Wow, this game really made me jump a lot! I do wish the game was a little shorter in duration and the target wasn't so far away.

How does your game fit the theme?
In this game you dive deep into the depths of space to find a new home for humanity.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I have written all the code, but used assets from sketchfab to design the level.

Really liked the atmosphere and sound design, but I felt that it took too long for anything to happen. Most of the time I was just holding w.
The artstyle, mechanics and atmosphere are really great! Well done! The story adds to the game too. I find the ending really unrewarding for the 10+ minutes I spent waiting and sometimes checking oxygen. Also, it looks like the fire only appears when pressing spacebar, which is kind of weird, because you could easily stop the fire from happening by not pressing the spacebar. The sound effects were really spooky and the autopilot is a great addition. I would have liked it more if there was more to do on your long trip. A way to increase or decrease your speed by taking risks. Or more story/interesting elements to do while on your trip. Great submission.
Great suspense, had me quaking at times, didn't understand the ending its not clear to me, or maybe I encountered a bug as once I reached the red relay beam thing, the scene changed to what seemed to be the beginning but I couldn't move or do anything.
btw i also made a horror game check it out if you're interested!
The visuals look good. I liked the atmosphere of the game. At the beginning of the game, only a long load.
While the game does have a lot of empty space, it makes sense given the time constraint; after all, there needs to be room to let the player feel afraid LOL; loved the little easter eggs the player might encounter along the way, and still So curious about how to unlock the bonus level...
I love the graphics and the atmosphere! Such a unique take on the theme. Well done!
The atmosphere and visuals alone are really good! The idea of traveling to Mars is also great, not seeing too much gameplay besides interactions and playing with fire extinguishers. Maybe speed up the ship to get to the coordinates faster. Nice submission!
very decent game, it is very funny, i like the concept of diving to mars :)
The game is fun but a bit lacking in content, you just sit in a ship and put out some fires, but still a great submission!
This is a good looking game, but I found the gameplay a bit lacking. It takes too long for anything to happen, so you start getting bored. The spooky noises aren't really enough to make it scary. But this seems like a base to make a cool game, if more things happened and it was easier to understand what to do.
I started going towards the coordinates but after a while I gave up on it because it's just so far away. Some way to speed up the process would be much appreciated! The atmosphere is amazing btw.
I really enjoyed this game. As someone who made a game inspired by Iron Lung in the past, I love your approach. Space theme is also my favorite so that is a plus. Great game!
Well done! Taking assets from sketchfab is one thing but they need to be used well. And you used them well, which not everyone can do!
Good atmosphere, nice feeling, liked the game.
Maybe some alerts for when there is some fire would be good
