Do you plan to make a web build? Could you ping if yes, I'd like to play it

william-corrin 2026-04-20 07:34

The graphics are absolutely gorgeous. How did you make the black hole? It looks seriously stunning.

Unfortunately, I get kind of sick with roll-based rotation so i had to stop after not very long of playing. But the presentation and graphics are just fantastic, well done!

the visual assets look really cool!!

Сool game, but when my fuel was completely gone I inertially flew into the cube but nothing happened and I died. I don't know if it was planned, but when I restarted the game, I only needed to find the last satellite

@tweekus Here it is, hope you enjoy the game! :smiley_cat: @william-corrin Cheers! You can find all my source code on my GitHub. It was made by Godot Shaders. @cupofmilk7 Thanks! I'm so glad to hear it. :purple_heart: @mrmastin Thanks for your feedback! I have already uploaded a little hotfix.

Love the game! It's really atmospheric and the black hole animation/shader is phenomenal. This alone had captivated me.

It was a nice little game! I loved the skybox so much! And the ship interface is nice too especially the cat! :)

I could see this being a really sweet VR game. I was definitely vibing in space with my pet cat. Loved it

tanjou 2026-04-20 15:55

Simply beautiful. Amazing work! Was a bit hard to get the hang of it, but t'was a fun ride.

Hello from XK discord!

A very atmospheric game. Navigating by radar is a bit tricky, but I really liked the idea of exploring outer space!

It was a cool game but I had astraphobia while playing it... the blackhole nearby is terrifying.

mr-flower 2026-04-20 21:12

So so so good, it was so fun moving through space, having that floaty feeling of everything. Also that black hole OH MY GOODNESS I need to read through your source code and "borrow it", holy cow it's so good. Plus I need to get good at shaders anyways, I am garbage, lol. Again, fantastic stuff :D

The project's presentation, the conveyance of the atmosphere, the music and sounds are simply top-notch. One of the most beautiful projects at the jam. ​The cat on the dashboard deserves a separate like.

The visuals are amazing! But unfortunately, the gameplay is pretty basic :( . It's also easy to get lost in space, and the map isn't much help since it doesn't show whether your destination is above or below you

debugman18 2026-04-21 00:41

Awesome entry! It's pretty simple, but the movement feels really good.

drainkid 2026-04-21 06:01

Moody as hell, despite the gameloop being pretty relaxed its stressful just 'cause of the cramped perspective and music. Really neat stuff.

stepanoff 2026-04-21 12:34

A dangerous and stressful space journey. But for me, everything ended well!

stisdan 2026-04-21 13:13

this game is super moody and looks gorgeous especially that black hole shader and the cat on the dashboard but the roll rotation made me a bit motion sick and navigation is kind of tricky since the map is hard to read and the gameplay is pretty basic overall though the movement feels great and it's a really solid atmospheric experience

allexeee 2026-04-21 14:54

I liked it! I am a space cat. Nice!

crowelian 2026-04-21 15:01

Wow! The black hole, the cat, the graphics! Great job! Oh I wish you would have made more realistic spacecraft physics, not real of course, but some more floatiness. :)

shadyshade 2026-04-21 20:00

@fabelay @termight @jpat @tanjou @torte478 @metalgear @mr-flower @makintosh @faketrap @debugman18 @drainkid @stepanoff @stisdan @allexeee @crowelian Thank you all so much for your feedback! :purple_heart:

jester1454 2026-04-21 21:53

The controls are nice, although I felt a little nauseous at first. I still don't understand if there's a happy ending? The music gets annoying at some point, but I liked the graphics and the atmosphere

shakirovich 2026-04-22 03:26

Tried to get to the black hole. Good atmosphere and controls

zyertdox 2026-04-22 19:01

A very beautiful and atmospheric game!

lereveur 2026-04-22 22:00

I loved the mood of this game! I managed to finish the first time but probably more because it was easy than thanks to my skills. No surprise with the end though, as the name spoil it a little :P Well done!

ottobroccoli 2026-04-24 13:12

A beautiful visual style — everything looks great. I especially liked how clear and easy to read the minimap is. Great job!

shernik 2026-04-24 16:08

The cool feeling of flying and the feeling of flying

garyglhf 2026-04-28 12:34

Здорово, очень красиво. Механика простая и понятная. Хотелось долететь до черной дыры и заглянуть в нее.
