Very nicely done.

Pros: One of the most polished and complete experiences I've played so far. The love for this type of game really shines through, and I was very intrigued by the mystery. I enjoyed the humorous tone and the puzzle solving. Not too difficult, but not a cakewalk, either. The tutorial was an incredible touch, and something a lot of us take for granted. As a result of that, and the polish in general, I never struggled to PLAY, like I do in a lot of these types of games. The UI, especially the map, was an incredibly nice touch, and made it less tedious trying to figure out what part of the ship I was in.

Cons: Really, the only issue is the nature of the time loop. Time loops are tricky, because they can add a lot if done correctly, but can be incredibly frustrating very easily. In this case, I think the addition of a time limit was a detriment. This type of game doesn't lend itself well to replaying, and I found myself frustrated when I ran out of time and had to repeat the steps I already figured out. Obviously there are narrative reasons for it, but maybe just have a fake loop and a line that says, "And then you retraced your steps" and just put me back where I was. It was doubly frustrating when the timer would tick down when I was just trying to figure out the correct order of operations to use or look at something.

Overall, though, this is probably my favorite one I've played so far. Very fun. Congratulations! Keep it up.

Thanks so much for your feedback. There are some really kind words in here - especially about the tutorial and not struggling to play. Both of these are super important to me.

I appreciate your thoughts on the time loop - I would obviously take a different stance in that I find it very fun to try and figure out the "optimal path" in a game like this, but understand that's not for everyone. I also wish I had had more time to put puzzles in that really utilized the loop aspect (e.g., where you solve part of a puzzle in one loop and the next part in another loop) but alas - a month was too short!

Thanks again for the comments; I'm so glad you enjoyed playing it.
