Nice! I like the idea here a lot but a few things could have been more clear. I wish there was better feedback to let me know if my solar panel was the correct angle. Also I ended up losing my batteries and having to wait for the entire night cycle to circle around. I with it would have fast-forwarded to the next day cycle but cost me some points or something. Also, after recovering from losing my battery, I ended up moving directly into a shadow cast by the leg of the spacecraft and was instantly out of batteries during the daytime. That aside, very good idea and a lot of fun!

Thank you for your reply, all feedback is helpful. A FF is a nice idea but I think that kind of takes out the challenge as well. I should have written a bit more about the controls. In the right top angle you can see 0-4 flashes, representing charging speed. The better your angle, the higher the charging speed.

How funny first I wanted to make my entrie simliar to this because when I heard the gamejam theme I immediately thought about poor Philae dying on this asteroid xD

Nice game. 

Only Night cycle was bit fast and rotating solar panel is hard for me too

Developer

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I do not understand the Philae reference. I should make a Google search. :-P

I agree the variables could have been tweaked a bit better. I ran out of time. :-(

Oops, bit painful not knowing Philae, as I am from Europe. :-o

I always liked space games. Day night and solar panel was a good idea. Rotating solar panel was a little hard for me. There's not much to say about the game. Detecting light was a bit hard but two lightning sign helps a lot. I entered Night shadow by mistake and I couldn't escape Night cycle. it's quite simple but fun.

Thank you for your reply. I ran short on time and did not have time to test or tweak. I will take a look into the different settings.
