very nice little game. the idea of mining in space is very good.
I like the gameplay, it creates a sense of competition and a constant desire to go further and further. I really hope that in the future you will be able to add more gameplay elements to the game, maybe like some improvements or bonuses, then it will look even more delicious.
a bit on the hard side, but a fun experience! could really benefit from a longer sound track or changing music, tho the atmosphere is great!
good job!
Very nice concept and game. I also liked the graphics and atmosphere the game has a lot.
It took me multiple tries to beat the game because of oxygen issues but after learning the mechanics I managed it to do it! Having to drill the exact spot of the ores was the most important thing to learn, with the addition of not always having to press forward to conserve fuel. I know the ore part was mentioned in the instructions though, I realized that after restarting the game. Maybe making the air deplete a little slower could make it more enjoyabe for new players.
Thanks for the feedback, we agree the game is a little too hard for new players.
Good game, but really hard to beat. ;)
One suggestion: It would be cool if the background would have a (stronger) parallax effect. That would improve the navigation a bit. Great submission though!
I really enjoy the graphics, the ominous background music, and the overall concept. Only problem is I am not sure how to actually play or what I'm supposed to do before running out of gas.
Nevermind, I figured out how to mine. This game is awesome, reminds me of astroneer!
Great to hear you figured it out! We've had trouble communicating out tutorials before so that's good feedback :)
I had constant oxygen issues and didn’t even get close to your score of 875 ^^ It’s an ejoyable game with nice and fitting audio and art. Good job!
That was super enjoyable and quite the highscore hunt! Only managed to win once with a score of 630, keeping filled up on air is really hard.
See this incredible pixel art!
In particular, I think the fire effect on the left and right of the rocket is very pretty.
How is this made in two days...
Thanks CodeGrimie, I'm really happy with how it turned out. Rawb91 did an awesome job of the graphics!
We're lucky in our timezone and got sat/sun/mon to work on the game :)
Thanks for the kind words regarding my pixel art.
I've only recently started learning but have been very happy with the content I'm creating. Your words mean a lot to me :)
I think the pixel art from your previous game Track Zero is also really cool.
The effect that occurs when the ball moves is also really cool. :)
I'm really looking forward to the works you'll create in the future.
I like the idea of scavenging for stuff in asteroids. Cool game!
I like the decadent and spacey mood. My score was 582.
Very nice! I also like games where you have to destroy asteroids.
