Just... outstanding. That was SO COOL (literally, hehe xD) I that much enjoyed the exploration and the play through. Took me little moment to figure out at the start how this works and then I went bonkers :D Super great job, really. Mega impressive. Thank you for this experience.

You have a limited time to go outside of your space ship and the point of the game is to expand your oxygen tank in order to be able to find fuel.

I hear you. I could have designed the first screen better, so that you had no choice but to go for the shiny and bring it back to the ship.
Yeah, I'm a firm believer in the "teach by showing gameplay elements" instead of tutorials, but it's a tough design challenge and I'm still very much a noob. And thank you for the comment about art, I really like how this tileset turned out, I've lifted it from my minimal metroidvania which is in a slow moving limbo at the moment, so it felt good to use it in a released project.
Alright this was a fun game with a cool concept. I like how the game loop only runs when you are moving so you can safely stop and think about what you have done when you decided to grab that far blueprint instead of going back and upgrading your fuel tank first :( Also very cool restarting with the last stuff you returned to ship when you die.
One thing that would have been nice is faster movement/game speed since I died a lot far away and took me a while to go back again every time. Other than that the game is very good with neat mechanics. Goood job!
