Nice concept! I enjoyed playing the game. I think improving the audio would make the overall experience even better. Great job!

It's a fun concept but the balancing feels a bit off? It's hard to explain but everything goes from being way to expensive to immediately way to cheap without any middle ground.
Really liked the concept, though I had a hard time getting used to the controls.
The upgrades were I think a bit too expensive.
A really original idea with an incremental system that works really well. The animations are smooth and fluid, giving the game a wonderfully cosy feel, nice work!
That's really cool mechanic of the rocket! I also love the earth render very much. Good job!
At first i was kinda confused what was supposed to happen, i thought i was going through a tutorial but then when nothing moved i tried to move and it turns out i wasn't really in a tutorial.
i wish the UI for the shop could be hidden. The art looks nice though but i really think the movement feedback should be a little snappier.... Just saying.
The controls were pretty confusing but once I got it I was on a roll! I wish I could earn money a little faster tho (might be that I suck). Really liked the art on this Earth looked juicy! :D
The art is great! It took me a little while to get the hand of the controls, but then it was really fun!
I did feel like it took quite a while sometimes until I could unlock a new upgrade, but that might've just been my lack of skill xD
Good work! Keep it up!
Rush max_speed then chill in highest orbit and nothing goes through. Earth is protected. Just doing my job !
Solid gameplay that holds itself well for a short duration but needed better pacing. Some thoughts:
- Solid art direction. Like everything fits from the UI to the little asteroids, to the earth, it all has a very cohesive art and visual and that deserves praise.
Some concerns:
- The game needed better incrementals, each asteroid only gives 1 points and the game doesn't seem to spawn more, and upgrade costs increase exponentially relative to income. The economics in the game design don't really match up.
Ticks all the boxes for a basic game, but feels cookie-cutter. There's nothing new or interesting to hold my attention. The visual effect on the planet is great, though.
Honestly very addicting, I feel like I went brain off mode and just got sucked right into the game for a bit there.
Nice execution! Would love to hear some matching bgm while orbiting. But happy to see other entries around space traversal
I love how the game looks!
I like the concept, it is simple and fun but the game gets too easy once you get a few upgrades. Maybe you can look into incereasing the difficulty as the game progresses. Really addictive game though!
The look on the planet is AMAZING! well done, it took me some seconds to get the controls, but once I did I was hooked, well done! this game has potential
