Really love the idea of this game! Looking forward to future updates.
Also I think it would be more fun to play if the rover could move faster.
Cool graphics and generally a very nice game
Love the simple physics. feels great.
I love the graphics, and the concept. I was pretty far in (next upgrade tier was at $800) when a meteorite hit me.. Can you at least tell me if aliens are real?
Also, the W and S keys both tilt the rover to the same direction.
Thanks you, There was a cave at the end with an alien in the but there's a twist. Will look into the W,S key problem when I work on it again thanks for letting me know.
The Vibe of this game was really cool I think something like this would work really well in 3d!

Damn this is such a wonderful and relaxing game. Core mechanic was simple but the simplistic pixel graphics and ambient music really got me into a nice and chilled out vibe. Is there only one charging station? If there was another one then I don't think I went far enough so you might wanna add another one a bit sooner just to make the early game a bit less repetitive going back to the start over and over. Still I really enjoyed this and hope you keep working on it!
Thank you so much for your nice comments. I didn't have another charging stations. I did want to add place where you could build some with metals collected but didn't have time. Will keep working on it all the feedback from people is a great motivator.
I really enjoyed the art style of the game, but the gameplay was quite boring. The rover moves a bit too slow in my opinion and there is not much to do. Once you scanned some rocks, and recharged your battery, you had to move a long empty way back without doing anything but holding the D key.
The music was well chosen for this project and the sound effects were nice (altough a bit loud, but that is just personal preference to me).
I personally really like space-exploration themed games, so I hope that you continue development as I see the potential with the concept!
Thanks for your feedback, Make you right even when I was play testing I did think that. Was hoping to add a speed upgrade and when the asteroid hit mars they would form more rocks to upgrade, But ran out of time I do want to work on this got plenty ideas for where this game could go.
Minimalistic, yet mesmerizing artwork 👌. Nice job!
The game is very nice, I like the art, Rated it! If possible do rate and play my game :)
Good game, nice work! I liked the atmo of the game a lot and the graphics, sound selection were nice too.
Cheers Mate.
Nifty graphics, good atmosphere, I had fun. It would be nice however to have some way to recover or restart when the rover gets stuck on its end, instead of having to wait for power to slowly run out.
Yeah Definitely should of added that to the game. Thanks for the comment.
Interesting concept and well executed! Good job!
Thanks!
Best soundtrack so far in this jam, great little game too
Thanks, Can't take credit for it though found it on Free sounds. left audio till last minute so couldn't make my own.
I love the feel of this game, music and art are both spot on. Enjoyed this game overall, impressive work!
Thanks A lot Appreciate the comments.
I think you did a great job capturing the vibe of driving a simple rover on mars. The pixel graphics and color were spot on! The music and feel were very martian!
Thanks for your comments. :)
Really like how chill it is, would love to play more but first run battery runs out so quickly, and then in my second run I upgraded my battery twice and then flipped over going down a hill. Would have been nice to have a way to manually flip myself back up so I could keep going
Thanks for the comment. The W/S controls should flip it but didn't always work did try to fix but not enough time. Definitely will come back to this game and work on the whole upgrade system.
Love how little rover rolls down the hill. But the battery runs out so quickly.. Need more funding to determine if aliens exist.
Thanks, that was unexpected quirk being able to roll down hills, Will work on balancing the battery and stuff another time I think.
