Cool game, love the market system. Would be nice to have more sounds (e.g. collecting the asteroids) and maybe some upgrades. Good job!

Nice idea with market. Will be nice to have more interesting "consumption" of asteroids

Nice game, cool vibe. Would be cool if the different sized asteroids took up a different amount of inventory space, as is going for large asteroids will almost always net the biggest payoff. Overall well done!

The game is fun and fresh with the sale system. It would be cool to have the option to get upgrades to sacrifice some of the money made in the hopes that it pays off later.

I got $938,591. Very fun! I like how the prices change over time so the player should prioritize certain sizes without straying too far or avoiding too many of the other size - very risk/reward design

Nice job! The atmospheric music works really nicely with the rest of the vibe. I agree that some incentive to be making money would be a great addition to the game - I hope you keep working on it! The controls were also pretty nice and intuitive. Great work :)

I got $799k, not sure if that's good or bad. I was also surprised space was limited in size with boundaries and that asteroids moved randomly instead of just in the direction they were headed.

Cool, but no real objectives or new stuff to keep the gameplay innovative. Rare ores on certains asteroïds could've been nice !

Maybe the money could've been used to enhance the ship ... Idk, 5 min feels a bit long
