A wormhole malfunction leaves you stranded in an unfamiliar solar system. Luckily the asteroid belt is abundant in exotic matter. Collect enough of it before the wormhole closes completely and you might make it back home alive. Just don't lose your only drone; who knows what might lurk inside the asteroids.
The mood and the audio is amazing ! Great game feel ! Moving the ship can be a little sluggish but imo it adds to tension in the game. The only thing that I think you could have changed would be to make the dialogue boxes just text at the top of the screen so that it doesn't stop the action. Other than that, good game !
Congrats on submitting your game. It feels like a game that has the potential of being a larger title. Maybe you can build on the "lost in space" concept and a deeper story. I would have loved to upgrade the different perks of the drone myself tho. Great job!
I loved the atmosphere and the sounds as well as the way you did the enemies. There are really fantastic core ideas here that I haven't seen people play around with in video games for years! Keep at it!
Overall game impression: A yet another momentum physics game, I am really impressed to see such. I honestly can't even imagine the mathematics it'd take so make such smooth momentum physics, impressed! Gameplay is pretty cool, it feels nice and straightforward. I really like the Pinging mechanics and a radar, as well as the ability to drill through walls and even upgrading, so many mechanics and features in an LD game is really impressive! My favorite part however was the filter over the game when you start running low on battery, more noise the lower the battery life to represent loss of signal, very cool little touch that I certainly appreciate. Well done! Really well done!
Suggestions and comments on improvement: better engine sound, current sound just dind't fit all that much.
Really nice game, I enjoyed playing it. I noticed just one small thing: after I maxed an upgrade there was still a cost displayed, "666666". You should have hide it, it's a bit confusing.
This game is really neat. I enjoyed the movement mechanics, especially that the power consumption forces you to slow down and think about your movement. It actually felt like a big ship in space, instead of an action-y shoot-em-up style spaceship movement.
However, having to turn the whole ship in order to get sideways thrust was a bit of a pain. I think it would be better to have wasd be forward, left, back, and right thrusters, and q and e be for the gyros.
I really like the grainy effect on the screen when running out of energy. Im really bad at these physics driving games, so this was like super hard for me, but it was very fun anyways
That was pretty fun, however it got annoying when I was holding W and a text box appeared stopping me from moving and thus the thruster would be going the whole time and full volume.
Thank you for putting the effort of creating a linux build as well. However i experienced some problems with that. In full screen i could not click the dialog away. And in windowed mode i could not get my drill to work (been pressing space like crazy). So i cannot say much as i did not make it past the first blockade, I like the background sound + the grainy dark effect however i think the sound of the truster was mighty loud compared to the rest. I am not a big fan of the kind of driving for this ship but i kan see that it was a design choice for the game and was well implemented. I would like to say i had fun playing it but as i said i could not get past the blockade.

Other than that, good game !
Would you consider making a mac version later on?

p.s. check out my game as well please.
