Reminds me of an old mining flash game Motherload, or Terraria... the more you dig the further from base came you go... this game flips that on its head where you dig 'deeper' by going further into outer space. I really liked that and it made me want to explore. If you expanded this I could imagine fuel stockpiles for deep expeditions to explore neighboring stars and nebulas... that's what I was imagining as I played and got a bunch of upgrades... then I was surprised by the ending cut scene!! The visuals were soooo sick!!! Great job!

Glad you enjoyed! We had all of those ideas too during development, but decided to cut back and keep it a bit tighter so we could deliver a better experience. I actually played another submission which really reminded me of motherlode, but can't remember the name. We might end up using some of your suggestions in an updated version of the game haha, there's really so much you can do with space, and especially the physics of it. Thanks for playing!
P.S. thanks for noticing the end cutscene, that's probably what I'm most proud of from this game :D
Oh yes I forgot to mention that! The physics system was super cool and a really powerful hook to your game too. i started noticing my bullets getting absorbed at the end and it also had my mind appreciating the complexity that could bring. Definitely a rich concept full of potential. I'll be looking forward to future patches! :D
