Great game, I enjoyed it a lot! I found it a little hard to get over the gap in the ship maybe add a jump or enable jetpack while on the ship

Developer(+1)

thanks for the feedback! πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€

the gap will be something we actively discuss for ages on this one, it’s well deserved critique

Submitted

I love the aesthetics. Initially I was a little confused to know what to repair but after the second run I noticed and I found it easy to fulfilling. Maybe there could be some interesting hazard, like you cannot walk in front of active exhaust/thrusters.

Developer

we really want to do:

  • asteroids
  • limit your time outside on each go

we are on the same page there - and actually there were a few more, but… time unfortunately.

thank you for the feedback πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€

Great game, love the art and the jetpack.
Got to decay level 2 where i fought the game to a stelmate, didnt lose, but couldnt win so I quit.
Just 1 complaint, entering the ship is super hard, there is no jump button and your jetpack doesnt work inside, so it feels super bad when you dont make it the first time, you have to go away from the ship and try again.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Your complaint about entering the ship seems common, though we did leave it that way intentionally. Maybe if we had more time to add ships we would have made this a later, harder ship

Developer(+1)

you got to level 2?! I really wish we had the time to add a leaderboard to track this, our personal best was 2.5/3.0

entering the ship was a hot topic throughout the weekend, you’re completely right, it’s not the best. it was a non ideal way of adding some complexity to a game that is super simple in terms of movement - if we had more time would definitely think of something else.

thank you for checking it out and the feedback - and you might be the world’s best record at it πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€

Loved the game and the visuals! It also deserves extra credit for being open source!

Developer

So proud of the visuals, thanks!

Submitted(+2)

I can see that so much went into developement: dynamic music, parallax bgs, wide input support etc. And a big cherry on a top in a form of an adjustable difficulty. Fantastic entry to the jam!

Developer

Very glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

Very Good Game! I Liked The Slight Difficulty In Movement And The Music And SFX Are Amazing :D , Good Job! :]

Developer(+1)

we poured our hearts on polish

thank you, glad you enjoyed it πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€

Submitted(+2)

Nice little game! I would love to see more content like different systems of a ship that affect the movement, e.g. engine cooling and fuel delivery

Developer

Content is the big thing we’d like to see more of too.

Submitted

Easy 😎

Developer(+1)

WHAT!?

Developer(+1)

you are a LEGEND, I literally just replied to someone else that got to 2.0 and thought that was already impressive and borderline impossible (we ourselves only got to 2.5)

thank you for putting the effort to break it this hard πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€

Submitted(+1)

I can actually reach 1.5 only if I want to bear for 30 minutes more oof

Developer(+1)

You're actually insane for this :O

Really fun entry!!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+2)

This is such a unique entry! It's nice to see another space game for this theme. The mood is just right., though I love how you could just jump on the orbital decay for fun ahaha

Developer

ooooooo stars collapse <3

thanks for the feedback πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€

Brilliant. A very fun EVA simulator with stunning art and well-designed mechanic. The only thing I am unhappy with the game is that it does not have more spaceships to repair. Top notch.

Developer

We wish we had time for more ships/content too!

(+2)

Congratulations! I was thoroughly impressed by the technical aspects of the game, particularly the surprising inclusion of console controls, which added an unexpected layer of depth. While the gameplay initially posed a challenge due to the external parts of the spacecraft blending into the background—a situation that might benefit from a more complementary color to the purple within the color wheel—I found the jumping mechanics to reach these areas to be immensely engaging. As a well-crafted game, it fulfills its primary purpose: to entertain, offer replayability, and most importantly, to captivate the player in such a way that time passes unnoticed. The detail of maintaining a trajectory in space, untouched by any obstacles due to inertia, was a physically amusing touch that ultimately led me to discover the immense black hole on the right. Lol.

i certainly didn’t expect the ending of this review story lol, thank you, glad you enjoyed it

Developer

This reply… is art. :’)

Amazing polish on the game, from the menu to the graphics. everthing works as intended and i didn't run into any bugs, only things i can say are

1. no jumping inside the space craft so to get to the other side u gotta get momentum from ouside of the ship and come back in. 

2. this is really personal and i get that this is kinda fixed with the increased difficulty but the gameplay loop is smalll. but since im not really the person that sits around getting a better score this is just personal pref in my eyes. 

great game overall!

Developer

Thanks for playing! We thought about adding a jump but thought the momentum was a fun technique. It’s definitely more of a β€œget better and better” arcade game, but some new content would be cool, yeah!

Developer (1 edit)

thank you for the feedback!

  1. that is intentional, we went back and fourth and decided it adds to the β€œrush” feeling (though admittedly a bit cheap)

  2. you’re spot on and I don’t think it’s fixed really with the difficulty setting. my wish was to actually have you escape and go to a second level… where there might be asteroids or something out of the ship… but time is sadly a reality and we decided to cut and focus on polish

Submitted(+2)

Great Job! The only thing that I do to improve the game is prevent recently repaired modules from breaking for 1-2 seconds.

8.5/10

Developer

Yeah, that seems to be a common gripe among testers, but glad everything else is ok!

Great game xd but if my wire ever snaps i will make the humor into 5* too

Developer

I would hope your oxygen tube doesn’t snap!

but where humor then xd

El primer juego que probΓ©, por el momento el ΓΊnico, muy fluido, un arte precioso y la cantidad justa de contenido, te veo entre los finalistas.

gracias por las palabras πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€

parlo pouquinho espanol mas compreendi

I like the atmosphere and art. Good work.

Developer(+1)

thank you πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€

hard to go for atmosphere in space : P

Developer

Glad you like the art! Thanks!

Submitted(+2)

After you get the mechanics the game is very fun! fixing the ship is interesting with the zero gravity movement. very fun and polished game!

Developer

it’s always a risk to not overexplain mechanics, i’m always afraid people won’t get it… every time someone say something like you did, it’s a relief : ), thank you πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€

Submitted(+2)

Art looks amazing and the movement was pretty fun to master. overall felt really polished. Great game.

Developer

thank you for the kind words πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€

Developer

So thankful that you think so!

The all around design in this game is insane, incredibly impressive. I suck at the game and am a bit confused as to what each box does but the mechanics are well made, everything works smoothly and I didn’t come across any bugs.

Top Game here

Developer(+1)

that’s super kind thank you πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€
