I found it hilarious having the cargo pushing me all over the place while gunning the throttle. The game is very nice visually, and mechanically fun to play. Well done!

The artwork is very nice. I like how the ship kind of looks like a penguin if you look at it right.

The ship could use a little torque dampening so the ship doesn't weirdly veer off in a random direction.

Fun concept. Flying one package was interesting when I got to five it was a little too much.

Great, atmospheric music! I also enjoyed the physics on the packages. The "rope" effect looked really good while flying through space.

I enjoyed this! Did start getting annoyed when having a few packages and they would just bounce around and push me, they ended up surrounding me and i could go anywhere because i kept bouncing off of the boxes

Love the physics of the games and the planet marble design is very cool, nice job

I liked how the packages throw you around if you have alot, art is really nice, the planets look clean. A health system would be nice to make me not want to crash into everything

This is a cool idea. It does feel a little bit lacking. Maybe if there were some sort of time constraint and you could choose to take more packages at once at the risk of them bouncing around and causing damage to your ship and save time, or play it safe with only one or two at a time.

I kinda love how unruly flying around becomes when you have a bunch of packages strapped to the back of the ship. I do wish there was a bit more decision making in the game loop, maybe for like picking different packages. Overall I thought it was fun though!

Good idea and good delivery. Would love to see some loss conditions (driving into an asteroid probably isn't healthy)

Sehr cool XD

Really like the art for the planets, looks really cool! also very nice music.

I love the physics on the rope and how the packages can push you around.

The web build was not happy with me - not sure if others have had issues with it too, but just an FYI.

The rope physics were great, I have played a couple other games kinda like this and you guys nailed the packages attaching to the ship :)

The art and atmosphere was awesome, nice chill game loop.

I agree with some of the other comments that some more challenge would be good. At the same time though, sometimes its nice to just cruise and not worry about dying in the endless void of space. Some of us have families at home and we need a nice safe space delivery job!

Great work squad :)

Nice little game, it would really benefit from having more sources of danger, maybe the various objects could have some gravitational pull and you could crash in them for example? It would make it more engaging. Anyway, it feels like the game features quite a bit of procedural generation which is always nice to see. :)

Good physics and fun game but the difficulty and time to complete the different levels remains similar despite the number of packs
