The controls are fun but very difficult to use. I think if they were tighter and it was easier to slow down, it would add a lot to the game. The sound effects and presentation is overall quite good. I like the parallax stars in the background and the music is a good choice. I like the feedback from when you colonize a planet.
Respawning seems glitched, and the map does not seem to move or show my location upon respawning. Also there was a glitch where until I got close to another planet, after colonizing a planet, I would get a message that I was too fast for proximity even when I was far away from the planet I colonized.
