The first jam and first working game my friend and I have taken part in. A game about a frog, in space.
Fly around and try to put your mothership back together by dragging in the scattered parts, and watch out for the space worms!

This game was really pretty (woo, parallaxing) but I had a hard time finding the second ship part. Overall pretty neat - I'm always happy to see a space game with this type of movement. Nice work!

Ayy, another frog game! Honestly I had fun just flying around and crashing into things. The movement feels really good! Nice work.

This was a fun one.
Loved the parallax, it adds a lot. Also the lights with additive blending in front of the ship.
Controls felt smooth.
Gathered 4 ship parts. I didn't see any space worms.
Having an "end" of the space was funny :) I liked how you bounce away from the edge.

I think fuel consumption could be more forgiving. Turning the ship either shouldn't cost fuel or maybe should cost less. Braking as well... I think those are ugly ways to balance the game difficulty.
After collecting 4 ship parts from each side(east,west,north,south). I didn't know what to do... I don't know how many parts I should gather. A simple 4/N text somewhere could be awesome.

Eventually, I went deeper into the space and found nothing no ship part indicators or anything and ran out of fuel. Felt bad and didn't want to play again when I lost after collecting 4 parts. Because it gets too repetitive to do the same thing over and over again.

Thanks for the game!
