This game is HARD, but fun to play, and certainly nostalgic. 1UP for graphics and sounddesign!

Super challenging but in a really fun way! As hard as they are to master, the controls feel quite smooth. Great work!

Just gave my final rating: This game is very polished, excellent mechanics and a REAL challange. It also feels very nostalgic. My only recommendation would be to make it a bit more "forgiving": touching the rocks very slightly should not immediately blow up your ship :sweat_smile:

I enjoyed playing the game. The sounds are good. The graphics are good. There were some minor bugs but its was okay. Good work. It wasn't hard to me just little buggy.

This game is so hard but so fun! It’s super satisfying when you accomplish the delivery, especially when you see the learning curve and how much better you’ve gotten. You should keep working on this, I could see myself playing a full release of it!

Challenging, but incredibly fun!

The controls are hard, but pleasant to master.

The minimalist graphics are amazing! I'm impressed with the little effects (the UI text effects in special).

It was a good work! Congrats.

A lovely take on a classic! Very nice graphics and sound, just all felt super smooth. Even a nifty UI path! I'd love to see where else you could go with this. Felt like you should get upgrades or something with each package dropped. The blackholes were too scary for me!

Really solid game. My only big complain is that sometimes it seems like the colliders are too big but other then that great job on the artstyle

This needs more ratings! Really cool graphics and excellent sound design, though I wish there were music/a soundscape. I also really like the gameplay concept.

The game is very hard, though (ironically for many of the same reasons mine is). Landing took a while to learn off the bat, and since it takes so long to reverse momentum, and you die at the slightest touch, I could never get more than a delivery or two. This could really shine with some balancing!

Very difficult, but really fun, and felt very polished. The only thing that it felt like it was missing was some music and some background sound effects (wind, etc.) to just bring the world to life with a soundscape, but the core game itself was very good, well done!

Super difficult but well-polished and a lot of fun. I love the minimalistic art style. Some ambient music might be nice, but nice work with this!

Loved this one! Great graphical style, clean UI, and smooth controls. I also like how fast and snappy the restart is. Also great detail with the engine particles bouncing off surfaces. One thing I noticed is that it's quite easy to avoid the black holes by flying around the outside of the level, it's a slightly longer route but ends up being faster. I like how the objective path updates smoothly. I gave it a few goes and got 2282 points. Looks and feels awesome, would love an expanded version!
