This is great. I love that it's kind of a de-make, for two reasons: first, it meant you offered something really unique to the game you're riffing off; second, it's a great way to scale your efforts into a jam-sized jam.

The flying and gravity mechanics are just fun, which is exactly what you want. I would echo the comments that the game would benefit from a better line-of-sight on progress or end goals... there were definitely moments where I wasn't sure what was needed from me. But I figured it out, I finished the game, and I had a good time doing so. 

Oh, and it almost goes without saying that this looks great, too. Very Sokpop, but with your own spin. Great work.

great game! Feels a bit like a mix of helionaut and n-body. Really enjoyed how it feels to fly around space while being flung by gravity!

Overall great! It would be nice to know how many items you have left to find and maybe what they look like. I almost gave up because I had found the remote case but thought it was a waypoint so never went back to it.

Good idea, if I could have done one thing to make it better it would have been an indicator of what missing parts were left.

Thanks for the feedback 🙂

it looks like all the mechanics are there, but I couldn't figure out how to put the parts of the controller together

The remote is put together automatically once you find all the pieces (remote shell found at robot HQ, button, transmitter, and batteries)

Sorry I didn't make that very clear, thanks for playing!

Very fun, mechanics are satisfying just in general.
