Nice choice of music and sound effects. I also like the sharp graphics and smooth animation. The interface (yes / no / e-key) seems like a work in progress and is a bit buggy or unclear. I like the concept of flying around space doing trading and attacking or being attacked, like in 'Elite'.

Nice game, it's relaxing. The art of the game is cool, and the shooting feels nice. But maybe you should add more enemies.

I enjoyed the feel of the game and the soundtrack/visuals but encountered issues that impacted the experience:


Both the Menu System and the Interaction with Space Station Dialogues were buggy when using them. I encountered an issue where it would not let me press E to close the Space Station Dialogue, and had to restart the game (fortunately it let me save), but after relaunching the game I could not use escape to get the menu later on.

The gameplay was very clean and smooth feeling and I thought the use of an arrow to show where to go was very helpful in knowing which direction to explore. After completing the first mission and getting money for the second mission I wasn't sure if I had completed the game or was supposed to be doing something else, this ended up making it feel cut short.

Explaining the "O" button should have came sooner since it contains information that helps explain how to play the game.

The game looks really good visually, and the audio fits very well. Flying the ship around feels a little stiff for being in space but it still works. The combat is fun but I was only able to find one group of enemies in the entire game. Most of this games issues came from the menus. Having "Yes" "No" on the menus all the time even when they didn't do anything is a bit misleading, I was never able to open the pause menu with escape, I wish I knew about "O" earlier so I could see controls and such at the start. The other issue I found was the navigation only worked for the hub and scrapyard. Due to this I could not find the pirate base (Assuming there is one) and could not beat the game. Overall I think this was a great entry for this game jam with a lot of fun moments, that just needs some simple fixes for the menus.

I love the graphics of the little space ships. That's also a super chill soundtrack. :)

Edit: Just remembered that I forgot to say something about the gameplay, because I have written this before managing to control the menus. I like the game idea and how the jobs play out. Nicely done!

Unfortunately I could not close the mission popup after accepting a job and couldn't continue playing as I wasn't able to see anything. ^^

Edit: Oh, okay. I was supposed to press E again to close it? It looked broken, also because the "yes" "no" buttons stay the whole time and you can continue playing in the background.
