How did you/your team interpret the theme?
I interpreted it like this: There is a support/helper character (Engineer), which keeps the more important character (ship's Captain) alive
How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
In my opinion it was really fun but pretty stressful at times :P
It was stressful, because sometimes I thought I won't be fast enough but I ended up finishing one day before the deadline :D
Overall it was fun, but next time I will join in a team!

I like it! I believe short tutorials are essential, good that you've included one. There could be some progression, new dangers appearing, aliens boarding the ship - I think the idea is worth expanding to give gameplay more variance.
Nice game! It was fun and I'm glad that you put a tutorial, not that it was hard to get, but a lot of people don't put it and assume that we know how it works and all haha..
If you keep working on this game, try to put another level, maybe with a smaller map, that people can play before this one.. in my opinion the map was a bit too big.
The concept is very good, the gameplay is a lot of fun, the music fits perfectly, the only thing I can complain about is a bit monotonous graphics, but considering that you were alone it's a very good job overall!
Wow, nice game! The concept's fantastic, and I love how frantic the game gets the longer it goes - especially if you missed how to sprint like I did! Music was also a very nice choice. Graphics need a little work, maybe coloring the different parts of the ship different colors to help you remember where they are without the arrows, and adding stuff like reactor cores and security armor in those regions.
Honestly, my only actual problem with the game was that it's a download! There's a big trend of people not downloading jam games, which is pretty sad. If you update this I'd highly recommend adding a web version.
Overall, the game's fantastic, and I'd love to see an expanded version!
Thanks for your opinion! As I said in the other comment, it was my first pixel-art styled game, so I didn't really knew what to do. Your idea for adding some characteristic stuff like reactors is really cool! I wanted to do this during the jam but honestly I was too lazy for it lol. But I will sure make updates adding those things!
In the first place I wanted to make it as HTML5 build but I was scared that something will break or simply will lag, but I guess it should work properly so I'll think about that. Thanks overall :)
Nice color palette! I really loved the art and UI. The game play is simple but straight forward and the music ties it together well. I'd love to see it expanded into a bigger game in the future. Nice work :)
Thanks for your opinion! It actually was my first pixel-art styled game, so I'm pretty happy you liked the graphics. Also, I was thinking to continue the development too, but I'm not sure how it would turn out. Thanks anyways :)
The music and UI go together really well on this one!
Thanks for your opinion! I agree with you, the music actually makes the game seem "faster".
Simple but effective gameplay. The music is really cool.
Thanks for your opinion! I really like the music too :)
The music fits the game perfectly. Made it a lot more enjoyable.
I'm an engineer so I can relate to being the one dude who has to fix everything (at the same time [yesterday]). The fact that you ultimately fail anyways, because it is impossible to be that person who fixes everything is a cool touch.
My high score:
Thanks for your opinion :)
