Great job!
There is progress feeling with the things we dig.
The game is stable, just a little bug, but not blocking, when we move while the rocket is landing we are in the dirt.
I like it, thanks for your game!
The digging feels satisfying and I was eager to find more vegetables, even after finding the horrible monsters of the depths.
The only thing that put a bit of a damper on my explorations was the slow physics - moving sideways is really slow and the vegetables seemed getting pushed away when nearing them.
But I liked the art and music! The little dude has character and the different planets made me curious to visit them.
...one last thing though: I got no credits when getting diamonds, oil or anything on the second planet. That took my drive out of it - why get further when there is no reward?
I like how everything feels and how the player and rocket just splat on the planet!
There is a bug, where you press the help when the time runs out, you softlock the game.
Also the first times on the planet are really short. I relly would like to see the deeper layers, but I am not patient enough ;)
Too bad, the digging is a bit glitchy... Sometimes, I can hold the mouse and dig deeper and deeper, and other times, I have to release the click and hold it again. Also, there are cases where I cannot pick up items even if my inventory is not full, and I feel like the early game scaling is a bit harsh : new resources doesn't earn much more than the carrots.
But overall, it's a really great game and you did a very good job putting it together!
Back in the upgrade menu, the level of each item didn't at all align with the buttons and I would really have liked to be able to see how much the next upgrade cost.
And I needed 1000 before I could upgrade the rocket to go to another system even though I had most of it left after the upgrade (which left me very confused).
On the new planet I somehow managed to get down to where the stuff was and got the character to pick up two items, but back in the ship they didn't count for anything, so I gave up.
I ran the game in Firefox on Windows.
When I came to the blue planet there was no resources I dug down until my oxygen ran out, but did not see any!
