How does your game match the theme?
It's an unfinished space exploration sim

The game has a nice visual polish but it takes too long to do nearly anything.
Including navigating sadly.
But I think the game has alot of potential. Flying around space in a giant ship, trying to figure out where to go and such would be cool. Expand the idea, I reckon. It's got potential.
This game is very gameboy-ish, so much content, and the cutscenes well-made, I liked your game a lot
DAMN this is POLISHED. There is so many cutscenes, so many places to go, and lots of dialogue. Oh and the art, it was great, like really good.
My only concern is that, 1), I never really knew what I was doing, I just did stuff, and secondly, some dialogue / corridors are VERY, VERY LONG.
Oh, and you might want to change the size of the forward facing helicopter, as it looks really, really weird imo.Despite that, this game is VERY strong in terms of quality. Looking forward to see some future updates of this.Yeah. The long stuff is meant to give a sense of scale, but without any other content to compare it to it's just long lol.
Really? Huh, I'll consider it. Not really sure how to change it--tough to make it larger with the memory constraints of the Gameboy, and i don't want to shrink it down to be the same size as the sprites themselvesI like how polished it feels. I just dont like how loooong the empty corridors are, feels boring (I saw one of the characters talking about boredom, is that on purpose?), maybe shorten them a little?
I'm going to leave them intentionally long in the final game, though I am going to add some life and purpose to them with extra rooms and randomly-generated NPCs walking through them. But one of the major themes of this game (at least, initially, lol) is the vastness of space, hence the absurdly-large world map. The size of your spaceship reflects that, to highlight just how small/slow the player is in comparison to the space they're travelling through.
beautifully done!
It feels like so much polish went into this, it's really impressive! Are you planning on finishing the game after the jam? I honestly want to see how it would have turned out
Very much! I'm working on the procedural generation system right now, and it's very promising! I'm going to implement a rudimentary version for this game, but I'm going to fully fledge it out for its own title. (Even though it could be considered its own title right now, I've changed some of the mechanics enough to warrant a complete redo, purposefully designed for procgen.)
A+ for art, sound, and GB feel! You even got the dimming transitions between rooms right. I'd try to speed up the gameplay a bit and add more explaination of what to do, but overall great job!
lol i should hope i got the transitions right, it's a legitimate GameBoy game that can run on a flash cart
Great graphics, I can tell alot of work went into this! :)
But sadly not enough! It's very much unfinished.
This game for sure did one thing right, and It is nailing the GameBoy soul.
Thanks! That's about it lol

well . art and music was nice
but honestly intro that way too long and when it finished its just like a walking simulator and I just Quit because it was boring
Sorry , Keep it UP ;)
Yeah, fair. The scope of the game I had planned was way too large to implement during the jam (mostly cause I didn't have as much free time as I thought I would) and so I decided to just make the best out of what I had--that being the spaceship graphics, the character sprites, and music.
