Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • I'd love to give this a 5 star rating because it's pretty impressive, but it doesn't really have any gameplay. I'd love to see what this evolves into!
  • Damn, you need to make this a full game! Fantastic graphics, great music, original concept, cute gerbil, the game has it all! However, it shows some gfx corruption on the planet on real hardware too. Also, if a feature is not implemented, you should not put it in the manual :) Please keep working on this, because you have something great in your hands!
  • Despite being a little unfinished, this looks, feels and sounds absolutely stunning! I found myself just sitting and enjoying the atmosphere for a while. Also the gerbils are perfect and I will protect them with my life.
  • Nice presentation, shame there isn't more to do
  • This looks fantastic. The polish on so much of it is excellent, the camera, the menus and the music are all so good. I just wish there was more actual gameplay.

Jam ROM submission

Ok - understood! I attached the GBA ROM file as "MYGAMENAME_jam.gba".

Looks very nice, but maybe because I’ve never played KSP, I’ve yet to figure out what I’m doing :) I only managed to increase and decrese the throttle, and rotate the view (very nice and smooth).

That's not your fault, there wasn't enough time to implement all of the features. The camera and throttle are pretty much all you can mess around with. I hope I find the motivation to finish it off someday.

Wow, I love the whole aesthetic of the game! Also the music really fits the vibe :)

The only things I'd say is that the game might do better with an interactive tutorial but it's understandable why you didn't do that :)

Also, I played through it in m-GBA, which caused the game's graphics to corrupt somehow.

All in all, great game, well done :)

Thank you for your comment!

That glitch has been the bane of my existence for the past 2 days. It goes away completely if I disable the music, but I figured including the music was more important than having it work on emulators. Finding a fix for that corruption is certainly going to be a priority of mine, as well as patching in all the other features that there wasn't time to complete.

No problem :)

Depending of mGBA version some glitch like you experienced happen randomly ( the version 0.9.3 is the one that work the best, but you can still experience this glitch randomly)

I recommand you to try on hardware which seems to work even better

Ah, I did actually use mGBA version 0.9.3, If I remember I'll give it a try on hardware :)
