Fan of games like these. Gameplay was satisfying and did require me to pay attention to a few things at once. The alarms for broken engine/server did just drag me out of whatever I was doing instead of encourage me to keep an eye on things which was jarring. I really like the little hub space you made.
I think if this game was expanded and perhaps got some multiplayer support I would drag all my friends to play it with me.
There is a complete game play loop. Love that we had to adjust all the parameters to match correctly to do research. The engine button press at first feels very stressful and adds pressure but after awhile I worked out that I can click the button from the door. It ended up being an annoying but manageable thing but the disruption is a good balance from the conducting research.
One thing was that when I was trying to get my head around the rules I had the leaver down for a long time so I overshoot the height of the ship. I had to wait a long time for the ship to fall back into the needed altitude. I gave up after 3 mins of wait rip.
All in all good stress game.
Awesome concept! Loved the overall atmosphere and music. Didn't get to finish it though, as I couldn't figure out how to access the research panel. The systems were cool though, I loved how you had to jump between the engine and servers to solve issues. Great job! :D
Had fun with this one! Everything was working well once I figured out what I need to do. I accidentally went 300,000km away from the black hole and it would've taken forever to get back so I had to restart. But I won eventually! :D
