It just needs a little refinement in the controls and the world, the world feels too frantic, requires very accurate control, and the controls are a bit too imprecise; you can only have 2 of those three ;)

This has many similarities with my entry.

I hope you work more on it.

Good idea, and yes can get very frustrating :-)

This definitely qualifies as a rage game. With some tense sci fi music and some alert beeps when oxygen gets low, this game could very VERY rage inducing.  One note blue guy does freak out a bit when picking up a tank, but other than that this is a very solid game. Keep working on it, I wanna get angry!

i didn't understand what i was supposed to be doing but i like the aesthetic

Pretty solid concept, and makes it much more difficult that the other astronaut has to grab the oxygen tanks.

I am spinning in space and loving it.

"It’s unintentionally a rage game." :D really reminded me of spaceBOUND, which is a properly released game and all but still rage inducing

Developer

I hadn't heard of spaceBOUND but it does look similar! And rage-inducing

Nice idea! I really like the overall presentation. Also, definitely a challenge.

It's a cool game idea. It's fun swinging around your ghost. Other than a few bugs with the rope, it's great.

Thanks! Yeah that rope code is definitely fragile—will try to fix it at some point

It's perfectly understandable. Game Jam games are almost always buggy. You can only do so much with the time you have.
