Game crashed when I destroyed an asteroid :(.

Gave it a try, it's nice little game. The physics are nice, very ice skate feeling. Sadly I'm not a good shot with the ship, it turns a little fast for me to be able to aim long shots, so feels like I had to skirt clost to everything to get a shot off at it.

I died a couple of times when passing over the planet, or just randomly in space. Think maybe asteroids spawned right on top of me, or were hidden behind the planet.

I liked the teleport zones, though I didn't understand them very well.

Your Art was very nice, and I would certainly be interested in what you make in the future.

I do not get money for mentioning it... ;-) But this video helped me a lot to finish my game this time... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYUfXay_Pio

LD 39 I had a realy nice and fancy idea... But couldn't finish... This time (LD40) I did it the other way around... Simple gameplay and then the nice and fancy things... Ok - it's just a tetris clone but I broke the curse of not finishing in time ;-)

Sad you didnt finished it. Nice try though, it's quite fun to control :)

Pretty good concept. Good Luck with future development!

Haha, wow does this ever remind me of my LD#39 entry! _(I had to cut a whole section here just talking about all the coincidences...)_

Anyway! You where off to a good start, I think. I wonder where it would have lead? Why where there so many types of different mineral?

Why'd you opt-out of graphics? I think the art is _really_ nice.

Better luck next time! :smile:

Here is a thing: Ctrl + LR-arrows on macOS is used to move back and forth between desktops. So that make this game a bit unwieldy to play.

The simple parallax effect looks really nice though.

Good luck on completing your entry in LD41.
