The use of physics in this game is really cool. I love the fact that when you hook an astronaut or a box and it starts to sway that your ship becomes impacted by the force of the object as well.

The signal loss and noise affecting ship control was also a great touch. And the atmosphere is really cool and spacey. This was a really good entry!

I really like the mechanic! Being able to make the signal move through nodes is very interesting! I would have liked a bit more control over the ship it kept crashing into walls or even the astronaut himself XD

Dude this was great, my favourite so far. Took a bit of time to dust off my old "lander" skills, but once I got the hang of it, it was really fun trying to get my little guy home. Really felt like i was on a dangerous mission to save a dude with limited resources. (I lol'd the first time I splatted him against a cliff)

If I had one criticism I would say that maybe the combination of tricky Lander-style controls with the signal mechanic makes the difficulty a bit high. I would maybe make flying a bit easier so that players can focus more on the unique "control signal" mechanic.

But I got all the way to the end and had a lot of fun doing it. well done

Best one I played so far. Very well executed. Love the audio in particular, both SFX and music.

Actually really fun to play, I like this lunar lander movement style games. Excellent work, enjoyed this one!

this is the most frustrating thing I've experienced in my entire life. But only like 15% of that frustration doesn't feel like it was deliberate

Very cool experience, just a little too punishing for misplacing relays, imo

Incredible game, with potential to be commercialized.
