Beautiful looking game!
But please change the button mapping to not use the Ctrl key. I accidentally hit Ctrl+W, closing the tab while I was playing.
Really cool game once you get used to the controls. Congrats!

Really hard game but done really well. The movement is hard, but not unfair. The art is fantastic and the title screen is one of the best I've seen.

Over the MoonVery cool game. Super hard to get that movement down. I imagine that's what it would really be like to navigate through tight spaces in zero gravity!

The ExplorerGreat game! The gameplay is challenging & addicting. The sprites & level variety are neat. Also, the game fits the look & feel of the Gameboy style.
Issues I encountered:
- Tone down forward acceleration when turning
- Add Music & SFX

Cosmic ClimberThis game looks great--the player character, the little cosmonauts to rescue, the obstacles and background. Everything is distinct and stylish, making the most of the low resolution and the limited palette.
Also, I wasn't getting sound when I played--if it was implemented, for some reason it wasn't working for me.
The big issue for me was the extreme difficulty. It crossed my mind that it might be almost as hard as flying a real spaceship. :D Even in Level 2, the solar winds were just tossing me against the scenery over and over and over... I couldn't really wrest control.

Dagger's Last TestamentI like the look, and I appreciate the concept, but I couldn't even get through the "Enter" space I admit; controls are VERY difficult to get a handle on. A more straightforward design, or more simplistic controls (for example, the ship stopping spinning when hitting "gas" in a given direction), would make this a really neat execution.
The effort is there, and it's still very cool in principle!

Quiet Qu!tAn interesting idea but very wonky movement tbh. Despite that, tanky controls are perfect for a spaceship, it just needs more, uhm, tuning. But even with all the drawbacks, it's a good base for a very nice game!
