- not sure where the loops are
- good scope/duration for a jam game
- graphics were good
- music loop could have been a bit longer, got repetitive towards the end
- would have been nice if the level just restarted itself without the player having to click the 'restart level' button, after the the crash animation, having the ship ready to launch again would have been fine.
I didn't find the theme however. At first I thought that my be at some point you get stuck in one of the planets' orbit, but I didn't happen to me during the whole playthrough. Also, sometimes the ship wonders off, and you don't know if gravity will bring it back.
Other than that, I loved it. Would definitely play some more levels if there were any.
Cheers.
Im just not so sure were are the loops. Maybe the planets fields?
As a quality of life improvement I think you should automatically restart the level when the spaceship crashes or goes outside certain boundaries so the player doesn't have to click restart every time. Or at least add a restart hotkey.
