Very polished, I enjoyed it.
Very relaxing and fun to play! Loved the visuals, especially the planets. Looking at all my whales going back and forth between planets was super satisfying. Great job!
Wow, what a nice game. This totally hits my taste. The art for whales, items and overal ui was really well done. The shaders look good especially on the station. For some planets rather meh. I would have loved to have some music playing while not on the market as well. Got too silent for me.. Some quickswitch from spaceport to market would have been nice as well as having a small universe overview while in spaceport. Making money felt a little bit hard, not sure if i missed something there. But nice game in overall!
Thanks for the useful feedback, really glad you enjoyed it!
The rotating planets look so beautiful. I'm wondering how you did them.
I enjoyed this one. There's a really good premise and I found myself getting sucked into the core loop. There was a glitch though, which meant I could never sell to the purple planet (it would only ever show up with the Mars looking one). Thankfully I had enough money leftover that I could recoup my losses. Being able to sell stuff would be nice.
This concept has a ton of potential and I can see the gameplay loop being extended quite far out.
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for spotting that bug. Didn’t think about selling items, that’s a great idea!
I managed to soft-lock myself by buying too many alients that would not fit in any of my whales ¦3
Yeah, you could easily increase the margin a bit closer to standard (10000% or so), otherwise it is sad to make these whales work for a peppercorn, and that heavily limits the game pace.
Nice set of features, though! It would be cool to see how far you can explore that concept beyond the jam version.
Wow loved the art work and the music in this! Really set the scene and made me feel i was running my own space business 😀
There is nothing I would even be able to suggest to improve it was that well polish so great job 🙌
I really enjoyed the intro and the artwork the design overall was great. I just wish we could move around a bit more instead of only zooming in and out, that would’ve added more depth. Still, the gameplay was genuinely fun and engaging
Thanks! And actually, you can move around, just right-click! It’s shown in the bottom left. Glad you liked it
The intro is wonderful and everything looks very polished. Unfortunately for me, the gameplay becomes a bit repetitive, perhaps with some in-game music it would be more entertaining. Great game anyway!
Un trabajazo genial! :D
