Nice demo, you've manage to fit in an impressive range of systems and content! For instance, I don't see many jam games with a character creator :D I especially liked the environments, with each planet feeling distinct, and the spaceships coming and going is a nice touch. Good stuff!

Thank you for playing the demo and the comments! This was the first time I tried making environment art myself.   
In the original jam submission, the character creator was very rushed and implemented as just a single key press to toggle between two options so I wanted to do something better with this update.
