The character is apparently above her, but when I thought he was going to fall, no, the character can walk sideways in space. The graph is also very simple. Some enemies appear in the middle of the screen very close. Apart from these details, I played for a while and scored some points. I recognize the effort behind each entry, so we are here evaluating and being evaluated just to improve even more. I think the graphics and sounds lacked a little more polish. The mechanics are acceptable. I didn't see where the vastness of space would fit into the theme. The game's cover also doesn't really match the game, because it suggests that you will control that ship on the cover...","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1003182,"author_name":"tmpxyz","author_uid":"tmpxyz","epoch":1696395755,"text":"Scored 126 when finished the game.\n\nThe mechanics looked simple at first, but I had some good times when playing it.

If I had to point out some areas for improvement, I would suggest adding some background music, even if it's from third-party sources.
