The graphics are really nice. Didn't like how you controlled the movement, made it too difficult to avoid hitting asteroids.

I could figure out my left and right hand nav controls but couldn't figure out how to interact in any way. So I assumed it was just me and only voted on the things I could experience. I love the look, the feel, the creepy sound track, the sound design. And I played the game in the first place because the title card was just so. Damn. Funny.

I really liked the overall visuals and the vibe. I could picture it being fun trying to run around an juggle piloting and repairing - but it just wasn't fully there yet. It might have benefited from everything being slower and more methodical. Still, great job over all - I could totally see what you were going for.

Pros: Graphics, and sounds design, they are awesome. Great atmosphere. Cons: Controls - a way to control the ship via gamepad or a keyboard would be much better than having to press the on-screen buttons. You can still keep working on the game, I saw many LD games being published after a few months.

Really cool graphics and sound. I was unsure what I was doing or needed to be doing, other than dodge and click the wrenches. I finally figured out I didn't have to click the arrow keys with my mouse, but could use the keyboard's arrows. Maybe add a brief description to this page with some instructions might help.

Cool visuals and mood. The game is however very cryptic in what you have to actually do outside of piloting the ship, which is very chaotic. Something like an objective or score could have helped. Nice little game overall.

Graphics and sounds are so cool, but it was just too hard to control that way

The mouse sensitivity is slightly higher, which can cause a little discomfort. The UI scaling of the start screen has a little problem. Overall it's an interesting game.

I like the idea, graphics are awesome, but still needs the tutorial, because i am still not sure how to repair the ship, sound are amazing GJ!

This really captures the uneasy feeling of being in a dangerous situation of being in an asteroid field while your ship could blow up at any moment. Really like the soundscape and the visuals, I particularly liked the sfx for when asteroids hit the ship with the alert sound. I had a hard time playing this since the mouse sensitivity was very high, and I wasn't sure how to repair my ship or keep it's blue fuel filled. Still though, there's a neat premise in here with the multitasking of piloting your vessel and fixing the parts of it to win.

Awesome graphics and I love the interactable ship. I didn't understand what to do or how to use anything.

graphics is really very impressive

The visual aesthetics is awesome! I did not understand what different energy bars are for and how to replenish them, thought going through blue circles might do something, but it seemed to not affect the ship in any way. Also the mouse sensitivity seems to be higher when interacting with the control panle. The music together with visuals creates a nice outer space atmosphere. Overall the game is pretty neat!

Game looks awesome, I was instantly intrigued at what looked like a Sea of Thieves in space, fixing your ship kind of thing (shame it wasn't coop), but I really struggled with the controls. I knew what I was meant to be doing but couldn't figure out how. It might be worth adding some more details about the controls in the description and I'd be happy to have another go..
