Deep Space Observatory flips the idle genre on its head — instead of clicking, you hover. Moving your mouse around to trigger scans feels fresh, and my poor left mouse button finally gets a break.

As someone who loves incremental games, I got hooked fast. I played until I had every upgrade and the full NG+ collection. The loop is seriously addictive, and the layering of SFX creates this chaotic but satisfying symphony.

My only real complaint is the screen distortion effect — for me, it made the UI buttons hard to see. That aside, this is a highly polished game that knows exactly what it wants to be.

Hello! Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review! I really appreciate it.

Regarding the screen distortion — you are absolutely right. I've already received several similar complaints that this effect hurts UI readability. After the jam, I will make it softer and add an option to disable this effect entirely in the graphics settings. Thank you for pointing this out!
