Hey! I liked the minimal graphics and game play idea. Would have been good if the background scrolled at the same speed as the level to avoid eye strain. I like the fact the game records how far the ship has travelled too. In general I think there's a good concept to iterating/improving here.

Simple and nice! Great job. I like the level design regarding difficulty curve.

Very ncie idea for game with fun game play. Background give me eye cancer, i had to stop playing after 4th lvl or 5th!

I liked the idea and the minimalist graphics.

Using vector graphics really suits the retro style of this game and compliments the music. Of course, gameplay wasn't that challenging; just moving up and down. If you were to continue with this, consider speeding up the player's movement to make the game more difficult, and perhaps throw in extra obstacles or collectable objects.

TL;DR The mood, graphics and audio compliment each other perfectly making the retro style of the game very clear. The game could do with some challenge, however.

I like the minimalist graphics. The static background made it hard to see the outline of the tunnel however, and some way to speed up in the early levels would be nice.

Hello! I enjoyed playing your game. I liked the art style, but my eyes are hurting a little bit cause the statick background. Music fits the theme. Maybe it can be faster or more difficult in some other way. Thumbs up!

Simple concept, decent execution. As others mentioned, the background makes it hard on the eye and you could make it a little more challenging on the earlier levels.

It seemed too simple. i'll have PTSD from that background.

Simple idea, but nice execution :) It gets a bit monotonic after a while

Background made it harder to play... and that's ok! :smile:

Nice throw-back to the golden age of arcade games. This would be a good start for a "Scramble"-like game if you add some enemies, etc.

Liked that there was a variety of music but sometimes the music wasn't the best. other than that, simple concept and fun game!

A simple game with simple contols.I liked the background patterns too. An idea would be to make an inifinte mode where the speed of play gradually increases.

Funky jams. I liked the game. The difficulty curve is a little wonky.
