It's tough to make a physics-based game in a jam and make it work good, but I haven't found anything here working wrong or weird. Everything looks and works smooth and as expected. At least as far as the physics simulations go, because as a player I have to say that everything went everywhere but where I wanted it. I seem to get better at it with every try, so it's definitely a player issue, not the game itself.
I love the anachronistic look of the ship, the old school steering wheel gave me the vibe I was controlling some sort of a space pirate, down on his luck, trying to get some money to get back on his feet and get revenge on someone who stole his warship. The chill yet upbeat music also weirdly fit - I kinda expected something more fast-paced and tense, but this one fit very well when I was looking at my money slowly falling out of the container and drifting off into space, thinking "oh well, here comes the next one".
Also it feels right with the general weirdness of the game. Like, for example, catching falling treasure chests would be weird enough, but fitting with the aesthetic of the ship. Then there's cats, out of nowhere, for no reason. Though many cats have died because I've moved my booty hole too much, and that's a sentence I can't unthink. And I don't know why it made me laugh, but there was something funny about randomly finding dozens of car doors drifting in space. :P
Ultimately, I think I got to a pretty decent score. I guess I could try and get better, but I think that's a perfect finish. Great game!

Simple physics game, but nicely put together with some good music and graphics, and suits the theme. Maybe it would have been good to have some additional sound for player feedback, but I can see how that would spiral out of control. Nice entry!
