Music is great. It creates spacetravel mood. Stars are also look nice.

Didn't really like the gameplay, it was kind of bland and hard to understand. I also didn't have any upgrade or fuel planets, so I don't know if this was just bad luck, or if it always happens. The soundtrack on the other hand, is outstanding!! I love it and it fits the theme of your game perfectly

Music is really nice. Interesting concept!

Good job man. Music is great, really helps set the mood.

The stars in the background are lovely and the music really sets the mood!

However, while playing I didn't see the reason to even visit the planets, I just chose a direction and held space until i was fast enough, then all I had to do was wait to win. Feels like it lacks something to connect the elements.

All in all, good job, a bit away from being a great game :)

that music :D really makes it. I think the idea needs some work, but its a solid delivery with no bugs I noticed, and yeah that music.

The visuals was great but the gameplay was a little bit too easy.

I didn't understand how the warp is working.

But it was a good and nice game

Music and background really create needly mood.

Great Features. Nice visuals. But i didnt quiet get the point of the game...

Music was really good! Gameplay was confusing and easy and the menus don't work. To win al you have to do is fly in one direction and wait

Lovely music, gameplay was a little simple but mostly effective and worked well. I felt like some sort of parallax effect on the stars would have helped create a better sense of speed and motion - currently it doesn't really feel like you're moving unless you look at the coordinates changing.

Nice game, enjoyed it very much. Keep it up!

Fantastic music and mood! Fits very well. Graphics are simple but quite nice.

I didn't really understand the objective though. The X and Y seemed to change not consistently and didn't really know what to do with the planets too.

dsthedragon 2018-08-13 13:31

the music and the visual were really good

jakub-kazimierski 2018-08-13 13:41

Music is really great, graphics are good. However I've problem with understanding mechanics of the game, because how inconsistent they feel.

teo-miklethun 2018-08-13 14:02

Great game! I want an entire game made out of the escape from the planet's gravity mini-game!

Hey there, congratulations! Nice job finishing the game :smile:

I think I had a bug (couldn't skip that screen - I think I pressed warp during it iirc), but it is ludumdare, it happens. Okay let's get to the criticism:

• I really like the music, since you're participating the Music rating, I'd imagine you did it yourself, which is awesome. I could listen to this the whole day!

• The movement lack move feel. I think if you add a parallax background would help a lot to feel your spaceship flying, since that is the majority of your game I think that can improved.

In overall, good job! If you continue this game, let me know (my infos are on my ld profile). Do you mind to give feedback to my game as well? (It's a platformer, I don't know if you like the genre but it is important for me to have feedback from player that like and dislike it) (:

I wanted to love this, but I could only like it in its present form. One standout for sure was the music--which was quite nice. You have a lot of good feedback already so I'm not going to rehash it. I hope you can tweak things and I'd honestly love to give it another play or two. :) Take care!
