awesome concept! i dunno why by my favorite part of the game was just zooming between planets, space movement felt soo good when u got used to it!

i definitely see this as something that can be expanded upon as well

Very creative planets and nice visuals, but the game was a bit grindy.

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at the playthrough again in the future here's the VOD timestamped to your game

I love that cover art!

I spent a really good amount of time with this! Despite the simple visuals, the game really pulls you in and makes you want to keep playing.

A few notes:

  • At one point, I had enough resources for multiple upgrades, but only one was available, the one in the bottom-left corner highlighted with the paw icon. I’m not sure if that’s intended design or a bug, but it felt a bit confusing.

  • The space is vast and open, which is thematically accurate, real space is like that. But in a game, players usually expect a bit more density or points of interest. Adding more encounters, landmarks, or events could make exploration feel more rewarding.

Overall, I had a great time with it!

It's a bug afaik, if you have the materials, you should be able to buy it even if the button is not yellow. Yeah, exploration is not really a part in this game - you either have the radar or you won't get far. Thx for playing!

Developer(+1)

The paw icon is the selection indicator for controller inputs

the button behaviour will be adjusted in the post-jam version of the game

Really like the mining and progression features in this cat theme space adventure game, took me over 1 hour to finish the game! Could use a simple ending when finishing the game instead of direct back to main menu. Still, I really enjoyed the game!

Edit: While the laser upgrades especially the laser fire rate and reach can go crazy like an AOE attack, the shuttle thruster upgrade seems not benefit the shuttle mobility at all.

Played this for quite a while, was a bit lost at the beginning but once it clicked progression was very smooth. Overall very fun! Love the ui and the visuals. Cute space cat out of ten

amazing game, let me say that for a jam game, the progression felt too smooth to be true! it's an amazing work, hope i'll see more of it in the future!

Developer

I say the very same for your game :) Thanks for playing!

Very nice game! The concept is really good, I liked it a lot. I hope we can see more of it in the future! :)

Submitted

Congratulations on your game. Very well done, fun, and very beautiful, both in the visuals, sound, and music. Success.

Submitted

Nice game, i like the multiple resources so you need to backtrack to fully upgrade and flying your main ship is satisfactory. The worst part for me was the slow starting mining speed and no audiovisual response for being damaged.

Submitted

I really like this game

The main picture art made me instantly want to try the game


My first impressions was a bit down as I felt a bit lost, when i went into the first "planet" I went up, left, right and basically everywhere but straight down 😂
Can be argued it's my fault but I almost gave up before trying to go directly down 

after that I found it very fun, I played for quite a while as well. I think it would be nice to keep track of objects you found and objects that are missing 

And I kept trying to mouse click to shoot which I felt was more natural of a choice.,

I really like the music choice and the art style of the game.


This was a really good submission, good job!

collected items get tracked by the small icons below the resource list, but theres no "missing item list" yet.
We are working on a post-jam remaster that will add a lot of qol improvements, I will put the "missing items" on the list

Submitted

Very cute game! I expected the mining to be a mouse click so it took a while to realise it was space bar haha.

I think this is the game i've played the most in this jam, everything was really well made, great job!

This game is so cool! I loved the theme!! Good job :)

Очень даже прикольная игрушка, такой забавный гринд майнинг в космосе, было бы здорово если ты поиграл бы в нашу игру 

Submitted(+2)

The pacing is solid, and the music builds on that pacing very well! It’s easy to just zone and gather resources. Overall, I liked this game a lot!

the caveats of having too high resolution on my dev system.... 

since that seems to have cut off the upgrade screen (access), its pretty game breaking.

Pushed a fix

Submitted

I enjoyed mining and the pixel art and music is really nice! Unfortunately I think my monitor is a bit smaller than yours because even in full screen I couldn't see the whole game and couldn't get to upgrades or see much of the UI. 

Developer

welp, the joys of developing in WQHD. Sorry for your trouble!

Developer

should be fixed now, that was accidentally very gamebreaking

I got a little lost after entering the asteroid for the first time before realizing I had to head down.  The UI is so fucking cute though and really enjoyed the vibe.
