There seems to be a lot going on, which is impressive for a jam of this length. However, interactions break for me. I cannot do anything with the items I collect.
Pretty cool little game! I had fun. Love a good space theme and this had some great unique concepts. The audio was pretty loud in my headphones and with no option to mute/ turn down the volume it got a little repetitive and overbearing. The art was all really cohesive and everything felt like it belonged. I'm awful at reading retention, so having the option to reread the instructions at the start would have been nice.
Overall really great showing and I'm glad I gave it a play!
Looks that game is dangerous for my videocard or something... played 3 times, got 3 critical pc reboots at same game place, is this something special with dirt tiles? they became violet when i switched monitors. My viewers played game too, and some of them got very high videocard load, but only my pc rebooted every time
Edit: Found some info about broken html build in game description, tried standalone version. It works ok, but i can't get feathers from birds, i tried to kill em and use "E" key that instruction says. Is it bugged or i missed something? Ingame art and animation look beautiful, kinda Don't starve vibes
Some good originality here: oxygen eggs, fuel man in a well, angry seaweed tentacles defending the shore. This game is free to be weird, and unorthodox because of the mystery associated with space!
Some clipping and inconsistent volume here and there and the tentacles are a bit OP sometimes (I wander near 5 spawned on top of each other and got one shot haha).
There's a TON of features sprinkled about which is great, because I can see this game going a lot of different directions. I experienced a lot of Don't Starve vibes, one of my favorite games of all time. Great work!
It took me some time, but I finally managed to finish the rocket (I believe the game is supposed to end after the "space core").
Exploration is a theme often missed in game jams, but not here. The game has great longevity, and discovering new species breaks the repetition.
The music gets a bit annoying after a while, but it's not a big deal.
Definitely one of the best games of the game jam.
Could not find the space core :( Where is the old man :( ???. Super nice game and everything was done very well. The music slaps. The artist deserves a reward. Controls are smooth. UI is easy on the eyes. Overall great game.
Suggestions :
-Populate the world with a variety of life (plants, trees, more animals, different floors)
-Add a map
-Add screen shake if something significant happens.
Hope this helps :)
Just some clipping that also popped up while I was playing.
Thanks for playing :) We actually knew about the clipping bug that you showed but ended up running out of time before we could do anything about it. The screen shake suggestion is also a good one, we implemented it for when you get hit by the tentacles, but adding more screen shake elsewhere would be good. A map is something we though we should implement through our testing play-throughs nearer the end, but again ran out of time. We actually added a foliage system but it doesn't seem to work on any of the exports, on my computer the windows export had foliage, but on any of the other team members PC it didn't have any, but maybe it will work.
Lots of things to iron our if we can find the time to keep working on it, but could become a neat little game with a bit more time put into it.
This game is great. I love the visuals and the music is cool, I couldnt find any feathers so not sure if i missed something but overall great job i this is an impressive game for the limited time it was developed in.
Very interesting bro
You are great developer(s) or robots without sleep needs if it was made in 48 hours )
Great job!
Well done team! I’m embarrassed I missed the exit grate T_T Let’s play : https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/sharex-hN8T5vpN8wZGmmwU/2024/June/02/22/12/42/620/438c6eba-f3b5-4c84-93bf-932f395d78f3/2024-06-02%2022-07-05.mp4
We planned to make a more helpful tutorial, but time was a very limiting factor, a lot of things could have been made clearer, but im happy with what we managed to create in such a small amount of time. Thanks for playing :)
