more vision would help, but it might not be your goal :) . Except these few points, it is a really solid entry, one of the best I tried so far.
