Awesome game! I had lots of fun. I got the ending with the free meal at my favourite local diner :) (no spoilers)

Awesome game! I had lots of fun. I got the ending with the free meal at my favourite local diner :) (no spoilers)
Great game! I love the art and little touches of music between planets!
Great game! Some Outer Wilds vibes--loved the creativity of the different planets and characters. If I have a piece of feedback (especially if you're going to develop the game further!) it's that the core gameplay loop of flying between planets and delivering cargo could use a little variety--matching velocity with a planet and landing the ship was pretty challenging at first but got a bit repetitive. Maybe some space weather, or planets that are more difficult to land on for whatever reason? Still had a good time overall, and appreciated the well-done space hijinks!
Actually pretty fun! I was very surprised at how fast planets come in from off screen at first, I maaaaaay have crashed a few times. The music seems to cut in/out for some reason I found though, drifting through space I felt I was missing it half the time which was sad! Great job!
I'm sure you were inspired by Outer Wilds and I love it. The characters were the best thing, we wanted to keep playing just to meet the next character and planet. The controls of the ship are quite nice too and is fun getting good at landing the ship.
One of the best games we have seen so far. Very well done!
Really liked the concept of the game, it can be expanded in so many ways! I would love it to be more easy to navigate, but it was really enjoyable. Some other ships to battle, weather or meteors to destroy could be fun to add
This was enjoyable, this game gave me a fun feeling of traversing space similar to Outer Wilds. The exact landing on planets took a few tries but I did get the hang of it. I played it for a good while and made several special deliveries, but never could find an ending. I bought all upgrades and was just stockpiling money at a point. I did appreciate the thruster upgrades, I would move so fast any unexpected planets were an instant respawn!
Playing the game was a very relaxing mood overall, great work!
Thanks for all of the great feedback everyone! :smile: ---
@toppervideogames Re: not finding an ending - We did have plans to make the storylines a bit easier to follow / let players know when certain missions were ready, but ran out of time unfortunately :(
Some of the story characters will tell you to come back after doing some deliveries, so if you get stuck, revisiting some of the main planets (Terrus, Haldor, Alban) might help!
Very cool and very enjoyable :-) Would love to see post-jam version :D Maybe with some additional upgrades to ship and managing your own company after you gather enough cash :-) Would be really cool if planets have gravitational pull - it would travel less static and landing a bit easier :D
Pretty cool game! I like that each planet gets its little touches of sounds. Travel between planets can get a bit long and repetitive, so I think having more dangers or obstacles along the way would be welcome! I also thought easier delivery would simply mean closer planet, but not really, so it didn't really seem worth it for me.
I really like the artwork and especially the whole deco UI and characters! The voices were also adorable. One thing I noticed is that the thruster sound has some noise, at least on my headphones. It would also be cool to have an indication that you crashed since the first couple of times I didn't really realize what had happened 😅 Oh the overall atmosphere was super chill too!
Cool game, I enjoyed the mood while traveling from planet to planet. I do feel the gameplay itself while moving from planet to planet can be quite boring. Would be interesting if there was a bit more strategy to it. Sounds and art are on point!
A really well designed game, a very suitable sound and visual atmosphere and an efficient physics! Once the driving is mastered the game becomes a bit too simple for me, but I still managed to crash into a planet ^^ . Well done !
I love the vibe of this game, nice entry
@zerfalex Glad you enjoyed it! I've partially fixed the thrust audio compression for the web build, so thanks for letting us know! :smile:
The game looks so cool and fun, but the lending turned out way too difficult for me to master. I've managed to make only one delivery >_<
Very nice game. I loved the look of the alien creatures and the different planets you visit. The ship physics felt just right. It took me a little while to find the dropdown that points you to where you need to go, but overall the game was a very fun experience.
Thats amazing, I was thinking of making some space delivery game too. But sticked to simple terrusian stuff)
Nice game, I enjoyed the overall calm mood when flying through the space and that you can upgrade your ship and the fun dialogues. Did not play to the end, but I keep it in the bookmarks for a later adventure in space :smile:
Fun delivery game. I really like the art style, especially the UI and character portraits. The sound effects were a good touch as well.
Amazing!!! I had fun during this game. Nice job
nicely implemented game about space, I've anjoyed from sounds
What a nice game! I like the atmosphere of space. Good job with the sound. Thank you for your game!
