Edge of Space by Marc Grabow

You’re on the run, a billion credit bounty on your head. You’ll have to keep jumping from wormhole to wormhole, deep into The Edge, if you want to stay one step ahead of your pursuers. Don’t forget to keep an eye on your fuel. Being stranded in space would be a death sentence, one way or the other.
Controls: - WASD or arrow keys to move. - Mouse to aim. - Left mouse or spacebar to fire.

I also noticed that, in the time between your ship being destroyed and the "Game Over" message appearing, you can still fly around as though nothing happened, which is a bit silly. Ideally, your controls should lock up and the trail you're leaving behind you should disappear.
The controls work well, I noticed that your shots have a bit of recoil, it could have been interesting to tweak it a bit so that it does have an effect on your trajectory when you move.
Overall the game looks quite finished, maybe it would need a bit of balancing because difficulty ramps up really fast, but it is quite fun to play. Well done, that's a cool jam game :)
However, is a great entry for this ludum, it fits perfectly the theme :smile:
Some assorted feedback:
- The controls are a bit weird (because you aim with the mouse but then move fixed with WASD).
- The next wormhole is usually pretty close to your origin.
- Sometimes you have enemies too close to your new spawn point.
- The camera is sometimes unreliable (specially when going down).
In general it's a good submission, congrats!
