Incredibly ambitious, I can tell a lot of systems needed to be made for this game to work. Landing on a planet for the first time kinda blew my mind. Loved the charming art and the kooky characters on the planets. The bar mini-game was pretty fun too.

For a game that feels quite big, it's pretty polished.  I think the game should pause when zooming out.  The bartending part was actually fun.  You nailed the mood and atmosphere of a space exploration game and sick intro!  Good job!

Love the look and feel of the game

Wow, great game! I made it to the food planet before I died, so sadly, I wasn't able to see the ending of the game. But there's a lot of polish and a lot of content here and I enjoyed playing through the game! :) Well done!

A lot of content for a jam game. Wibble lived to tell to tale though because I couldn't shoot the gun. The game over animation is sick.

Starlight Odyssey

• Liked the opening sequence a lot. Backstory gives increased importance to the game.
  
• On the topic, I like the 2D art and UI design as well. Very sci-fi retro.
  
• Good idea integrating control scheme into the game itself via labels. But the instructions are a little bit too much in succession. Would rather have them spaced out / triggered by an event (like when the first food comes onto the screen, that's when to slap the "Press 'F' to eat food" label on the screen).
  
• Not sure how I feel about the shifting camera exposing Godot's grey viewport on the sides. Think it would've been better to have expanded the canvas beyond it. (EDIT: Okay, it's not a viewport; it's just a container for the tutorial section that happens to have the same colour as Godot's viewport, lol)
  
• Got annihilated on my first playthrough, since I didn't realize the ammo running out was the reason I couldn't shoot anymore. But considering how many enemies you can encounter on the way, and difficulty outrunning them, ammo should be unlimited I feel.
  
  
  
• Second playthrough: landed on a planet, and I'm somewhat amazed at the depth of game. Characters and a narrative system. Very cool!
  
• Feel the narrative system should return to the main dialogue menu rather than closing. Have to initiate the conversation each time to access the next dialogue option.
  
• Wish the planets had some sound / music to them.
  
• I liked the timed assassination challenge, but couldn't figure out how to shoot the guy (whose name in the dialogue box is different than the one in the photo).
  
• Wow, even a mixology feature. Holy cow. Yeah, there appears to be a lot of work that went into this submission. Frankly, not sure how you did it in nine days!
  
• Slightly disappointed that all three planets are the same: with the same characters, assassination challenge, and mixology minigame. But can understand the limitations of the game jam.
  
• I disagree with some design choices, like the life energy draining while you're on a planet, or the timers continuing to run after you've pressed the escape key (which I was doing to pause so I could write this review). For a game like this which is all about space exploration and learning about characters / stories of this unique universe, I'd much prefer a patient playthrough where planning for journeys trumps rushing through them.
  
  
  
• Visited all three planets, which again were the same, and wasn't sure how to progress from there or if there was an actual win condition to work towards, so concluded my playthrough after the third planet.

I liked Starlight Odyssey. A ton of imagination and functional mechanics. Good job!

I really came into this thinking it would be a fun lil dodge the asteroid game, I wasn't expecting there to be a considerate amount of depth and some world building. It's actually pretty surprising to see this in a game jam so good job on that!!

Very big game, and very nice intro. The game is tough from the get go....but could just be a skill issue :D

Wow so much content for a game jam! Nice, loved the epic opening. I do find it quite hard with how limited ammo you have at the beginning :) Took a while to realize zoom out is essential to know where you are going haha. Goo one!

I was pretty bad at steering my ship and reserving my ammo, kept running out and not being able to get more so I just flew aimlessly through space avoiding enemies. Loved the art style and appreciate how much was done in only 9 days. Didn't get very far but definitely see the potential

Lots of content, and and impressive number of different systems. I died on the first planet I was exploring, not sure why. I may give it another go and see if I can reach Earth. Thanks for making it!

The intro cutscene was nice! At first, I was a bit skeptical I thought it was just a game where you avoid asteroids and destroy enemy ships. But then there were planets too, which I thought was cool. I liked the character art style it reminded me of Undertale. I didn’t get very far, but I think there’s a lot of potential if you improve the space section maybe even add ship management, with crew members and different rooms.

The main character of the game looked like Darth Sidious. Pixel art was beautiful.  The way you taught the game was something I've never seen before, which was really cool. The cutscenes were cool too, must have taken a lot of time to animate tho. Overall magnificent game!
