I found it a little difficult at the start with the small inventory space but the game becomes significantly easier if you get lucky and find an inventory increase item.\nI have a couple points I've thought of while playing the game:\n\n- Items are pretty hard to see against the black space background, and when you go very fast there is not enough time to react to which item is coming your way. I understand that's the purpose of the top element to indicate what items are incoming but sometimes multiple items can be found in those clusters and there isn't any time to react to pick one: In a low oxygen situation I would throw away a knife to make room for an oxygen tank but not for a fire extinguisher for example. Perhaps there's some skill issue involved here on my end :thinking: \n\n- Progression could use a little tweaking. I found myself throwing away everything, using a fire extinguisher to go fast, and then just stacking oxygen tanks until I get an inventory upgrade, and then the game becomes much easier upon getting one upgrade. Maybe make the inventory upgrade slower? This is a minor point because game jams don't really leave a ton of room for minor tweaks like this.\n\nOverall, fun game!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":799972,"author_name":"PeachTreeOath","author_uid":"peachtreeoath","epoch":1649231020,"text":"This is a really funny and unique concept! I think the best part about the premise is that you have no real idea why you're motivated to keep moving forward and faster, you just are.\n\nI had a fairly similar experience to @carlos-murillo in terms of stocking various items vs using them. I also thought the speed aspect of the game was a very interesting risk\/reward mechanic to slow you down, other than the obvious ones like the cop car or the space dust. IMO there are very few games that let you play with speed in this sort of way so it was nice to see you explore it in a very organic way that was totally in line with the theme of the game.\n\nAll the perma-upgrade items felt AWESOME to get, but it was quite hard to know which ones were which on the first few playthroughs.\n\nOverall I'm a big fan of the speed looting concept here and you explored it in a VERY novel setting and game theme.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":802845,"author_name":"velvetlobster","author_uid":"velvetlobster","epoch":1649259368,"text":"cool inventory system\n","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":802878,"author_name":"velvetlobster","author_uid":"velvetlobster","epoch":1649259649,"text":"cool physics as well, its cool that you linked all the resources ... do you happen to have a \"making of\"?
