Keyboard input stream done badly. You should not stream the input but use state variables. The memory leak causes the game to lag, which in turn lets "a"s and "d"s pile up for up to 10 seconds in the buffer.
Besides... "Reach core without Turbo-unit"? You cannot unequip it... meaning if you wanted the achievement, you would have to farm for days, maybe weeks instead of the 6 hours I spent to become able to reach the core with the damn thing actually equiped...

I can't get any of the item to jump, or to upgrade the hornet or anything. I need 100 of this item to jump to another system, and my reward is...100 of this same item? This item eludes me.

not being able to upgrade because I haven't picked up the one rare colored gem even though I have triple the require amount is unbelievably frustrating. Give me the option of using the gem (I have never seen in the game) or paying a little more without it. Or I don't know give me the option of buying the rare ore so I can spend it on the upgrade.

omg so much grind. A really fun game, but it would be better with some balance at the end when things really slow down.

TIP: To those saying they've upgraded everything but still can'tr progress, you need to grind technology. See the bar the bottom of your various upgrades screens? Every point of tech gives a +1% bonus to the color-matched stats. YES, you can go over +100%. How to get tech? Well, you know all those dangerous structures you've been avoiding because they hurt you? Yeah, you have to hit them. Crashing into dangerous stuff gives you tech that boosts all your stats. Without it you're going to have a really hard time beating this. I was at roughly +70 to +100% across the board when I reached the core.

I notice that when return from the red planet to the green planet, the monster at the bottom is no longer present. Am I missing out on anything by jumping right away? Is there an achievement or anything special you can do with the monster?

The game concept is awesome, however the final grinding is just too unpleasant. Having all non-plasma components updated to maximum, I still struggle to gather more than 7 plasma per run, so it is a pain to spend quite a lot of it just to get 5% boost to energy. Before that moment - pure fun.

The lag trumps anything fun about this game, it's just too slow and too much of a grind. 5/5 concept with 1/5 execution.

so.....to get the thermo hull i need red crystals...... WHEN DO I EVEN SEE THOSE?! ive yet to see even one blue! all i get are green!

So if you purchase the turbo you cannot get the achievement for reaching core without the turbo....even if you do not utilize it. I cannot Unequip it which at this point makes those 100 special gems impossible to get. or am I missing something to mine for the plasma that is needed to jump?

i feel like this is a very well designed game. i do have my issues with it but i still believe its amazing. it is just enough development to keep you wanna continue playing. but ive had my moments of wanting to say screw it. also i do not like the achievement system. some seem way outside the realm of possible. "collect energy after your energy runs out" how the f**k is that possible? ive maxed out ultimate hull as well as all other components, and still cant achieve that. also "no Barriers for 500m on red planet"? what is a barrier? not really put out what a barrier is. so that achievement as well as all others are near impossible. im not asking to make it grade school easy just in the realm of possibility's...

Good game, needs serious balancing though. once you reach past the first couple upgrades it becomes extremely grind intensive.

The ? blocks in the red planet DO NOT give more than 1 gem even though the text says so (even count yourself). So the grind is real even on red planet, for the gems.

Best grind advice here is to get the 100 plasma for the jump BEFORE worrying about the tech that needs plasma. ONLY get the FIRST level of the Super (plasma req) engine. Don't upgrade until you hit the red planet. Plasma and gems get very easy to come by then.

Tip: Do not go for the top tier items until you have jumped, because you can obtain LOTS more plasma and gems instead of heading towards the core only for 10-50 plasma each run.

so you're telling me that theres this drill that can dig through ores, giant bugs and bug spawners, but breaks when it hits a rock?

This game is legitimately fun, and the atmosphere I get from the tone of music, man, now this a game. To you who made the game, I simply must say, you've made something special. We need more games like these, and we need more game designers like this as well.

So after playing this game through fully half the upgrades, I finally realized that avoiding dangerous objects is bad. You WANT to hit them, because they drop technologies that give percentage boosts to your stats.

I look forward to seeing badges for this game! But first, how about a little balancing? It's pretty grindy as is, particularly once you hit the lava.

Uhm, why do I have to hard-reset to get the "maniac" achievement? It's wonderful seeing the developer change the text of the achievement rather than the achievement requirement itself. I don't think anyone ever reads ALL the achievements in a game, but rather does it gradually as the game progresses ("ok, i did this one, lets see which one will I do next". 2/5 for now due to this (considering it's intented and was stated as such by the dev) and the lag. Not being able to complete a game that I want to, which is rare, makes me INCREDIBLY frustrated, so there goes.

Okay I finally figured it out I had to make my screen size much larger and then found a next button that was off screen

Is this game broken right now or what? It just says "Captain we have no energy for the jump" and clicking does nothing and no button on my keyboard does anything. Game over at the first screen apparently

It feels like there are some issues. Shield and thermal protection only last the round they are upgraded in and don't appear to be permanent. I don't know what the colored bonuses for different achievements are (not crystals) Has potential though

As soon as you can harvest the plasma to jump, save up for that and ignore buying upgrades, it is much easier to get more plasma on the next planet.
