Web version or bust.

Surprisingly fun to play! Also liked the somewhat 2D vibes the game give even though it's made in 3d.

It took a little while to get the hang of how to fly around, but after doing so it felt very nice and atmospheric, to which the bold visual choices amazlingy contributed. Well done!

Solid experience for 40 hours left, congrats! I think your theme, audio and mood were your strengths here. It was eerie having this red giant growing in my peripheral as I was frantically trying to find more ammo. Took me a minute to get my bearings but after that it was a solid game loop idea.

I found the mouse sensitivity to be a massive issue for the playability. But my main issue was there were several times I went to the blinky red lights and despite looking all around I couldn't find ammo near some of them.

Congrats on your upload!

Very sensitive controls, cool idea, difficult to see in space. Music sets the mood quite well. The spaceship looks nice :)

Kinda hard to orient yourself, otherwise cool idea and execution. Good job!

Agree on the sleep idea. Gotta have a mind to think! Great job on the submission very fun.

Nice aesthetic and atmosphere. Controls were a bit sensitive but other than that nice entry

Really well made game. I love the eerie aesthetic you get from the massive sun watching you from the distance while you frantically search for the red lights in the dark of space. Music was very cool and fitting too. Would have loved to have some kind of animation for the gun firing so you can see your hard earned shells launch off into the distance.

Lots of fun, only remark would be to add a sound to the oxygen replenisher, it's a bit annoying to concentrate on staying close to it and at the same time having to look at the top left hud to make sure it's working.

Good game! I think it's worth lowering the level of the "fish eye", add a few pointers and it will be just right!

Lots of mood from visuals and soundtrack/ambient SFX. Love the in-world tutorial! Mouse was uber sensitive for me in HTML5 version. Good entry.

Absolutely love the eerie aesthetic and the ambient sounds. Enjoyable game! Great job!

Really enjoyed the controls. Felt fun and polished.

I got a score of 7368 with a survival time of 1284.03 seconds.

The colour palette was great. Very ominous.

Interesting idea and a nice ominous environment, but I just couldn't get used to the controls.

A really fun game and a good take on the theme. :D I do appear to have caught a case of the stupid though since I died two times to simply forgetting oxygen was a thing, some kind of warning sound would have been appreciated to help my failing mind. :D
