Great looking game, had some difficulty figuring out how to do stuff in it.  Found the key in the Gassaloon but couldn't get up to the beacon; kept getting stuck on the doors.  Intro music is very loud, could also use text saying which key goes onto the controls.

Thanks so much for your feedback!

My friends and I got a kick out of this just for the cowboy puns. Love it.

The presentation seemed solid but I could not for the life of me figure out how to do  anything in the Gasaloon chip closet (X and Enter did nothing, and Z just seemed to describe the objects) so I wasn't able to get much of an impression of the game. Having a control reference in the text of the post would be appreciated, too.

Thanks for playing! You actually figured out the whole functionality of the chip closet - after you get ten of them, just mouse over to the left edge of the screen and press z to return to the gasaloon.

Communicating the game's control scheme and objectives was definitely something we struggled with - but thank you for your feedback, it'll be a huge help as we move on to new projects!

Nice! Enjoyed the space exploration especially :) Would love a volume control slider though to tame the level of the music.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the space sections! (They were my favorite part as well)

We'd have loved a volume slider as well, but unfortunately GB studio's functionality was quite limited. All the more reason to use a different tool for our next jam!

Very fun little exploration game! The strange talking snowman lied to me though. He said not to touch the yellow snakes. In the cave I saw orane snakes and I tried to pet them. Snake poison hurts, damn you talking snowball!

Developer

Haha, glad you enjoyed the game!
