Fun game, very polished and a nice story. Very short, I could have played on, after the 10 levels: Maybe add some more elements (ground that makes you slower, rocks you can't drill, etc.), to make the new puzzles harder. I can see me playing something like that for a while. Great job!

Well polished fun simple puzzle game with cute writing and good looking use of the art. Great work!

Circular puzzle is a great idea - you could really ramp it up to be a difficult puzzle game with many levels.  These 10 levels as the tutorial, then I'm imagining fewer hints, obstacles such as rock/bedrock formations.

And the story is excellent; it's silly, funny, wholesome and serves as a good reason to do something as silly as intentional crashing. "Prodding". "BLEH". "No sign".  :D 

I was sucked in from beginning to end. Surprising how having a story makes a game 10x more engaging but it does! Great polish and great gameplay. Only complaint is that the hints came up right when I figured out how to do it which kinda dampened my "Aha" moment... great game and good work!

Love the idea ! Really creative ! You should be super proud :) Good job

This is just amazing. There's litteraly nothing to complain about. Nice writing, fun gameplay, polished to the highest degree. Very well done!
Nice idea to have the stars be just a pixel/square with animation. I could have used that in my game as well. Next time! :)

That circular planet tech looks fabulous. Really enjoyed the presentation of the story between missions and the cute ending. 

Having Devlog and full playthrough videos is simply going above and beyond, fantastic! :D

I love the pun in the title. I made it to planet 7. The margin for error was too small, and I noticed that the planet integrity also goes down when you're retracing your steps. I had a circle at the centre and then went up and down to each gem. Since that would result in the least tunneling, while your intended solution creates a lot more tunneling. The story was nice and the hints were a good addition as well.

In your dev log I heared that you were Dutch as well. Would you like to team up for the next Ludum Dare?

I can tell this game is gonna do well in the jam, really excellent gameplay, story, visuals, and polish! 

Great idea, love how you have to optimize your way through the planet!

great game!

Amazing game! Love the aesthetics, the usage of the art-assets and the overall feel is so polished!
Great work!

Really polished and giving a vibe of a game that's finished. Also the essets are used in a very creative and standing out ways - I could barely recognize most of the sprites, even tho they are obviously from the 1-bit pack when you think about it.

Gameplay-wise there is not much going on. It's basicaly logic game, where you need to collect the gems in the correct order, otherwise the planet explodes. Not much else is going on really - no new mechanics introduced, no developement, so the thing that drives everything forward is player's curiosity to know the plot. 

The minimalistic approach to the art asset really makes this game stand out even more! This is one of the few games that I have rated highly. Music is so soothing and fits the game so well. sound effects are a little too loud, but hey, I have the same problem in my game too XD! 

Also, the introduction to story plot at first felt so professional for me, that won me over in just a glance ( I'm unable for stuff like that, yet)

Thank you! I REALLY ENJOYED THE GAME!

I can tell you put a lot of polish into this. The effects for this rocket, the planet cores, the background, etc, they were all very nice. I thought the story was pretty well written. The game wasn't too challenging but I had a lot of fun playing it. And of course, the save/load system was a nice touch.

Delightful, I love the writing, the game design, and I think it's worth expanding on for sure. Maybe could have used a couple more puzzly mechanics and a bit of atmosphere or variety on the planets but I loved it!

Awesome game! I really enjoyed it alot. I liked the story, very relaxing sound and a fun mechanics. 

Wonderful game! I would pick up a copy of this if it was a full commercial release!

Wow ;) , I didn´t know that there was a rocket haha >_<

Visuals are really nice. I like the minimalistic stars in the background and the space travel scene. Planet graphics are cool as well. Quite like the animations, especially when you exit to the surface. Tunnelling effect is well done.

sfx and music are nice but sometimes feel like they don't mesh well, since some sfx are chiptune, some are realistic, and the music is hidef as well.

Story is simple and cute and adds to the game.

Gameplay takes a bit to get used to. I ended up losing a lot of early levels by pressing the wrong button too soon. Also there's a bug where if you press to move right before a tutorial dialog appears you will immediately go to the surface and lose as soon as the dialog disappears. The landing sequence on each planet is nice the first time but gets annoying after you die and have to restart and just want to start playing the game. Once you get used to it it is fun to figure out an optimal strategy for each planet; also appreciate the dotted line that appears as you change height, definitely makes it more intuitive to play. 

One thing I'd suggest is making it more clear how much integrity a planet has. I like the mechanic as it adds strategy but every planet has the same size bar and you have no idea how fast it will go down until you start playing, requiring you to kind of trial and error levels the first time.

Overall pretty solid entry, I'd say it does best in terms of polish and visuals but needs more on the engagement side
