I really wasnt expecting so much quality from the game jam.
The gameplay loop (pun intended) is really simple but catchy, it has its learning curve and I like how mechanics like obstacles and asteroids are introduced further in the game, refreshes the gameplay.
Also de visuals are extremely good and the music fits pretty well in.
The only problem I have come across is that some planets are hard to see because they are really far away, and you can only see a few lines of their orbit, so sometimes I was lost. It may be solvable with an arrow pointing at the nearest planets you have.
But other than that, I am really surprised how good the game is!
really satisfying visuals
This was such a fun project to work on! Thank you Oliver and Poul, I have learned a lot from both of you :)
