Took a bit getting used to the controls, but once you get the hang of it this can be pretty addicting. Love the style of this game and I enjoyed the look of the ship scraping against the sun so much that I wished there was mechanic where you could skip off the sun's surface. My only critique is that during the Nova, it's a little hard to tell how you're oriented without the trail and the sun as reference. Anyways, great work, this was really fun!

Thanks for the feedback + suggestion. Yeah I’d love to do some sort of slingshot mode off the surface. At the moment it just speeds up about 50%, but building some sort of movement off it sound like a great idea.
The nova one is a good pickup. To make it easier to implement in the jam you’re still orbiting around the sun in that stage, its just hidden :D In my post jam updates I’ve started working on the nova mode being a “straight line” mode which should make that bit slightly more fun. Thinking about it having a black hole skimming mechanic could be fun too!
Thanks for playing :)
