Frog In Space by Derpasaurus
The first jam and first working game my friend and I have taken part in. A game about a frog, in space. Fly around and try to put your mothership back together by dragging in the scattered parts, and watch out for the space worms!

Loved the parallax, it adds a lot. Also the lights with additive blending in front of the ship.
Controls felt smooth.
Gathered 4 ship parts. I didn't see any space worms.
Having an "end" of the space was funny :) I liked how you bounce away from the edge.
I think fuel consumption could be more forgiving. Turning the ship either shouldn't cost fuel or maybe should cost less. Braking as well... I think those are ugly ways to balance the game difficulty.
After collecting 4 ship parts from each side(east,west,north,south). I didn't know what to do... I don't know how many parts I should gather. A simple 4/N text somewhere could be awesome.
Eventually, I went deeper into the space and found nothing no ship part indicators or anything and ran out of fuel. Felt bad and didn't want to play again when I lost after collecting 4 parts. Because it gets too repetitive to do the same thing over and over again.
Thanks for the game! <3
