How does your game fit the theme?
You play as a space man stuck on mars with a neverending storm around you. You need to use the time before the storm to orient yourself and pick a path to find your ship parts. The storm then decends on you and you need to repel it using your tools.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code is from scratch but we do have some assets that are were not made from scratch.

Nice game and good fit with theme.
I really liked the flag mechanic for making safety zones. Makes you want to push your luck to see how far you can get out. The effects were also fantastic. All the lights and indicators really made the game shine, not to mention the nice little character.
It was pretty cool to see the ship coming together more and more. I got a tonne of the pieces, but I must have missed one or 2 that I couldn't quite find. Really great job on this game!
The flags point to the nearest piece. If there is only 2 pieces left they will point to them even if they are far ^^
Thank you so much for playin!
Great take on theme, the graphics are AWESOME!
Really liked this! Enjoyed the feeling of slowly gathered more flags, letting you journey out further and further. Especially when you see parts in the distance and can plan to return later when you've got more flags. Tense moments of "will I make it to the next flag" were great.
Using the flag direction as a diagetic way of pointing out the parts was a really clever touch too!
The graphics are outstanding, the main gameplay is quite fun, the only problem i have with it is that nothing much happens between the storms while you walk around, and also it takes quite some time to get all the parts, like i found and got 6 + saw two more, but had to move one with my live, wish it had saved my proggress so i could return to it and finish it. Good job!
The visuals were nice and clear. the gameplay got a little repetitive after the third or fourth ship part though.
Me when the I did not use the flags :( me when I finally used the flags :)
I wish we made it more clear how to use them but we spent so much time on the visuals and to make it smooth :'(.
Thank you for playing ^^
Hee-ho. Cool idea, art and gameplay (now, I like flags). Thank you
The flag mechanic reminds me a lot of Astroneers tethering system, really interesting idea to have to build your own tenuous road. The model and map are very polished and the game has a great sense of ominous dread with the whirling storm in the distance! Great atmosphere and overall fun experience!
I have a small problem, whenever you're out in the open and the storm is there, and your flag route is detached, what to do? Other then that the storm is atmospheric, I like the astronaut just sitting dangling its feet in the main screen, it's really cute. Fits the theme well. Some music and more sound design would haave turned this into something really immersive.
The UI and player feedback was really really good and the atmosphere was incredible! I wish there was a little more to do when going to get rocketparts that were far away, or maybe a vehicle to get there faster that comes at some cost, but you applied the theme really well and created a really strong, atmospheric game. I could see music going a long way but the lack of music also contributed to the desolate atmosphere so you could definitely go either way. Great job, really impressive for a one week jam!
The UI is beautiful, the jump animation is so cute, and I love the art style.
I liked your game, the character felt smooth to move around with, picking up items and placing flags was satisfying. Great job on your submission!
I've been playing since the rate period started this is the first game of space I saw !
Thank you!!
Really nice game. The controls are smooth and nice. The sandstorm mechanic is cool. Can't complain :D
Thanks ^^
