Simple concept but it was fun to play. Drifting through space was a very calm experience until those asteroids appear and screw thing up. The maneuvering in this game is wild. Definitely out of control! I managed to get up to 120k points, but it was too hard to get anything above it :( 

Overall, it a well executed game. Great job on the jam!

Weirdly quite zen! That was really good fun! :)

This game somehow manages to have difficult controls, yet the controls aren't bad - they make sense. I think there is plenty of room for more gameplay variety here. Collectible items or powerups, for example, would fit right in with a game like this. 

The art is breathtakingly good. Overall, good submission.

Very interesting, I managed to get my high score of 74106 by doing nothing and just getting lucky.

This is a nice concept, pretty enjoyable to play. Visuals are also pretty sweet. Good job!

Overall good game and a fun concept. Strangely relaxing despite being in a really deadly and scary situation, maybe because of the music.

My only gripe is that it is hard to understand that the score is based on the distance you traveled and not just the time you survive. Graphics are well done and strangely the music is a fit, like I said.

Good job !

Hey hey!

Very nice game! It takes a while to learn how to control the ship. But once you understand how to do smooth turns, the game becomes very satisfying.

The assets look very good. I think you nailed a ship model, planets and scrap. 

And the music is relaxing. Even tho the gameplay is chaotic, the music makes you feel very calm.

Overall I really liked your game. You did a good job! I wish you luck in your future projects!

It would help a lot if you would rate my game as well! Thank you \(^-^)/

Nice visuals. The music is deceptively relaxing though ^^.

I really liked this one. It was a good simple game. The only issue I had was that the pivot point of the ships rotation didn't feel quite right. I found it hard to control since it was rotating around the nose

Developer

Oh, the ship wasn't rotating about the nose. The camera leads ahead of the ship a bit to give extra reaction time, so while it does look like the pivot point is on the nose it is actually about in the center of the ship. Also for this game hard to control is good 😂

I love the look and it's fun to play. Turning controls are very sensitive and a little difficult. But I like the crazy quick reaction type game play. Nice game!

Really nice atmosphere and the controls actually feel super nice once you take the time to get used to the highly sensitive movement. Pretty good entry all around!
