The artwork is so great! Being able to zoom out is nice, because I get to appreciate the lively solar system you built! Also, it gave me some orientation (without any other indicator or reminder which direction I was supposed to be headed).

Was there a very specific path you constructed to follow? For example, there is a small planet with only trees right by the start. Getting there and harvesting all the trees (5) left me with just enough fuel to get back to where I started, to purchase more fuel (which cost 5) -- so that's an endless cycle. Trying to get further out than that, I don't seem to have enough fuel to travel or harvest very many resources. And there really isn't another store nearby enough to hop to for upgrades. Or so it seems.

If I missed an obvious alternative, please let me know. I really want to explore this game more, because it's so pretty.

So I played the game for a bit and I think the rate the fuel went down was a big limiting factor. It was tedious to gather trees for only a couple coins of profit or non at all. I could not seem to get past the few planets at the start.

Despite this, The artwork was lovely and the animations were great. Overall it felt well polished!

@hawkin @turtleflyte Thanks guys for playing and for your nice feedback!

There are many possible ways to reach your love. The planets with a lot of harvest have better defenses. :)
And yes, the amount of fuel is the limiting factor, you need to upgrade your UFO to increase the maximum amount of fuel.

It's a good idea but its to hard.
The UFO mouvement is really cool and the map is large its really cool.

Liked the art. Could have done with gradual difficulty increase instead of being so difficult from the start, didn't feel like I had enough fuel to even get enough to buy the first upgrade.

@silurus @pikkufighter Thank you! Yes, it may seem a bit difficult, but without it, you can get to the opposite part of the map at the beginning, which is not what I want.

I love how much progression is in this game and how big of a map you get to explore, it feels like a complete game and it looks great too. Navigating the whole system and hopping around planets by aligning and launching yourself led to some really fun movement throughout. Really great game!

Very good submission, had more than a bit of a fight against fuel, but lot of fun navigating all the various planetoids.

It is a little silent maybe, could use with some game sound and music. Also maybe a little legend to explain the various symbols and how they work.

Very cool game, I will play again when I have the next break from work XD

@belonzik @theherborist Thank you guys for playing and feedback!
Unfortunately, I didn't nave enough time for sound and music at the end, so I decided to skip this part. And btw there is no sound in outer space :)
Ok, I'll try to add some legend to explain how the UFO works.

Looks like a good idea, and the assets look good, but the fact that it is not well adjusted makes it tedious to play. It is always best to just stand on trees and wait for them to respawn until you have enough to upgrade, and the just start again. Each time you try to explore you get less yield and most of the time get killed.
I think it could be good with a few adjustments

Thank you for submitting to my stream. The balancing seems a bit off, some rockets do a lot of damage and there seems to be no recovery from being hurt if you have not harvested anything that run, so basically you're locked into a lose state without being able to recover from it. The art is cute, The idea is innovative, but there is some friction with the execution of the idea.

@pikkufighter @yellowkamel Thanks for playing and your feedback!
Ok, I'll change some of the parameters of the UFO.

Very interesting submission, I enjoyed my playthrough a lot!

What I liked:
* I thought the art was really good - I liked the starfield effect, and the way the planets/ships looked
* The premise was cute - the UFO looking for its true love.
* While the gameplay mechanic still needs a lot of tuning (see my issues below), I think it is pretty unique and innovative and shows a lot of promise. It was really fun zooming through the planets and plotting my route towards my love.

What I didn't like:
* The upgrade ship mechanic was nice but it didn't encourage you to take any risks. My gameplay was split into two phases - in the first phase I played it super safe and just upgraded my ship. On the second phase, once I was upgraded enough, I started moving towards my love. Would be nice if the gameplay somehow forced you to upgrade while moving to different planets far away from your initial home base.
* Also, while there are a few planets that can serve as home bases, they were very hard to find and they were not generally on the way to the love. It could be a nice strategy to try to plot a route that goes through a few home bases so I could refuel on the way. Maybe if there was a way to leisurely examine the map and set waypoints? As the game is now, I eventually solved it by running directly towards the love without using any refuels on the way.

Anyway, really cool entry!

oh wow - first off, the artwork is amazing!

The game was just a little difficult, but once I got the hang of it, it was alright. Initially it wasn't clear what the the relationship between the collected resoources (green) and the coins (orange) and the cost of the upgrades were (I somehow related the pumpkins to the orange hud icons).

I think the only thing I didn't like was the fuel mechanic. It seemed somewhat unfair at times, especially considering that vertically ascending doesn't cost fuel, but slight lateral movements on the planet cost loads.

@matank Thanks for such a detailed feedback! I've added some changes to encourage the player to move deeper into the solar system.

"I eventually solved it by running directly towards the love without using any refuels on the way." it's the perfect strategy =)

@lintfordpickle Thank you! When you open a shop you just exchange all your harvest for coins, 1harvest=1coins.
Yep, the fuel mechanic can feel a little unfair, but without it, the game becomes too easy.

very nice game! i loved the mechanic, it felt very good to play! once you get how to do it, it's getting more and more interesting, and i love the fact that you can try to launch yourself very far away!

lacks sound to be a fantastic game, but hey! it's a jam game, and you were alone, and it is honestly great as it is, so great job!

I totally get that you wanted to make a challenging game, but i would've liked it so much more, if i had more time to explore your game and all the graphics & mechanics you put your effort into instead of trying it over and over again, cause my fuel was too low. overall nice entry, lovely graphics and i had no gamebreaking bugs at all, but like i've said i think i might've liked it more, but it was a bit too frustrating for me.

@amarokczukay @trsthstrs Thank you guys for playing and feedback!
You can explore the solar system by yourself, moving from one planet to another, you can even land on the Sun and stay alive =)

Love the graphics and look of this game - the fuel resource is a little limiting, but overall nice!

I really like the jumping between different planetoids but feel like the jumping is the thing that should use the fuel. Then you need to plan your route better.

The background moving and rotating is giving me slight motion sickness (be nice if there was an option to turn that off)

Nice entry!

Ok wow now THIS is what I was sort of trying to accomplish but fell way short (mostly of time). This is SO cool!!

Thanks for submitting your game on the stream!
Here’s the start of your game if you wanted to re-watch initial thoughts youtu.be/a12mtQSnQ2o?t=3397

Really nice graphics! Nice work!
