The game was relaxing, it looks good, and I like the last bit. The main critique would be the build menu was a little annoying to use with the scroll bars.

Very good mood, such chill, enjoyed playing it, but couldn't find how to use the reactor :(

I agree with aaranos for the build menu but it was still cool to play.

Just not going for a 5 stars because construction games are TYPICALLY games where you start with nothing. I think this idea could have been taken a little bit further.

5 stars for the mood though, so chill man :D

cheers

This was a great, relaxing experience. I love chillhop and lofi and jazzhop and all that, so this was right up my alley. My one criticism would be that if you destroy those ore rocks at the start before you know what else to do with them, you can not finish the game, as far as I can tell. The build menu was moderately awkward, but given the allotted time for the jam, I don't fault the game for that. Nice work. Great atmosphere, visually and aurally.

Ah that was relaxing I enjoyed it! Nice music and sound, the art was cute! I like the secret upgrade :3

One issue I had is that I could no longer build trees after the lab, so my asteroid was looking pretty barren :(

Wow dude, this one is awesome. Love the idea about the crafting tree, although the viewport was a but too small for me, but that's just nitpicking. Fits well with the theme, game loop is good, audio is ok and graphics are nice. A bit of polish and this could become an actual real game!

This looks cool and I'd love to play it but it seems there's no build available on itch at the moment :(
