The graphics are very cute and the physics and the movements are smooth.
I enjoyed very much, and I also developed some strategies like scouting for my base (I always forgot where it was) before picking with my magnet everything I mined.
I couldn't really understand the objective. It seemed like I had to build something with the materials I harvested but nothing happened. Also the platform/base said that I should expect some kind of flying package, but nothing happened.
A very polished game, well done!
That is not a big problems, game is fine.
Also, is that a pig pen cypher on the home pad? I couldn't figure it out. All I got out was "AJABOM JJPACE CO".
As others have said, I also had a tendency to get lost,
maybe reducing the level size or adding an arrow indicating the direction of the base could fix this.
The magnet mechanic is very satisfying!
Good job! :)
cool game if a bit confusing ^^
My Problem was that the game seems a bit to big and the sides are cut of- Also the counter? (left side bottom) is a bit confusing, the numbers go up and the it's back to zero?
Other that that it's fun!
(Also it seems the game freezes if you tab out)
