What do you like about your game?
I learned Blender to create models of the moon rover and the lander. Then luckily I found a perfect monster model for my game and to along with a good monster, I found some awesome monster audio created by Atelier Magicae here on Itchio. All of these things came and fit together smoothly.

Hi, I just finished being crashed by the monster :(.

The overall atmosphere is great, and although you have a path to follow, it's blended quite well, and you feel like you can go almost anywhere, great job on that! I would have liked if the rover went a little bit faster, and didn't get stuck that much on some places, but you had the foresight to put a reset rover button, so I'm fine with that. The minigames were quite fun to play as well as the rest of the game. The sounds were on point too.

A short but surely enjoyable experience, well done and good luck with it <33333

Thank you for playing my game ! At the time, I could only add one ending to the game which is the the 'bad' ending or 'lost connection' ending. I am working on adding another ending, in which you can escape. But I will add it after this Jam is over, as it's against the rules to add anything past the deadline. Plus I have to do some fixing of game, I will adhere to all the feedback I've received and try to create as much enjoyable experience as I can. :)

Cool game! I think this game really excels in the minigame area. Although more variety would have been nice, the current ones were fun! I think that the movement was a bit slow, maybe some sort of boost could help! Another thing was that I didn't even know that getting demolished by the monster was the ending, and actually skipped the end dialogue by accident, whoops! the moon also felt very empty, which makes sens, but maybe a tad bit more would have been nice. Overall, even if this game has slow movement and not tons around, this is a pretty cool, atmospheric game with miniagames that are quite enjoyable!

First off, I will start this off by saying, I love space themed stuff so having a space themed game to play was everything, i loved the atmosphere, and the ending was a surprise but in a good way, the minigames were interesting and the little rover was so adorable!

As it has been already said, nice atmosphere! I liked how you turned a basic exploration into a terror surprise.

The scanning minigame is quiere amusing, simple but effective, although it can get a bit too much if it goes beyond 3 stages. Bear in mind that the rewards must be associated with difficulty, so unless you can give a lot, it is better not to make the player take a great effort without knowing what the rewards will be.

The rover got stuck once in the middle of the air, but that was a minor problem that I could fix by resetting it a few times. What is most important is that you paid attention to moon's conditions; I've never been there but felt as if the lower gravity made movement different than on Earth (where I've been living lately).
