one of my favorites so far, I do love me some space trucking, also love the voice over work at the start, added a lot to the experience.

Good music, entertaining VA, charming graphics. I like the upgrade system. I liked this one a lot. Did pretty well on my 3rd go.

Baxtrok 1 to 2 deliveries can pop a surprising distance from that system and ended 2 of my runs that way. I am a bit bad at not slamming into planets but that is very much a me problem ;)

I much appreciated the 2 control schemes.

This looks like it has potential!

Good music, art, tutorial everything beyond the idea, that very very boring for me

Nice game! I like the game mechanics and the music. I see you put a lot of effort into this.

Nice Game, good graphics and the voice over wass amazing. The music was good too. Would improve on the mechanis as someone who loves a game not complex but not simple too this was not my piece of cake, but i sure do know many people who love these sort of game.

Having dialogs with voice over is just awesome! I think it helps a lot players to bear the dialogs and pay attention to your instructions.

The UI breaks a little on my ultrawide monitor but it's not a big deal. Also, is there a way to restart the game after you're fired without having to alt+f4 and re-open the game?

@lex Ah right, yeah I remember making a mental note about ultrawide and then doing nothing about it 😅 - there should be a retry button on the game over screen though? Could also be a consequence of ultrawide.

Nice game, Is this your voice? Or did you use synthesized? It turned out very stylish.

adam-gouldauthor2 May 2023, 10:21

@danyclockworker It's my voice - I purposefully channelled my inner "automated train announcer" voice (helped by the fact I could record multiple lines and overlap them in ways that sound janky on purpose)

Loved this! Really really cool game! Solid voice acting, good mechanics, really good balancing! Barely beat the game on my first try! Never felt easy, but was always just *barely* doable!

LDJam user 3024103 May 2023, 22:04

A very solid game. It even has a tutorial, very well done.

that1guy2323 May 2023, 23:25

Absolutely fantastic! Loved the music, The tutorial was very well done.

nice visuals! gameplay is fun and i loved the voice tutorial!

snakemuho4 May 2023, 16:15

The game's pretty fun, I got carried away just a little tiny bit

adam-gouldauthor4 May 2023, 16:29

@snakemuho Wow! I never thought anyone would play further after getting enough for the promotion upgrade :smiley:

Love the voice acting! I included it in my Ludum Dare 53 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. https://youtu.be/3W4lG4WsUMw

I like the visuals, the voice over and the music. The gameplay idea is simple and fun. I believe I was clearly too slow to make any of deliveries after the tutorial. Overall it feels like a very well made jam game. Well done.

Fantastic game for 48 hours.
I really liked the control and the general idea.
Great job!

I love the graphics - the stars, the planets, the UI, etc, all so polished. Just the punishment is too hard. Having to restart because I miss one mission is kinda frustrating. I hope it takes away my money instead and the game ends when I am broke. Overall, good job!

chocoland.tv6 May 2023, 16:35

graphics are really great, simple but effective, i love it! and the gamemechanic is really polished, but sometimes you get a too short mission, that you need to stop all other things =) that kills me
