Really cool game. The ship controls really well and your environmental art and effects are really interesting. It's plenty fun to just fly around for a bit. I'd be interested to see what you could do with more time. Keep up the good work!

So atmospheric!  I loved this, please keep up with game dev because this was a big mood.  I could fly around all day between the lighting and the music.

Thank you very much!

The game is relaxing and beautiful but it was very "resource" heavy like I had like 30FPS on my intelcore i5     8gb ram with   RTX 3050  its not much but it should be enough to run the game , but I played it regardless and I enjoyed every bit of it (I'll simply "unsee" the fps issue that happened to me) your game is very well made the controls might need some adjustments , the environment is extremely beautiful and not alot have mentioned the low poly models in this you truly nailed it , well done a well deserved solid rating from me fam!!

Hi, 

Thank you very much for your feedback!
The downloadable .exe should have a better performance than the browser version. For me it runs 165fps with only 30%-45% GPU usage on my old 1080ti (almost 500fps uncapped). I would expect only around 30% (?) less performance from RTX 3050.

Hey again Aver , I'll try the downloadable version and also I hope you could expand the game a little maybe a tiny story since this is a relaxing game you could add some pieces to make a story or some memories of someone also some collectibles around the map that rewards the players for exploring just a suggestion ofc :D

Thanks!
Sure, I might do that in the future. 
If you liked the environment and art than you might also like my earlier game which served me as a base for this one (artistically). Some of the assets from this one I made for my previous game - mainly the land, Aurora Borealis and fire shaders.
The previous one is way more heavy on the mechanics (much more of a game than this one) and is an FPS with leveling up:

.exe is also available in case of performance issues.

Good music, the controls are hard but you can get used to it, and the look of the game is great!

Hello, Aver, pretty good "GAME FEEL", good music too!!! 

The only hard thing is the plane controls. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback! 

I can agree with the controls. However you cannot loose in this game so it's no biggy if you "die". Just do some crazy barrell rolls and don't worry about the controls.  :)

Also - you can reverse the control scheme if you want to.

I loved the relaxing background music and the calming feel of the game, Great for a game made in 7 days, Controls could be a bit confusing at times, especially when going near the edge of the area when your fuel rapidly decreases (a little panicked). Had a fun time overall tho !! :)

I like the art style, but the controls were a little hard and the lighting was sometimes a little too bright. Apart from that, really good game!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! You can reverse controls in menu - this might help.

I can agree that I went 'slightly' overboard with the bloom effect and lights. I meant to make a special button to disable bloom but in the end I forgot to implement it.

The artistic choice is something special! Unfortunetaly for me i felt quite disorientated playing it but nevertheless, great job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. You can reverse the controls in the menu which might help.
