Theme interpretation
eng:
I created a demo of a horror game, showing a hidden side of the moon, a side perhaps imaginative but that still gives the feeling of walking on it despite the landscape is not exactly the right one, arriving on it in the full solitude that it itself transmits.

ita:
Ho realizzato una demo di un gioco horror, che mostra un lato nascosto della luna, un lato forse fantasioso ma che dà comunque la sensazione di camminarci su di essa nonostante il paesaggio non sia proprio quello consono, arrivando su di essa nella piena solitudine che lei trasmette.

The game has great potential, the game in some ways took me back in time when I was playing destiny and dead space and this means that you are doing a great job, I am waiting for further updates for send to you better feedback :)

Il gioco mi  è  piaciuto, aspetto altri aggiornamenti per valutarlo nel migliore dei modi, però l'inizio è  promettente. 

Developer

Finally managed to play this (after a lot of failed downloads), but I'm happy that I kept trying!

I'm very impressed by the cutscenes and voice acting, they really help to set the stage for the game. This game strongly reminds me of Dead Space and the sense of atmosphere you managed to create is phenomenal! The sound effects and music are really immersive and really help draw the player in. I also really like the lighting, and all the graphics fit together quite nicely.

I did experience some of the issues that the other commenters have mentioned, most notably I would have liked a more intuitive tutorial, but I can understand that game like this just needs more time for development. I definitely think you should continue working on it, it feels very promising!

Thank you very much for trying it, 
and I thank you even more for the comment,
 the game unfortunately I developed it all by myself, 
and for a game like this a month of work and very little, 
obviously finished the jam and after finishing some projects that will come out soon,
 dark space will be one of the first to which I will make changes and continue with the development, 
thank you and all the people who are supporting me thank you very much

So I gave it one more try with sound this time. Have a look below:

Developer

thanks for the review, I think I need to add objects that indicate what to do at least for the first part of the game, since it is a bit difficult to understand, thank you very much it helped me so much to see another person play my game

Very nice graphics and sound, good atmosphere.

  • A few bugs, in the enemies movement.
  • Sometimes pressing the trigger or the run button didn't do anything
  • I ran out of ammo very fast and then could only run away from the enemies
  • It's hard to aim correctly since the laser is often covered by the character
  • The character feels heavy, except when he jumps, then he has no weight. A better balance would be nice.

Good job overall, I hope you can work on a more polished version :)

Developer

thank you very much for your advice, for the shot I don't know if you noticed that it has two modes, a single shot the other machine gun, if you put machine gun you have to press and hold and the first shot could take a few seconds, while the other type ea single shot, then each shot must be pressed

Developer

surely there will be new updates as the game will have other levels.

thanks for the report, if you can tell me the precise point of where the problem happens I would be grateful so I can check which audio creates the discomfort thanks
