How does the game fit the theme?

Really nice game. I think there is a lot of potential. The mechanics are fun and the storyline is hilarious. Impressive how much has been dome.

Unfortunately I could not get past the aliens. The game is a bit unforgiving, in my opinion, as it resets you to the start.

While the mechanics are explained nicely and gradually with a highlighting tutorial, there was at times a lot to read at once, factoring in the chat panel.

Overall a really good game, and with those points addressed, I'd say it is pretty solid!

Another space systems game. I like it. The alien kept getting me and I am doing something wrong there, but fun wee narrative game. 

This was my first game jam and I worked on a similar concept with my game. Take a look and see what you think. I've been told by a few folk that it lacked a tutorial and that was a major miss on my side. Your tutorial and guide was a good addition.

Well done! All systems felt well thought out, and had a coherent art style. Music and sound effects fit the atmosphere well. The text was a little bit hard to read for me, since it was quite small.

I enjoyed playing, it was a lot of fun!

I really like the space theme. This is a pretty simple ship "simulator", but still very fun! I will play again, thanks for the great job.

This was a lot of fun! I enjoyed the limited scope into the world and the crazy effects of space travel. I have died a few times to say the least.

The dialog and mechanics really sell the game here. I think the pacing could use a small amount of tuning, but the experience is authentic, unique, and held my attention thoroughly. Would love to see some expansion on this formula.

this game is cool, i love the idea the style and the way it plays. It is a little unengaging but i think with some more work it would be awesome. I also wish i had a toggle to keep my system at the elevel i set it and then just have the core enegy go down but overall great job!
