How does you game fit the theme?
you discover that the solar system is actually occupied by a species of aliens, proving once and for all that we are not alone in the universe. however they have only revealed themselves via a series of rustic looking shops so you do the only logical thing. try to exploit the economy.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
yes, all code, cover art, animations, sounds, etc(excluding fonts) were made by my teammate and i

try moving away from the planet and coming back to it? its a known bug, i shouldve handled this via overlaps but sadly i used collisions

Goxie198613Submitted2 years ago

Ok, this is how I got in, I hold down (s) and hit enter. When I do that it kept changing worlds, and I ended up on planet, I played for a while, made lots of money (screenshot included :)) but could not get from the planet. I tried same aproach, but it did not worked. I am realy sorry, I wanted to explore other planets, but for what I saw, this is really awesome and fun and cool game!

jesus i honestly didnt anticipate anyone playing enough to get that much money lmfao, and yeah the game is super super buggy, so not your fault xd, thanks for playing though! btw we do plan on updating the game after the jam so all the bugs would be addressed then xd

Goxie198613Submitted2 years ago(+1)

About money, it was not so difficult, I just move toward and back from shop until good deal comes :)

I can't unsee this, but I think the spaceship is smiling at my screen lol. In all seriousness, this is a pretty fun and creative experience - and I ALWAYS have respect for people who put in time to have such simple, but charming cutscenes in their games :) Had to retype my seed to get a playable world, but it was a blast! (no pun intended). Good Job!

I like the idea of this, even if it does require a calculator :). Unfortunately entering and leaving planets was very buggy for me, and it was tough to make progress with so little fuel. I like the pixel art, and the music isn't bad either. Nice work!

Submitted

graphicmismatchDeveloper2 years ago

thanks alot! i am actively working on improving my music production so it means alot! and yeah the game balancing is totally off xd, and i definitely was thinking of adding an inbuilt calculator to the game lmfao

Really cool procedurally generated scifi game!

Pros: impressive that you managed anything resembling procedural generation in a week, music was cool, really fun interpretation of the theme, exploiting the intergalactic econemy is just such a funny goal

Cons: many seeds are literally impossible to progress in, fuel drains so quickly that reaching a planet you can't see is completely up to luck, your fix of flying away and coming back is sometimes impossible if you're low on fuel, could use more sound design, UI is kind of buggy and I got stuck unable to reenter my ship a couple times, shops often rapidly randomize 2-3 times each time I enter them.

Overall really fun and funny concept and one of my favorite uses of the theme.

The idea of exploiting an alien economy is really nice, but my main problem is that the random generation made it impossible to reach the planets way too many times, I had to reset the game 4 times just to reach the planet.

but still i enjoyed this, Good job!
