It's a pity that the game has such a strange ending(
Then why did I save these people just to die from a supernova?)

An FTL-esque game! Really nice, with the spacing on the planets giving some leeway and some really not. Is there a good ending to this game? I think I hit a dead-end with the planets and couldn't go further.
that’s fun, I liked it
This was the most interesting game I've played so far. The game was immersive, because everything fit together. I've read that you will keep developing, but in the current version, I felt like there were not enough different objectives or sets of choices on the planets (or I just had bad RNG). At first, I had to think about what to choose, but at some point I just knew the "better" choice for many of them which made the game less interesting after playing for a while. This was the only negative thing I could point out though, everything else was very good!
Thank you very much! I definitely will be spending time to make the dialog more immersive with wider ranges of option and paths to take. I really had to keep my scope as small as I could with this type of game in the time constraints of the jam. Thanks for taking the time to play and give feedback I really appreciate it. Hope you can check back in for the next update. I'm thinking about taking a month to do a big push and see if i can make something really worth sinking teeth into. Cheers!
Pretty fun game, I kept replaying it. If you decide to develop it further, one idea that I think could be nice would be the ability to look a little bit further ahead so that you can try to plan your route a bit more. I often felt like I as just taking blind guesses as to what the best path might be, rather than having enough information to try to make good decisions.
Really liked the strategy and management style of this game! Reminds me of F.T.L haha
This reminds me of an old game I used to play when I was a kid. The different options you can choose make it so much cooler! Honestly, I would love to see further development of the game!
I like the theming you went with for the game, and the supernova acting as a way of pushing you on was cool. I do wish there were a few more interactions, and sometimes the paths between planets overlap and get cluttered, but otherwise, great job!
The concept for this is quite cool and I think it was executed well. The graphics and music fit well with the setting, and I also did feel the urgency and rush of having to figure out where to go next and make decisions per planet. The only thing though is that maybe at the start there could be more indicators on what the controls are because I was initially confused with what to do, but I eventually figured it out.
In general, good job!
I really like the idea! I enjoy sitting down and playing games where it's not about reaction speed but rather about reading, thinking about the best approach, and assessing the situation. Great work!
Incredible game !
I love the idea of going from planet to planet saving people from a dying galaxy, so this game really resonated with me !
You've done an amazing job with this ! Bravo !
