Graphics were pretty dull, although they helped to setup a nice athmosphere. (pun intended) The game was painfully easy and very repetitive. I believe that shrinking the time and adding a bit more challenge could have done alot to keep up the interest. The ship controlling mechanic was nice, but I rarely had to use it. I really like the setting and mood of the game and looking out of the ships windows was a great starting experience. Overall okay work, could have used more challenge and time on sounds & ui.

i love the way you can switch between control of the ship and the pilot. 2020-04-21 10_26_20-Window.png

No Mac export! Please export for Mac and I'll give it a go!

Added Mac and Linux versions to the itch.io, but I have no way to test either of them right now. And yeah, it ended up being way easier than I expected. It was too hard and I kept making it easier but I ended up doing too much to make it easy.

I love the idea of collecting stuff and using it to power the ship, very nice. Plus space theme is my favorite. Mac version can't run on its own, it misses execution mark on the binary (chmod +x).

I really like the multi-genre spanning. It definitely has the beginnings of a cool (possibly multiplayer) game. Was there music? If so, I didn't hear any. I also think it would be interesting to add some kind of obstacles or something for the flying of the ship. Initially I tried to avoid everything.

The idea of the game is definitely there. But there are some problems. The models themselves are good but they lack materials and textures. Just some simple materials could have help out a lot. The animation to switch between control of the player and control of the ship was really well done and the ability to see outside the ship helped a lot. The game play was a little lackluster. It is too repetitive. Something to add some variety would go very far. whether just a shop or something or some obstacles. The controls were also a little slippery when walking around but besides that the controls were great!

Fun game, a bit slow though, and it lacks a tutorial. I liked the idea of switching between two type of games, especially how you can see the collectibles in when you're in the spaceship.
