interesting concept, for some reason it make me remember Starscape and FTL, the planet is bit small for placing structure, more like moon but okay, cool game!.

Thanks for playing! I did take inspiration from Starsector lol also you can use the tiles to build larger structures so your not only constrainted to the small area

Very difficult to understand what needs to be done....

Thanks for playing! There's no real goal other than collect resources, build and move on

Developer

Absolutely

The game froze after I pressed ` uh

Seems cool (and the fact you made this in pygame is impressive) but I don't know how to build anything I'm just shooting stuff.

Thanks for playing! The game froze not because of that key but you probably pressed 1 which is the debug pause I left in. To build stuff you need to click on the planet to swap control to bring up the shop, clicking on the planet again will toggle shop

I like the way the warp jump was shown. Minimalistic. Thank you for game!

Nice game! The main aim of the game is not clear.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I agree I needed more background story in the game to set the tone for what it is about

I enjoyed the gameplay itself, but I couldn't figure out how to progress after setting up the first planet. It was more of just endless shooting. But good work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Once you place the required items a warp gate and message appears. The position of the gate is random but it's also limited in the distance from the center. I probably should have added a direction indicator lol

It took me a while to figure out how to build, but it was worth it! Nicely done. Having tons of turrets makes for very fun visuals.

Good day! The gameplay is captivating, I want to break meteorites more and more! I liked the mechanics and the theme is revealed (destroy to create)

Music and effects are super!
