now im full 10/10
Good job! I enjoyed it!
Cool concept. Good job!
Quite intresting, i keep flying off into space tho :(
You can press Q to return home, I could have made that clearer haha
Interesting concept! Definitely scaling up (the infection!), had fun with it and I think it'd be great if you'd be able to rotate the camera as well. It can be a bit disorienting if you're some distance away from the asteroids.
Really well done, and the music is a great fit!
Good Job! I quite enjoy flying the rocket. Just think it would be better if you could turn the view around~
I dont konw what to do in the beginning. But I like to move around and see the cosmos.
later on I like it more.
yes im looking for outerwilds in every 3d works : ) Thank you for the great journey
Ha, Outer Wilds crossed my mind too. If you drift off into the void, it captures that same uneasiness.
Wow such an interesting idea! Awesome job! The music and visuals are really good!
Reminded me of Mario Galaxy! While it was fun, I wished there was a way to rotate the camera so I could tell which asteroid I was moving towards. I also wanted some way to slow down the ship because it's hard to stop once you get moving. Great work!
Mario Galaxy was definitely an inspiration, thanks for the feedback!
If your cover art is AI generated, please change it as we do not allow generative AI in submissions.
Thank you, I will change
Oh geez, this was incredibly disorienting and I don't normally get motion sickness in games. Having the ship move in a different direction than its pointing felt odd, and it felt like I kept skimming up against asteriods without having a way to slow down and land on them. The procedural animations are really nice, but I had to stop playing early because of the camera swinging wildly in random directions.
This game is somehow cozy, I've loved it.
I'm seriously amazed by the World Eater's procedural animations and the gravity around the planets.
As others have pointed out, it would be nice to have a way to rotate the camera, not to know where you are (the gravity shifting is a pretty good indicator that there is a planet or asteroid nearby), but to watch as the World Eater slurps the planets. Also, I would've liked having more than one planet, eating asteroids doesn't seem that impactful to me.
Nice work!
Interesting concept but it's definitely diminished by the fact that you can't move the camera! This could also use a slightly better tutorial, I wasn't sure what the point of connecting to the meteors was! Other than that though, definitely an interesting game.
Another thing - the logo image is clearly created using AI, which is against the rules of the jam and you should remove it!
Thank you, and I changed the cover art
I didn't realise straight away that you had to hold the button down for a long time to take off, but once I did, the mechanics are interesting !
very interesting and i like the music
sorry i didnt mean to post twice
very interesting and i like the music
A space game in my game jam? I like this idea a whole lot than I first thought.
The only issue i had was the fixed camera making it hard to look for asteroids, I had to guess most of the time. And the gravitational fields suddently changing making me fly out into space.
Overall, pretty good for 96 hours.
This game is super cool! I love way the gravity works around the planets, that is just my vibe. I feel like being able to move the camera would be a good addition as I couldn't really see where I was going sometimes
I wish there was a way to rotate the camera
Good feedback, thank you!
Oh i forgot to ask, is the thumbnail ai generated?
I really really loved the music. It's so whimsical. I also liked the concept, it's very spooky. But I couldn't move easily, wasd doesn't always work and I couldn't figure out how to move to the next planet.
