You're a spaceship pilot who forgot to pick enough supplies for the intergalactic flight. You noticed it a couple galaxies ago! You need to plan every move in an efficient way, so you not waste your spaceship's power, cause EVERYTHING costs power. In each galaxy, look for a warp: a blue portal that connects galaxies. Your spaceship navigation system will point the nearest warp position with an arrow near your spaceship. You can move the obstacles to reach to the warp with shooting but BEWARE, a collision with an asteroid will cause the spaceship to rise it's shields, wich is very power-expensivegameScrt1.PNG!

Very nice game.
Movements and physics felt smooth and I constantly looked on my energy to see if i run out of energy soon.
I only made it to lvl 4 though because i'm very impatient and always traveled far too fast, I guess I'd be a bad spaceship pilot :)

Hey! I recommend you opt out of humor cause you don't really have any jokes in there, this way it won't be taken into account when giving you the score, and you'll score higher!

As for the game, it's one of the funnest games I've found in this Ludum Dare! The difficulty curve is very good, at first you can just mess up but then when you start getting comfortable with the controls you have to start being more careful and using the laser! However, there was one level I just couldn't beat! The rocks were spinning too fast and there were too many rocks! I think this game would be even better if the controls were more precise more direct. I see that the drag-y movement is part of the experience, cause you're in space, but the you shouldn't expect very precise and quick movements from the player. Then maybe the laser could be more powerful or the spining rocks could go slower.

I really found myself quite addicted to that game! Good job :)

I made it to safety! I really enjoyed playing through this game. Some of the levels had some really fun and tricky challenges. The music is super awesome and there are so many tracks. This reminds me so much of Sub Terrainia in tone and design. The ship and environment assets are really nice. Good show!

I did it. Oh boy. It got really hard near the end. I dont have much more to say considering other peoples comments. Just wanted to say I really finished the game!

Good work, I found the difficulty required in your game, it was very cool the controls and also the art, as well as the shell and jet sounds.

That's quite addictive! The only thing that really bothered me was ship's hit radius being a little too big. There were quite a few times I felt like I should have been able to slip past an asteroid only to have the shields fire up. Great job overall :)

Well designed, challenging game! The asteroid bounce physics makes it more interesting. New challenges introduced in each level effectively adds variety. I eventually gave up on the level where asteroids come hurtling at you in seemingly random directions. I think the game would benefit from better asteroid sprites :-)
