There are some hazards around so you have to gather resources from discovered planets and improve your ship to survive.

I made this game after watching a trailer of No man´s sky and impose myself a rule: dont make a shooter game.

Thanks to Wren (Alexander Petrov Sanchez) for this awesome music.

if you want an in-depth critique of this game pm me or just let me know somehow!

the tl;dr version is I really like it! but I think you could go even farther with the "no shooting" rule -- you're creating a weird dissonance when you make a game ostensibly about exploration and stuff and then put intense music and other ships that shoot at you and asteroids. all of those things suggest a way to at least interact with the threats to get them to disappear w/out just running into them, so you can either create that interaction or get rid of the threats. either way it'll make the game more cohesive imo!

it's really cool though big_smile

Hi! Please write your review right here, its really amazing to me to hear what you really think about the game, it helps me to improve. Ill try to fix things thats several players where telling me, im not a kind of dev that keeps working on "closed" games, i just leave it with its flaws and move on.

Thank you all for playing!
