18 Dec, 2025

Merry Vectormas to all you Prospectors! 🎄

- Fixed bug causing too slow death cutscene.
- Faster menu animations across the board.
- Fixed some stuttering issues on monitors with lower refresh rates.
- More fun intro sequence, cuts to the beat drop when you start your run. : )

Suffering of a Teutonic Keyboardist

1. Buy game 2. Start game 3. Read "Controller recommended" 4. Own no controller 5. Play with keyboard 6. Controls are X, Z and arrow keys 7. Keyboard layout is German 8. X and Z are nowhere near each other 9. There is no key re-mapping. I got a refund since I couldn't even play, but I left no review. Help me out here and I'll happily give it another shot....

Blank Screen of Death

I just get a blank screen when I try to run the game on my budget laptop that more than meets the recommended specs. I've played several games in Lua and Love and had no problems. The .exe become unresponsive from the start, and I waited nearly an hour the first try and several minutes on the second. I really want to be able to play this game....

Great in concept, was not a fan of the downward gravity. It doesn't handle well.

Pity, not playable on the Steam Deck

The game loads initially, but once you try to start playing the graphics glitch and lock up. It sounds like the game's still running, but you can't see anything except the menu background with a big black stripe across it and a couple of flickering green borders. Just figured I'd post since there's no information on it yet....

Wish thrust were a trigger

Any chances for this option? Thanks and congrats on launch!

Are they plans to implement Steam achievements? If so I'll be all over this!

I suppose this game is for people who enjoy those, "difficult to control" type games. Like QWOP or whatever that genre is. I prefer precise and fast paced action games instead. Your ship can only fire or thrust forwards, so you have to spin to face the enemy, then spin to thrust in your desired direction, while gravity constantly pulls you down. Not my idea of a good time, sorry.
