Excellent, really cool concept, took me back to playing old Amiga driving games.

Haha oh man I was bad at this, but I still had a lot fun being bad. So much to like about it!
A little delight. Fun concept and charming as flip.
Yeah this isn't just a great jam game, it's just a great game. Frustrating but great, haha.
From the first screen this is just obviously very, very good. And it just gets better. More please!
Really feels like this should actually be a real game from the past, in the best way.
Jam packed with mechanics, all brought together so well in such a short time.
Really lovely and cohesive design. Love the music.
A perfectly formed little puzzle game.
Super well formed and polished.
This is the type of game that makes LD so great. A fun, original and concise concept to play that would not have existed otherwise. When it's delivered with as much style as this it's just a very cool bonus. Loved the 'tutorial' screen too.
Tricky and really well formed little game.
Haha yeah it throws you in at the deep end. A start screen would be one of the first things I’d add. Thanks for playing!
Yeah I kind of liked the idea of it being chaos at the start and having to work it all out quickly, but it's definitely not user friendly haha. There was no time for balancing or even testing difficulty really. Thanks for the comments and playing!
Thanks for playing and commenting @rammy294, your kind words are very appreciated. I knew starting without the jetpack would be divisive, but I kind of liked it. If I had time I would have liked to have gone even further with it and seen how it felt spawning the player and jetpack in random places and never knowing where it would be so you would be having to make a mad scramble for it each time!
Thanks @steve-sparkes! Yep, not having time for a score screen was probably the biggest shame. I should have prioritised it over something else in retrospect. I'll definitely be adding one though. Really happy you found that risk/reward loop swinging around the singularity. Thanks so much for playing!
@tontonpizza I'd like to know too! I'm making a post jam version with all the basics like a score screen, a start screen and lots more I didn't have time for in one day.
@ethan-allwood thanks! Yeah, those UFOs are Un Friendly Objects haha.
@rainysolar Thanks! Did you get the jetpack? It is a pretty powerful black hole anyway though!
Nice concept executed with style and charm. A really polished and fun experience.
Hey hey! I'm not sure I knew what I was doing but I was charmed and made a lot of friends haha
A great example of how to achieve depth and fun through simple mechanics.
Well executed concept, atmosphere and overall experience.
Hey, just letting you know, it's probably just Safari being Safari, but the web version just goes to a black screen for me.
Nailed it. This is too well done haha.
