Actually Its a nice idea, but maybe a higher or dynamic camera would help the dogfights, also if i could fly backward.

Looks like it would be alot of fun!
I drove around for a bit and shot up some ships, couldn't figure out how to get missions, or land on other planets tho, very cool game

Hey, look at that. Kinda funny how our games can have the same basic premise but be so different. Anyways, it was really cool. I liked picking the missions, Kinda gave it a sense of adventure. Nic job :)

Is that a java game? If you provide a jar file, linux (like me) and mac users could play it probably, too.

It's a cool concept. Maybe it's takes a bit long until I can do my first upgrade. If the first upgrades would be cheaper, the player would see a progress much faster and is more motivated to go on. But as I sayed, cool game!

Looked interesting, flew around but got no mission. Still pretty cool.

Nice game, the first time big planet flew near me I though it would crash in me! Maybe they should be a bit gray as if they are in the distance?

Neat concept dude, the camera makes it kinda hard in fights, maybe have it wider or some sort of radar for assistance, and the missions are a quite nice touch to it

Lost by having $-854. Maybe add a way to use only what money you have when buying fuel or upgrading. That said, ?I was playing it for a good 30 minutes

Nice idea! Making the ship a bit speedier/manoeuvrable would be great, but the basic idea is a lot of fun and you did a hell of a lot in just a few days. Well done!
