Use of the limitation
on a literal level our game takes place above a black hole, a scenario in which there is no ground. on a thematic level, the main character engages with the meaninglessness of their final mission, we thought "there is no ground" a nice metaphor for that sentiment of disillusionment, depression and ennui.

Great job the art was great and the sound was great. The only thing I wish there was was being able to see the black hole as it was photographed. Other then that the ending was a great finale. Well done :D. 

Developer

thank you for playing, i’m glad you liked it! i agree we could have done more to show the black hole and make it more clear that there was a black hole down there.

Really nice graphics and polished game. I enjoyed it a lot.

The only thing I would've liked was if I could've shot the projectiles on my own.
It was great to do just the WASD movement in the beginning, but the second time I went with my gun I was like, mhm, that's kinda boring to just press W till I'm up again.

But since it's just a little, short game and there were progression in story, it wasn't a big deal since it was only this short amount of time I got this feeling.

Nothing else to say. Superb work!

thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it! thanks for the feedback too and i agree with it fully – we had all sorts of fun and interesting weapons planned for the player but sadly we ran out of time.
