wow space game, nice! although there is an unreal amount of friction here in space xD. and you have to use fuel to move in orbit (space is not actually straight lines but I digress).
one point tho, in end of 1st level I assumed i have to go away from the planets to somewhere else and kept running out of fuel yet finding nothing - didn't know I had to complete the dialogue to complete level
otherwise - really fun and interesting. Especially that the planets you are sending gifts to are shooting you down... even after receiving and even giving you gifts.. xD
I really loved the pixel artwork of the galaxy background! It would be cool to have a mini-map or some sort of guidance of where the different plants are. Overall enjoyable game, great take on the theme!
This is interesting, and the physics and controls feel really smooth.
Thanks for trying out the game!
Love the fact that you can just push Santa into space!
Pretty neat game for what it offers, though i think its a bit of a stretch for the gmtk theme lel, but hey i suppose it counts
Little early for christmas, but overall quite satisfying "snappiness" of everything
It is fun! To be completely honest, I didn't expect it to be very fun going into it, but I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoy the mechanic of limited fuel with the spawn planet being the only way to get more fuel. However, I think it was broken on level 4, as the planet I spawned on did not refill fuel. Other than that, however, it was great, just not a super special or unique experience for me.
Unfortunately, I happened to notice that some of the music was Mariah Carey, and I must rate audio accordingly. (I'm just kidding obviously, although I do think the audio could have easily just been one track since it only takes 5-10 minutes to play through)
Thank you for playing! Yeah we definitely would have added another mechanic to make it more fun / make more levels, but we ran out of time. The fuel bar increases on specific planets, there's really no marker or way of telling which ones refill fuel except memorization. We'll mark the planets that refill with something later, probably.
