Solid controls but did get very repetitive very fast. Would have loved to see more action, powerups or something to mix it up.

Thanks WeaselZone, I'm considering a post-compo version so advice is very welcome :)

I thought it was a pretty good game. But as Weasel said it could have seen some more action. But overall I really enjoyed it.

This game needs a little polish, but I see the potential for this to be an excellent game! Thanks for sharing, and good luck to you!

A decent game. I like the controls. Also the planets look great. You could put some limit on the zoom, as I could see almost everything happening around me by zooming out really far. Some more action, like powerups, fuel, other dangers (stars, black holes, asteroids) would be cool :) good job in overall.

Sorry to hear that guys. What OS versions were they? Also do you have the required XNA / mono software?

Got quite a bit of slowdown on my 2013 macpro retina. But I really enjoyed what there was here, could easily see this grow into a larger game I'd like to play. Music sounded like it might have been clipping a bit too
