Interesting mechanic! I feel like I've seen it before but I'm not sure where. Great job!

How does your game match the theme?
Our game Spaced takes place in what some would call the final frontier, which coincidentally is the second theme of this game jam, space.

Neat concept! I thought it was fun trying to figure out where the ship was. I wish the oxygen timer was less time based and went down as you moved around. That would give you more time to think and make it a little more strategic I think, then having it being about moving and jumping as much as you possibly can.
I think if you wanted to make it time based you certainly could, but I would have more upbeat music to really bring home the sense of urgency. Nice job overall though I thought it was a nice take on the Space theme.

NOGGIN!Really unique gameplay! There is something innately terrifying about making a huge jump and having no clue if it is going to be in the right direction or not. The music might not fit well alongside that feeling but it was really charming so I couldn't complain about that. Overall, had a lot of fun launching myself off into space with this one.

Deep Space Trucker 9Very cool and original mechanic! It got me hooked for a while. I like that everything was simple here but very retro and I don't feel like it lacks anything. Good job!

Space SiegeThat was really fun!
I really like the landing-based proximity indicator. It's like twenty questions; it's a nice spatial reasoning puzzle. I learned to start doing extra test jumps to work out better what the direction of the ship was.
That's a cool arrangement of "Fly Me to the Moon"!
Great work!

MoonstruckI couldn't find the ship, but absolutely loved the game mechanic, the art and the music.

Space ShooterLove the little details about the game, how the waking is synced to the bgm, the parallax background, and the Fly Me to the Moon remixes! The mechanic is also very fun. Perfect little game for the jam.

Not so Dead SpaceVery fun. Nice music. Simple but charming graphics. I had so little of my tank left but I made it and it was rewarding.

Corrupted SignalThe game's pretty fun, if disorientating :D Sometimes you can't see any asteroid on screen so you have to make a leap of faith and potentially go too far. It would probably also make the game easier if you could split the "jumped in the right direction" indicator into X and Y axes. Having to make long jumps *and* only getting a small hint as to whether you've chosen correctly is a bit much, I feel.
Other than that, I really liked the game and the graphics. I found the sounds and music to match well. Good job! :D
I made it with just 3% oxygen left :D

[GB Jam 11 - Space] Forming TerraAwesome gameplay idea and well executed too! Definitely could be a good base to expand on for a bigger game.

Galactic ValetNice & simple! Got back to the ship with 1% left. Not very challenging to the mind IMO, but soothing. I really liked how the astronaut would step to the music.
