Amazing chill space music! The screen transitions are mega too! A lovely take on the theme, great job!

This one is soothing, tickles my preference for exploring things, and funny to boot! A ton of pop culture references, then gravity effects were great, and I enjoyed the pull-back launch mechanic.

A few times I mis-launched because I was already lining up the launch when the game then refocused on the earth after a ship crashed in the distance. And the game froze (web version) when I tried the second to last waypoint on my second playthrough.

I enjoyed this a lot!

Super cute, very polished entry and I appreciate all the goofy humor.

Very funny! I enjoyed the references, and that the encounters seemed generally not too hard or deadly...though it's convenient that we don't mind crashing ships willy-nilly to begin with. I was disappointed at the very "colorful metaphors", glad I tried this one when the kids weren't around. A nice low-stress game for laughs!

I really enjoyed this! The core gameplay is fun enough to get you all the way to the end. The little stories on each waypoint also makes discovering them a treat. The physics were fun to mess around with as well, I like how you applied limited space to not only the story but also the cramped play space.

I liked making jam from the astronauts, fun little game and the physics was entertaining to mess around with. Language was not to my taste as I play these with kids about, A little warning would have been nice, overall great job :heart:

Despite the corny jokes I felt compelled to keep exploring. I like how the game got harder because unexplored objects were further away.

Very cool, The jokes are funny I like the connection between the fuel and the theme! Well done to the team ! :D

What a cool game and mash up of mechanics, I love it. Vibes through the roof on the whole game. The music is catchy too!

I got 107 astronauts killed, but i did learn the difference between meteors and meteorites so that's something. This was a fantastic game, i had great fun carving paths towards waypoints by just yeeting ships at full speed into anything in the way. Well done!

I really enjoyed it with all the corny jokes and just chucking ship after ship into space. Sorry 61 astronauts, your sacrifice - and accidentally getting run over by follow up rockets - wasn't in vain!

This was fun. I'm not sure what was going on the entire time, but I did enjoy it. Even the jokes.

It's a mixed bag for me. Visuals and music are nice, writing is fun, it also feels polished. But the fact that you cannot interact with the game, besides the initial launch of the ship, makes it a bit boring. Also, visiting waypoints did not feel that rewarding (text is fun, but what about the bonus?).

Cool music, good references) For me it turned out to be more interesting than "Starfield")

savolae 2023-10-03 19:16

Great one, loved the jokes and references. Also I really like the way you used the theme.

andruid 2023-10-04 18:34

I had a great time playing the game! So well polished, a ton of jokes, music was fantastic, graphics beautiful, story rich and the mechanics were very very interesting!

tucan 2023-10-05 04:50

This would make a great mobile game. I love exploring and with this game I got the whole galaxy! The music was calm and soothing. I really liked the jokes! Great job!

strangeryann 2023-10-13 09:20

I really enjoyed that!

the [no spoilers] was the 22nd I found during my playthrough

I really like the snooker dynamics as well

there's lot of nice quality-of-life stuff in there like the arrow pointing you to the next point of interest or the tiny fog-of-war triangles that disappear once they're small enough - very satisfying!

also the little descriptions when u find a piece of interest kept me going and playing for an odd 1/2h or whatever --- I really wanna reach that point with the story in the games we make with my team for our next Jam!

and yeah the graphics are nice, the humour made me giggle, the music is fantastic

little gem right there! looking forward to playing your next game m8s :grinning: :sparkles:

Really cool game!

I really enjoyed launching multiple rockets and sacrificing its crew to discover new stuff!

All jokes aside I liked this game a lot, Great job team!
