Interesting idea and great potential. Planets with clouds – looks cool :)

I really like the basic gameplay loop.  Definitely a core more mechanics could be laid upon.  Also I really like the shaders for the planets

Thanks!

This tickles my trader-brain. This is an amazing accomplishment for 7 days. Congratulations.

Thanks. I have some plans for this prototype. 
I had a late start, so haven't completed even a fraction of my ambitions =)

As the others said, the planets and sun look dope. Sad spaceship is sad :), because you could’nt get more gameplay into it. Nonetheless impressive work.

Really cool project! I love the planet shaders especially, and spaceship controls feel quite smooth :))

Developer(+1)

But ship controls are supposed to be clunky! It’s a low level cargo ship! 

Thanks for review :) glad you liked it. I have plan to extend this prototype to a bigger game.

Are there more than two planets? Are sell/buy prices different on each planet? Are these things random? You could add the planet coords to the game description on Itch so the players can look for them in game. And if randomness if on a fixed seed, you can also give hints on how to make more money in game buy speculating on the trades - all by editing the game description. This will make this prototype into a game without editing code! Not sure if that would be "cheating" - making the game more fun after the submission date - but I would definitely enjoy it more. And the planets and sun are very pretty!

Hey. In the "manual" you can read that there's a map and you can jump between systems :) 
About seed - almost all things are randomly generated, without a fixed seed. For now, I will change it and make a more "stable" world later, after a jam.
The star map isn't generated, and the base prices. Also, all prices depend on planet types and neighbor planets. 

Thanks for the feedback!

Planets looked nice

I loved how the planets and stars looked. Shame there’s not much of a game yet

Developer

yep, started late, and was too consumed by shaders :)
