Awesome! Loved the movement and gameplay loop! Some minor fps issues when looking at a ton of asteroids! But great job!

Great game, great atmosphere, a bit short but cool ending!

The boss might be a bit too easy with the upgrades. :D

Love that the shop has music emitting from it.

I had a lot of fun playing that game. I really liked that as you approached the shop music began to play from it, that was a really nice touch. It was fun to just fly around destroying the meteors. The credits at the end were a great idea rather than a standard scrolling credits screen. I do think that last screen would have been a great place for an easter egg or something though. I also tried flying into some of the planets (including the last one) thinking something might happen but I just bounced off of them.

I do think the boss towards the end was a bit of a let down though, I had a harder time taking down each of smaller enemies than I did that.

Very solid sound design!
I liked the overall feel of the game, floating around and looking for golden rocks.
The X-wing blaster upgrade feels awesome!

Great game.
I enjoyed the main gameplay loop and flying around. Although the boss was perhaps too easy. But the atmosphere and music are great. I wished there was more feedback or "juice" for picking up the gold.
But I love the credits screen!

There's just something about casually bumping into a tiny planet that's hilarious.

Nice game! Flight feels very good, but it's a little bit hard to aim and shoot while moving. It was fun to play and I really enjoyed.

This is cool! Love the space design (especially for only a couple days work). The credits are ingenious too

Wow, great game! Definitely one of my favourite so far. The end boss was way too easy though.

really impressive to do a full 3d space flight fighter sim in a single weekend! blaster sfx could have used a little smoothing out given how frequently i ended up firing. might have also been nice to have a little more visual contrast associated with the enemies to help them stand out more amongst the game environment

great game!
two minor things:
- for me, it was a bit too easy
- you could have added some (more) incentives to explore the maps

fun little game.
Didnt play too long as it was quite laggy on the machine used. I liked the background music, setting the mood for a deep space game.

Cool graphics. I thought the difficulty of this game could have been increased to add more impact. Overall well done!

The ships were really cute, and your space graphics were nice! The controls were pretty smooth, and it wasn't too difficult learning to fly. Nice work!

Very cool! I love first person space games, they are pretty rare nowadays. I also liked to interactive credits at the end, too bad about the downer ending though!

Very nicely designed ships and overall gameplay. Had some problems learning to fly at first, but that everything went smooth.

The boss was a little easy, but I liked the ending message!

Cool game!
Really enjoyed the upgrades, and got really fun once I got the hang of fighting and mining at the same time.
Would have enjoyed some fun battle music!
