Here's the quick rundown of my thoughts:\n\nPROS\n- Very smooth movement and camera\n- Lack of gravity and air resistance makes for a very unique flight sim game\n- Lighting and the atmosphere effect is really cool\n- Music is nice and adds to the mood\n\nCONS\n- Encountered a glitch (?) where you get stuck on planets after crashing into them too often\n- Collecting is difficult, hitboxes on the cubes might need adjusting? (Though it might just be me being bad at the game haha)\n\nFor full criticism and breakdown of ranking, as well as candid reactions to gameplay, do check out the video~\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TvFOGRAzCsg","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jerm","author_uid":"1003563","time":"2017-05-10T04:13:32Z","epoch":1494389612,"modified":1494389612,"text":"Fun game! The controls were a bit difficult at first but I got better with them after some practice (I was using an XBox 360 controller). At first I tried to fly along the surface of the planets to pick up the cubes which I found almost impossible. A better strategy for me was to dive down at them from space.\n\nGreat graphics and audio and the game had a nice atmosphere (no pun intended). I enjoyed flying through space and looking at all the different planets. I eventually managed to get all the cubes:\n\n![Complete.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/bed\/z\/4255.jpg)","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"w1n5t0n","author_uid":"1001537","time":"2017-05-11T03:36:20Z","epoch":1494473780,"modified":1494473780,"text":"The game was really fun!

Depth is really hard to judge, so I'd suggest making the collider on the collectible objects bigger than the visual mesh; I know that they're already friggin' enormous, but the player moves fast and the controls are touchy, so it's easy to fly right past one you thought you were close enough to touch!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ga\u00ebl PHILIPPE","author_uid":"1015491","time":"2017-05-16T11:59:30Z","epoch":1494935970,"modified":1494935970,"text":"Really fun game to play !

I really enjoyed the atmospheric music: calming and not repetitive. I struggled to maneuver through the system though. With the large distance between objects, you end up moving deceptively fast, and there is little forgiveness when missing a collectibles (I would echo the suggestion to increase the size of the collider there).\n\nI also somehow got stuck inside a planet in my attempts to turn around for a missed collectible, and was unable to escape.\n\nGreat mood and feel. Visuals and music were both pleasant and relaxing.
