Feedback from the experts

Spartez Team: Thanks for submitting your game to js13k :) I got lost in space and I couldn't find my way back :/ You have implemented some interesting mechanics here and started well with the story that you are lost. What I missed was something that connected the mechanics to the goal. I had plenty of questions like: - Why scrap is conveniently being throw directly at me? And why is it damaging me if I need it? Where is it coming from? - What's up with the planets? At first I thought they could help me somehow with fighting the scraps, but their physics didn't help or got in the way. - What are those white "shoots" getting through? Is there someone there? With the introduction chat you started with, I thought we were settled for a different game. I think it'd be worth to ask: If you would be lost in space, what would be going on in your head? These are mine: - How did I sleep so long? - What's so bad about the Corg space? - Where do I find scrap? - How long can I survive on the resources I have? - What is constraning my survival?

Lee Reilly: Those gravitational pulls were an unexpected twist, and I found it futile to try an evade the Corg. I'd recommend experimenting and making their accuracy on par with an Imperial Stormtrooper's blaster fire. I had a lot more fun when I found the cheat codes hidden in the code :)
