Hey there, as a heads up, looks like all your github links are 404ing, might be a permissions issue.

@binary-coder Thanks for the headsup fixing ASAP.
It's quite pretty and challenging - I wish I could have been looking at the main screen most of the time instead of focusing on the dial at the bottom almost the entire time. If the jump gauge was overlaid on the main graphics with some special kind of particles or something I think I would enjoy myself more. Nice to see a fellow LÖVE game!
challenging but really fun! fits the theme quite well.
I really liked the HUD display being another indicator for the player as well as the spaceship. I would suggest having a purple target for the spaceship to follow. I found myself looking at the HUD to play the game and I feel like I miss out on the pretty space art. Great game!
Got it working. Definitely unstable, found it difficult to stay within the area of the circle.
No prob! Just played, very fun! Also good use of animations and particles, everything felt very responsive!
I managed to get the game to work on Windows.
The controls certainly felt "unstable" to me! It's an interesting concept, albeit I found my eyes mostly on the bottom of the screen trying to keep one needle inside a wider needle. It's a bit of a problem if you want to display important information on the top of the screen.
Some of the sci-fi references here are a bit over my head, but I did have fun!
@stellarluminant, @cromo Thanks for the feedback. I definitely realized much too late into development that I had created that UI problem for players. If I have time to update this at some point, I'd definitely find a better way to display that information.
that 1000000000 souls on that ship really touched me. Such amazing numbers. I tried it many times. I wanted to know if i icould hit the pink thing, couldn't. I just kept winning it was like i was born to play this game and see those rockets. Real vibes man. But, all things came to an end when the success hit me. Then i tried to fail and boy did i die quickly. Nice work with the rockets the swirling stars and the custom meter. That seemed hard! xD
Kudos! the first of the ludum dare games that actually kept me playing!!!!! Rewarding, fun, hard to master....
oh, by the way - what's a LÖVE game? @cromo
@piper-thompson It's a really nice to use, high-control/lower level game framework that you code for in Lua. https://love2d.org/ I've been meaning to learn something else for a while, but I just keep coming back to LÖVE because it just _makes sense_ to me!
Thanks for the explanation @cromo 🤩
Interesting idea with balancing inside the bar and I liked the simple and clear controls. The graphics on top looked nice, I like the ship and the jump to hyperspace effect! Unfortunately I felt like I couldn't look at it because I had to focus on the indicator on the bottom to not die.
A good fit for the theme!
It's very simple core gameplay, but the wrapping around it is all a lot of fun. The animations and backstory add a lot to the game.
nice game! love the theme, and you did a great job with the effects!

The graphics are mesmerizing and learning to control the ship is super fun. i also love the concept and the text between each of the levels
this game is great. led [3391AB](https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1456832868113657&id=636111480185804) 0.39 inch [3391BB](https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1456834194780191&id=636111480185804) display [3932AB](https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1456836054780005&id=636111480185804) 7-segment [3932BB](https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1456838858113058&id=636111480185804) led [3391AG](https://sites.google.com/view/7-segment-led-matrix-lanpade/0-39-inch/3-digit/3391ag) 0.39 inch [3391BG](https://sites.google.com/view/7-segment-led-matrix-lanpade/0-39-inch/3-digit/3391bg) display [3931AB](https://sites.google.com/view/7-segment-led-matrix-lanpade/0-39-inch/3-digit/3931ab) 7-segment [3931BB](https://sites.google.com/view/7-segment-led-matrix-lanpade/0-39-inch/3-digit/3931bb)
