Update: Added controls to description
Managed to push it to the key hole on second attempt, but couldn't find second key in the next area.
The art is very nice and funny. The controls are working but I noticed that you don't normalise the zoom level well and when you move in a diagonal, it gets sqrt(2) times bigger than going just X or Y, or something like that :)
graphics are pretty aight
lacks sound though
Apart from this confusion, it was actually great to just explore the different areas, find the keys and have some sort of difficulty progression (although I don't think the player has anything like health?). With some soothing space music, this would be a very nice game to relax :massage:
On my second try kept trying to move diagonally, to gain bigger absolute velocity value to get a bigger camera zoom-out. Finding old crewmates floating in space was a nice, yet a sad touch. Took them with me anyways. Don't know what kind of technologies might be available in those rare alien worlds. Then a pair of very colorful alien friends got attached to me. So I couldn't break their heart, and took them with me on my journey. And then the sad reality hit us - `Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.` (Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, Adams Douglas). Well, at least I have some colorful company for discussions until we hit some planet.... Or more likely a black hole..
