Super cute! I didn't see anyone else mention it but is Jack the autopilot mechanism? The text on Day 10 was interesting.
hes the pilot.
on six I could barely saw the two gems Besides that 10/10 really great I like the "is this bad? yes." 'spaceship blows up' it's kind of funny.
This game is fantastic. It is short, yes, but its the perfect length for a game of this class.
The characters get a cute storyline which gives the game personality. 10/10
really great! loved the mechanic, very cute and fun
Super cute game with fun content. 10/10

This game was really cool spin on the miner/resource games. I like the structure of the game and the way you used the kit. Great job keep making cool games!!!
Great game, congratulations
really fun game
This game was amazing! The concept was cool, and the story was cute and fit really well! I give 5 stars, keep up the good work!
How did you make the png into a font??
Oh late reply, sorry. Someone else participating in the jam created a font and shared it publicly. I don't remember who it was though...
lovely
Wow, well done with this!
Nice little game!
I love the presentation and the writing was super cute!
Thank you very much :)
Pretty fun little game :)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was absolutely delightful, I loved every minute of it. You could absolutely expand this into being something of a fast-paced puzzle game about which route to take, with areas that are quicker or slower to drill through. The "go towards the core to speed up" mechanic is brilliant, and maybe a bit under-used?
Oh and the characters were very lovable, and so was the writing. 5/5 from me.
Thanks Aly! I appreciate it a lot! Both this comment and the one on the jam page ;)
Superbe game
Thaaanks :)

Thank you very much!
Enjoyed the writing.
Cool! Hope you didn't dislike the rest ;)
Love this idea for game !!! :D
Thank you! :)
This is terrific, great work!
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
This is exceptionally cute.
Thanks :D
Really nice! Feels polished, I like the dialogue between levels. I can't beat the final level however... I guess the timing is extremely tight?
Thanks! Oh perhaps you could try a different path? The timing for the last one isn't all that strict, it's more the path that's important I believe.
too much text at the beginning if the game!
I see, sorry you feel that way but I understand! I'll implement a skip button. :)
