Great work! It's very well balanced and fair, which is tough to do with random generation. Nice entry!

Great work! It's very well balanced and fair, which is tough to do with random generation. Nice entry!
Very good game, introduction is good, clear and there is a map. Concept is simple but very well executed ! Maybe you can polish the animation of ship rotation.
Nice little game. I was about to give up because of sharp difficulty at the beginning but got into it after a minute or two.
The phyrics need a bit of work since you can stop on a dime, takes a bit of the tension out of facing an asteroid.
I really liked it overall though.
Very nice entry - light and simple :thumbsup_tone1:
:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:
Really well done! I gave up because I'm a pretty slow gamer and it was just too fast for me to react in time. But that's on me, other than that it's pretty amazing!
A simple yet effective game! I find myself keep the map visible all the time to find the next closest resources.
Great entry ! easy to understand, more difficult to master (I'm playing on a f*ck*ng french keyboard). Nice job guys !
french keyboard too, tricky to control but still pretty fun to play. Good job !
Pretty good. I had a good time. I thought it was difficult / too random at first, but I got the hang of it and enjoyed what I played. I thought the mini map idea worked well, and provided a nice trade-off of long term visibility vs short term. Nicely balanced, and well made, if a little simple. Thanks for the game!
Really great for your first game! The art and particle effects look great. Thanks so much for bringing it by the stream!
The sounds are a bit harsh, so I turned my volume down quite a bit. I also felt it was a bit weird that moving Up and Down, the ship looks kinda tilted. So just having it straight up or down would maybe make the initial confusion less confusing. Other than that, great concept and fun to try to manage fuel vs oxygen and trying to go fast!
The game was very easy to understand and still very balanced. The art is also decent. Ship movement could improve a lot.
I like your game, you made it relly polished and fun to play, I like retro vibes!
Great job! Love the final design of 3D assets in a 2D game, made the asteroids and stars seem that little more real. Ship, however, does slow down rapidly when changing a direction, so maybe speed that up a smidge, other than that, great game!
Hard to control the spaceship at the beginning. But the game becomes more attractive when I learned how to get the resources under the guide of the map. This game has got the minimal key points of some similar space exploring games.
Got me hooked for a while, really nice game, a little hard at the beginning
Cool little game, found my self trying to watch the map, calculate physics, how long i have left and avoid austeroids all at once.
The audio effects was quite harsh but I felt it fit the game well.
Fantastic job.
It's a interesting game! But the asteroid are too big to avoid.
It is well balanced. And mainly aesthetics are for me what this little gem is about. I love to see the ship not turning smoothly by design, not that it easily could not. I feel some art direction in it overall, knowing what you try to achieve.
Overall: Fun and well presented!
Fun: Very good. I particularly like this game because every time I made an attempt, I felt myself getting a little bit better at it, until I finally won. I think it is well balanced. I found myself keeping the minimap on - which made the screen a bit cluttered - but that's not a complaint, it's the price I have to pay. I was expecting floaty space controls but was pleasantly surprised at the level of control I had.
Innovation: Good, I haven't seen a game like this before.
Theme: A very good interpretation.
Graphics: Good! I like how the graphics feel retro, even though it's all 3d models.
Audio: Good sound effects.
Humor: N/A unless I missed something?
Mood: Good! Normally I expect to hear some music but in this game it is appropriate to have none.
That was.... actually really fun! It's a tense race to the next node of oxygen or fuel, and while having the minimap up is helpful, it's distracted me enough to crash me into an asteroid once or twice! Once I got the hang of things, though, it felt really good to zip around space, doing small boosts to keep my fuel reserves up, while staying fast enough to not suffocate. I actually really like the design decision to make the boosts stop on a dime; while that's not really realistic, it certainly makes a harrowing game like this more forgiving and fun. So many close brushes with asteroids, avoiding death at the last second by boosting the other way... Very fun entry, well done!
Thanks for all the love and constructive feedback everyone! It really means a lot!
