This is definitly a Rock Solid entry to the LD. Awesome music, nice graphic, fun concept and everything works well if not for some minor issues :)

What an opening! Love Scrimpy, he's an adorable character! You game is visually great and would love to play this with an actual mouse, rather than a mouse pad. Only critique is that I'd love to constantly be able to move as once I start propelling forwards I can't move my mouse and makes me feel that movement is limited. Great audio, really immersed me and great choice of space colours. I also loved seeing your progress through Twitter, loved the final result.

Good music choice. Well made. Had fun playing it.

Nice work on the graphics and audio. The movement of the ship felt a little off, but I also don't do well with motion sickness, so that might just be me! Solid entry for sure. :)

Solid game, I liked the graphics a lot and the flying felt satisfying. Besides that, I think pacing could be a bit better and on my first try one of the hunters on the fourth level I think flew away somewhere to never return. The asteroids made me giggle though, reminded me of potatos. Spacepotatos~ Good work!

Really good gameplay and control feeling. Great work !
Sad you can't be rated in audio because music is awesome.

The controls, visuals, UI, and sounds all worked really well together and made for a fun experience! One thing that I didn't like as much was the cursor placement when you're going forward, it was right on the nose of the ship, I would have liked it a little higher. Another thing was the delay of the mouse movement to ship rotation was a little slow for my taste!

At first I was a bit skeptical when it comes to the artstyle, but when the spaceship started it turned out to be really fun. Hell, the game even had some audio progression and an increase in difficulty. You clearly feel the Everspace vibes, but that's nothing bad. Great Job - would play again!

What an opening! A great entry, music choice was excellent and I really liked the gameplay. Maybe the delay of ship turning with the mouse could be lessened a bit for a tad bit tighter control, noticeable if you're doing a tight corner turn, but overall steering the ship wasn't a huge problem for me.

Very well done!

Cool! You've done a lot of work considering it's a solo game. Music and art work quite well, and it's a nice experience overall. Maybe the game could have been a bit more difficult? Like, if for example the boost required power, then there would be more of a strategy element to it because you could only use it occasionally? I found myself just holding the shift button constantly. Anyways, great solo game :)

Great game! I really liked the game but the difficulty ramps up pretty slowly. The aesthetics and ambiance more than make up for that though. This feels like a classic ^-^ Very nicely done. However... my favorite part? The audio... it is SPOT on my friend ! Well done! ... Where can I order a Primpy for Christmas?

The intro is soooo cool! And the game plays really well, which is impressive, because free 3D controls are really hard (at least for me)! In addition to that the game looks fantastic and has a banging soundtrack! Really well done!

Loved it. A good space dog-fighting game is always a blast, especially when you can get right into it.

Though it's creepy that the Primpy's eyes follow you when you're walking around the sanctuary.

Man, this was great! Had a ton of fun playing this and really loved the ship movement mechanics!

This is awesome. I'm very impressed you managed to get all this done by yourself. I don't have any real criticism, and the only thing I didn't care for was the number of enemies on the final level. It seemed to drag on just a bit longer than it should have. Oh, and the primpies at the end were all a bit creepy, just sitting there staring into my soul... Other than that, I have nothing but good things to say. Great work!
