Very fun and well done game, the art is amazing and the game is very fun to play. I would have liked a tutorial to tell me what some things, like living spaces, actually did for my machine.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that an in-game tutorial would be useful. I posted something into the itch description.
As for the living spaces specifically, their value isn't used for anything. It was planned that you'd need those when rescuing people from the towns, but I changed that. Instead the player can't discard them, which forces the player to build a larger machine. And I forgot to remove the "livingSpaces" stat from the game :)
Absolutely beautiful game, a little confusing at first though.
I think cool game… But I couldn’t play it( Because its to laggy(
Thanks for letting us know, as a workaround you can try zooming in on the website (Ctrl-scroll up) which should reduce the resolution and run faster :)
Presentation and use of theme is really solid. played it a few times, but still having issue with the sand storm.
Thank you! Any luck now? There should now be a death screen when the storm catches up to you
Looks really really really nice! I did have a bit of an error with the dust storm, When I was building my ship at a town the dust storm when right through me without killing me or anything but I built a pretty cool ship that looks cool.
Thank you! The dust storm isn't doing much rn, but we're working on it :)
Honestly when I first saw this I was sure it was a spam game months in the works. Goes to show how well put together it is.
I can assure you we made everything from scratch during the jam (except one smoke particle texture I keep reusing across my projects for years :D). Thanks for checking it out despite your initial feeling!
Let me be clear, I’m complimenting you. Probably my favorite submission.
Thank you! Really glad you like it :)
this game is insanely beautiful! the graphics are gorgeous, the duststorm isnt actually a threat it seems, but i love the idea, it reminds me of the game "making it home" :)
Thank you so much! Yeah we kinda overscoped so the storm interaction isn't really done but I'm glad you like it! :D
