Theme interpretation
This is both creators first game! We decided to create a strategy game themed around the Apollo astronauts in the style of the DOS Oregon Trail.

Awesome game! I truly enjoyed the educational and strategic experience! I specially like the “Would you like to look around?” moments, always answering “yes” and enjoying the different tunes and scenes.
Well done!
Hey this was pretty cool and educational! I got stuck due to fuel... noo! Find below my video review!

Not very fund of the gamelay which was a little boring and hard to manage at first. Maybe with a little more audio it would be better. I didn't understood the buying phase at the beginning, as if I had enough money to buy all the things needed.
But it's a lot of work behind it, it just lacks of "juice" in my opinion :)
Well done, I liked the idea for the gameplay, just wished it was a little bit harder to make the choices matter as much as possible.
I love the theming of the game!
The gameplay itself is a little boring, there's not as many interesting events as there are in Oregon Trail. Like I don't think I saw anything significant happen to any of my crewmembers, just a bit of damage to the ship.
Also, the game crashed when I was collecting rocks, but it was the untested Mac version so I'm not gonna hold that against you lol
Thanks for trying the Mac version! I believe it crashed on the rock collecting game due to a dependency on mono's libgdiplus which I wasn't able to bundle with the app :(
If you use homebrew you can install mono-libgdiplus manually which may resolve the issue. Alternatively I believe the Windows version will run under Wine/Crossover fine.
Also thank you for the feedback!
As a non-english-native-speaker, this is hard to understand but I enjoy playing.
Also, font is a little bit hard to read.
Thanks for playing! Sorry to hear you had some trouble.
Super fun homage to Oregon Trail! Had a lot of systems that were fun to interact with. Only thing is it felt a little "set it and forget it", as there was enough money for me to just buy most everything I needed at the beginning without really caring about things. Would be interesting to see crew health/status, or only be able to buy things at certain points, etc. Overall quite fun. c:
Thanks for the kind words and ideas for improvement!
This looks like a ton of work! really like how you tied it all together =D
Thank you! :)))
Just released, give it a play!
