I like this game! It looks nice and the controls are good. I like the idea of orbiting a black hole. Good job!

Cool game and a great idea! I really liked the unusual movement style (side rockets and ect.). Next time you could maybe put some pictures up on this page about your game. It could bring more players!

Nice game! I really really liked the graphics and the overall realization. I managed to be lost in space though, far away from the well, not sure if this is planned :D
Good choice of music also.

Really good game guys! The music and the art were awesome Is it intentional, that you can just rotate around the black hole and collect this way all ressources you need? Because this way it was a bit too easy to beat the game. Also I escaped the black hole the first time I played the game and got lost in space ^^. Still really great game

It's a cool game! I liked the fact that the ship's design changed as you upgrade it. However it didn't seem to me to be very challenging. In the end, I just had to spin to collect a lot of coins and upgrade the ship. I loved the artstyle and the music is cool, it's a nice entry ^^

The game looks really nice, good job.
The setting is great (having to scavenge planetary remains to escape a blackhole), many systmes seem to have been implemented. However, we don't "fell" what is going on : we just need to turn, press up, and then click a few upgrades to win.
I'd love to see that idea being further developped though.

I'm not sure I understand how this game works, it mostly just seems to involve going around in a circle collecting some stuff, then upgrading then repeat.

I don't really understand the goal or how this fits the theme.

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good.
Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

nice game! but I spent half my time in a blank gray screen with the ship running. I can see how the game sticks to the theme .

good job !

Hi,
There are several comments about our game, and we thank you all for play our game and give us some comments and a rating. You are right, it is easy to finish it because we didn't had time for balancing it too much because it was finished with two hours before end of the 3 days building period.
The fuel should be less often in order to be harder to get it at the level needed for go further from the black hole. Also there is a problem with escaping the black hole. After you go further enough, you should be declared as winner even you don't press the hipper-drive button.
Anyhow, it was our first game here, at Ludum Dare, in this format. We'll see how we'll do in the next editions.

Thank you again for your ratings and comments.
