I really like this concept! I got flying around and mining stuff and it was enjoyable. I like it in the 64x64 style, but I feel like it could use something like a system map to let you know where you are so you can plan. This is definitely a game I could see myself playing after being fleshed out a bit more.
right I was also thinking a mini-map would be nice, the whole system used to be 64x64, then we tried 128x128 and settled on 256x256. maybe 128 was better to have a feel of the whole system
Hardcore controls! 15 minutes to lose gravity from red planet. Fun) Would like to play full game )
glad you enjoyed it - that does make it quite a bit more interesting to continue with this
Didn't expect to see an orbital mechanics simulator in the 64x64 jam. I think the game would look better in higher resolution, but you managed to fit it in - good job.
I liked the atmosphere and music.
Shame I couldn't figure out how to refuel your ship. I suppose it's not implemented yet.
Some knowledge of orbital mechanics helps you - for example to catch up to a planet you actually need to slow down. Otherwise you overshoot and die in space with empty fuel tanks. So, the balance - the amount of fuel given to you, is just right.
thank you very much :) yes getting fuel was indeed not implemented yet
I didn't think space exploration would work as a 64x64 game but you did it - very neat! I enjoyed what you got done :)
Thank you so much!
Cool atmosphere! I had a little bit of trouble figuring out how to play, but it seemed pretty interesting once I started getting the hang of it.
Thanks for trying it and sorry we didn't finish :)
Space Ark: Lost in deep space after the rookie pilot used half the fuel getting off the planet. Good times.
that will be the sequel in the next jam :D
Was a bit confusing on how to play at first. I managed to land on the planet and mine some resources. Seems like it could be the begining of something cool!
Thank you for giving it a try!
