Thanks for playing and streaming it !

We'll make UI and available moves more clear in the future and try to reduce retry frustration.

Thanks for playing our game ! We'll try to make more levels (and harder ones) to push the idea a bit further.

Thanks ! Glad you liked it.
We struggled with some bugs during the last stretch, so we had to sacrifice level quantity to stability.
We plan to update it after the jam to add a lot more content.

You're definitely not nitpicking, better indication is required. We planned for some but it was cut in the last day panic. You're the first to suggest highlighting the next tiles though and I'm ashamed to say that we didn't even think about it and this seems like the perfect idea for what we want to achieve.

Thanks for playing. Glad you went past the rocky start.

Thanks. Glad you got over the fact that we badly explained the controls / concept in-game. (There should've been a tutorial, it was almost done).
Happy you liked the visuals, your game looks nice too ! (Don't mind me, I wrecked your neighbourhood)

Thanks for playing ! It's really heartwarming to see that our concept and puzzles hit home for a lot of you.
We're still discussing how to reduce failure frustration and adding a restart button is a potential solution.

We have a bug where the rover already moved one time when the level starts, which add to the problem of having enough time to figure out the level.

Thanks for the time spent on it and your detailed feedback!

Sure, we need a restart button (or rewind, à la Into the breach). I was frustrated as well during playtest as well but we had to upload the game as is, there was no time left. (we uploaded the game 3 minutes before the end because we had a breaking bug)

We'll fine tune all those aspects after the jam. We'd like to see our game as we envisioned it (if we had more time :p).

We'd love it too ! :D We will try to make a more polish version after the jam !

Thank you for the feedback. We would have like to have time to display more useful information through the UI. It is a bit hard to predict how the operator will correct the route but we made a point to at least make it consistent so once you've seen the outcome of one input at a precise point you know it will always react the same way.

Thank you for taking the time to figure it out, I think we could explain it better. We should adjust time between moves accordingly to level difficulty.

Thanks for your feedback ! Ideally, we should decrease tick duration on later levels, to increase difficulty.

Thanks ! Glad you like the art, we spent probably to much time on this for a jam but we're happy you - and others - like it.

What our game looked like during greyboxing :

Thanks!

Glad you found the concept interesting. We surely have to make operator route correction more obvious. We planned to add some iconography and some foretelling about operator's actions, a stronger level progression (to soften the learning curve) but our last day was hectic and we had no time to implement all that.

We already have a consequent backlog of things we'd like to add.

Hey, thanks !

We're (not that) far from what we planned after 5 hours of design on the first day (we filled a few mood/concept boards) : multiple planets / biomes, multiple types of objectives, some storyline, multiple player actions — not just moving in four directions — and a lot more ; but 48 hours wasn't enough.

Thanks !

We get it that the game ramps up a bit too steeply on difficulty, we planned a smoother learning curve but in the end we had to rush some levels designs and decided to show more of what it could be on later stages.

Thanks for your feedback, we were a bit short on time, I would've like some additional hours (days?) to make it shine as we envisioned it during the design phase. We were going for multiple planets, more interactions, voice lines from the operator, etc...

And it's nice to hear that the music resonated somehow, I wasn't convinced when I made it. I did all the game audio (13 SFX and 2 tracks) in ~3hours, it felt like I had to cut a bit on quality.

Glad you liked it !

Thank you for your comments. Yeah it lacks polish and clarity :( we plan on improving it after the jam to make it closer to our vision with a clear UI indicating the next moves and better idea of the path the operator take. And also more interactions like picking up and dropping objects, mining through mountains etc! We see a lot of possibilities for the game.

Yes we had in mind more contextualization, with a hands off tutorial and some lines (voiced or not) that helped understand the situation.

Concerning the operator, it will try to find back its way. It's not always clear what he will do but he will ALWAYS do the same thing. We considered consistency more important. If you input the same input at the same point he will always correct the same way so you can try a bit and see what route he takes.
