Note: Because the Mac OS X version does not have a certain model, it will crash whenever it tries to use that model in its randomly generated universe. Please retry running it when this happens. Thanks!
Interesting idea. The flight mechanics are good though there is no feedback for getting hit. Sometimes I died when I was sure I wasn't that close to a planet. Works in Wine.
It's pretty much impossible to dodge jellyfish when you haven't built up speed yet. I frequently died without knowing why. Cool idea and very nice graphics though!
I couldn't complete a level. I always seem to die without knowing exactly why. I love the concept though! What would it play like if the camera would pull back when a danger got close? Good job, it looks really good!
The difficulty is kind of unfair, though, depending on how things are generated.
It's extremely difficult to avoid the jellyfish at the beginning and near the jumpgate, although maybe I'm approaching the latter wrong.
Anyway, good job!
