Pretty fun chill delivery game, kinda felt like a mix of Outer Wilds, Easy Delivery Co and Astroneer, really nice and cool! Made 10 deliveries before calling it quits. image(18).png

Cool project! i like the graphics a lot but the audio is peak! the radio transmissions in space sound incredibly good and really add to the athmosphere.

I dont know what I'm delivering, why I'm delivering or to whom I'm delivering. All I know is: WWAAAAAWEUMWEUUUMMM!

Really well done, I playe for quite a bit just delivering it was easy to get in and pick up, I got kinda (soft) stuck on the first time my fuel ran out because I thought it was some signal strenght or something and drove full throttle through space then had no fuel and was still going super fast and the fuel bot couldnt reach me only after like half a minute of me looking at him menacingly but slowly creeping up to me (I almost thought he wanted to eat me alive or something) until I realized: Oh Gas! Yeah thats what I need, come closer buddy!

I really liked the visuals and the sounds were also fitting! A really nice game! :3

Im a huge sucker for space games, yours reminded me of Outer Wilds and Spore. Would be glad to see upgrades for spaceship to spend money, but anyway feels good. Really like cozy design of ship, player and aliens.

Super super fun game going back and forward to deliver, and I love space games in general. One problem I'd have to say is that game doesn't feel like I can do much else to do like upgrades or more of a reason to keep going. Other than that a very fun game! Good job :)

I had a good time wandering in the space in this well executed little game !

Bold idea to make a space flight sim in a gamejam, and impressive how well you managed.

It would've been nice if you had managed to attach some gamified goal, be it reaching a a specified amount of money, costing more to refuel than you gain so you can try to get as many deliveries as you can before losing, or some kind of time pressure. But as is, it's still a nice "toy" if you will, fun to play around with for a while.

Small note, the text font seemed really low res to the point of being just a few-pixel blur on my (linux) machine regardless of what I set the resolution to. The "press space to start" on the screen was near unreadable.

It's not bad, but it lacks a purpose.

Visually, the game looks great and feels good, but in reality, you're just delivering packages from point A to point B, and it's not that interesting. I'm also not a big fan of the camera; I think it could have been positioned higher above the ship.

I really love space themes and it was fun and cool, I love flying yeee

I loved flying the spaceship and being able to travel around the planets delivering packages.

I felt like I was in Futurama, probably one of my favorite cartoons.

I felt the game's premise was somewhat vague.

The low-poly models looked very charming.

A good and fun game.

Cool little game. I liked that there was some space navigation and that you could land on the planets. The graphics were a cool mix. Nice work!

Really cute game! A bit hard to control for me, I keep overshooting every now and then, but I love it

If you're able to upload a web version I will give it a go :v: thanks!

The part I enjoyed most was exploring the little planets. I imagined a bunch of NPCs asking for things and various side quests. :)

And let me tell you: I'm a terrible pilot... :(

Very beautiful and comfortable game.

Congratulations!
