My Project Boost video and game
Video: https://youtu.be/1orFBMQrtEQ
Game: https://swatsonart.itch.io/explorer - make sure the game is full screen.
I kind of went overboard and got carried away. The game is admittedly klunky in it’s current form, as I wasn’t sure how to optimize the frame rate, but I needed to wrap this up and move on. Feedback and comments are welcome! 
Really cool visuals, I especially enjoyed stars and planets in the background. You can really feel like you explore outer planets even if environment is somhow repetable.
I really like the hoppers twist, but I’ve found only 3.
However I was unable to finish level one. Due to low gravity it was realy hard to get the collectables, and in the end I couldn’t find the landing pod, and just crashed into rocks.
Another problem I’ve encountered was that i didnt know that env elements (plants etc.) don’t have collision applied, so before I get it, I was just trying to bypass them all.
Good work, keep up

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Some of the best I’ve gotten so far.
You’re right on level one. I had meant to make the location of the landing pad more clear, but forgot >_>
It’s at the bottom - if you follow the cliff down, it will be at ground level. It may be slightly behind the ship depending on where you descend.
With the plants, good point. This was my first run with Unity’s tree creator, and I wasn’t sure how to include a collider on them.
Again, thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!

The best looking game I played. It sounds really nice too.
I think the biggest problem I have is that it’s really slow with not much going on. I guess it’s an atmospheric kind of game so I understand that there isn’t much obstacles, but I would have made the levels much shorter in that case.
But overall it’s really nice, good luck on the rest of the course 
Also, the hoppers are so cute.
Odd question… but how do you start the game? I see a button saying Barnards Star, but no key I press seems to start the actual game.
Hey Gomisan,
Just use the mouse to click the button! 
– and make sure you’re at full screen.
As noted above, the CN Leonis (Planet 1) level is a bit wonky.
Thanks for trying it out!
OK! Now I see it wasnt full screen so I didnt see planet 1.
A very different take on the game, nice to see someone thinking outside the box. The spaceship model looks very complex, and I wonder if a simpler model might help the game load a bit faster?
Also, I found the keys unintuitive, perhaps an option to use a different set of keys. Especially since pressing W feels like it should make you go UP, not forward.
