Heya! Thank you for spending that much time with the game, seeing someone go through all the planets really means a lot to us! Really glad you picked up on the objectives, we wanted exploration to feel guided without being too intrusive, so that’s great to hear (especially since that feature was actually a late addition).
And yes, navigation is definitely one of the main pieces of feedback we’ve received. A compass or clearer ship indicator was part of the original plan, but time got the better of us during the jam (Totally agree it would make exploration feel smoother) Also, the demo idea comment honestly makes us smile. that’s kind of how we feel about it too.
Thanks again for the feedback and for taking the time to fully explore it!
