I really like the look of the game. I can't imagine grinding for the black hole tho...

I love space. Cool game, well presented, the UI in particular looked really great. I was a fan of the movement controls for sure. I wanted to try and get a black hole but it would've taken too long :( maybe setting those down at 100 would convince more people to get on the grind lol. I also loved all the secret little easter eggs floating around out in space.

This game seems very grindy but cool idea and great game.

@greenpig @floppynub @anatol-dumitras @jozgames Thanks a ton for playing the game and the feedback, the reason the blackhole is so expensive is that the last tier of the Vaculizer can actually harvest the planets for massive resource gain but since we ran out of time we didn't manage to implement something that teaches the player about it hehe

Cool concept! Might be cool if the area to grab things was a little wider

Very cool idea, lot's of room to build upon. I feel like you braked a bit too harshly and I kept not being sure if I was getting closer to the planets or not. Love the concept!

Given the short deadline, I'm surprised at how polished and well-designed your game is. Keep making games, you have a bright future

Probably the space-centric game I enjoyed the most out of what I've played! The atmosphere and mood are incredible thanks to the environment art and music. I found myself constantly holding shift for any movement, so perhaps next update or if you make a similar game, make sure any boost keys are actually making an impact and don't become a crutch. I did like that you made an effort to make realistic space movement, but at some point, you gotta make some compromises when it comes to balancing realism with fun! I really wanted to upgrade the Vaculizer, but the red suns seemed to be extremely rare and spawn in few and far between intervals. It also took extremely long for me to get the Vaculizer to begin with, so I'd consider moving the minimum required materials much closer to the player so they can have an efficient way to progress further. Cool game with out-of-this-world potential!

It seems I have been sucked into the event horizon. The Vaculizer 10_19_2023 6_24_25 PM.png

Grinding for the suns was a little annoying.
