This was a lot of fun to play, my only problem with it was just not having hit indicators on some things like the alien eggs which makes it hard to know if your shots are doing anything. Nice graphics but the audio was really repetitive.
I found it hard to control at times, but it was fun over all and I liked the graphics.
Nice! Reminds me of Everspace, which is a good game. Controls are a bit slippery, even with the inertial dampeners but turning feels nice.
was a little bit hard to controle, but still fun game! Cool!
As previously written - it is difficult to control the ship. Because of this, I could not reach the first hyperspace.
Very fun game, love the dog fight mechanics. The Q for any reason disappeared. Overall a nice game
it was indeed hard to control the ship. I achieved 3 levels.
Hard to control (but could just be im not used to this type of game), cool effects and audio and feels really pollished! Great work

The upgrades are very noticeable. I had fun playing this one, it definitely doesn't feel like a game jam game in that it feels more complete. Well done.

The controls is not the best, and it's really difficult to find what shoots you. But okay the idea was good, and both the music and visuals is overall also pretty good.
The controls at the start were really difficult to control until I unlocked some of the upgrades. I really like the idea, it feels like a space rougue like game.
Very cool, reminds me of elite dangerous in many ways! A pilot, alone against the universe, braving untold dangers and unknowable cosmic horrors... I love it! You go guys!
congratulations! the game is very well done
I like the game overall. The first few times I started though I was killed instantly by an enemy behind me. It's a little difficult to fly with any precision, so getting the quarks can be really challenging.
Don't know why, i seem to be the only one with this problem, but i couldn't open the game properly. A pitty as i would have wanted to rate it. Is the problem on my side or can you maybe fix it somehow? Really no idea what happened :(
Edit: maybe i should mention, that my computer is filled to the brim with stuff and i litteraly only have 50 MB storage space left. Maybe that could be the problem

nice, although I feel like the movement is very slow (despite upgrades). For a jam game, it's nicely done!

Crashed after execute, without any output
Nice! Upgrades helped a lot. I felt more capable over time.

This red ship is too powerful!

Not sure why so many people were complaining about the ship being difficult to control. Seemed pretty straightforward to me. Hitting targets while moving, though, was pretty challenging (not that that's a bad thing). I found I had to pretty much sit still to hit stationary targets. Pretty enjoyable to play, though. Found it kind of funny when you could go faster than your lasers and run into them, causing them to flip around. :D
If you push this further, there are a few things that could be tweaked, especially with the visual language. There's a LOT of red. Red ships, red lasers, red Q's floating in space. I think level 5 or 6 is just all red, and it's difficult to tell what's going on. Also sometimes difficult to tell the difference between a distant eyeball and a star.
If you do an upgrade system for future jams, I've seen a few games have a shortcut to buy all the upgrades for people with limited time, which is a cool idea for games like this, so players that are struggling can skip the grind.
Made it to level 7 but did not complete it. Kept running into the time limit, which is rough when you're trying to kite that many enemies and stay alive.

I think the flight controls were rather okay. I think they got a lot better once I actually unlocked the inertial dampeners. The game runs really great, being built Rust it has awesome performance. Sometimes when shooting things far away, it wouldn't register my lasers hitting it, that or I just have a very poor aim. All in all a very impressive submission.
Also for some reason I cant seem to figure out how to download the source code. On the Github release page, when I go to download the source code it just has a readme file.
