CookieJar rated The World Has Ended and I Want to Go Home

A browser game made in HTML5.

Feels very much like the kind of game you'd find in old Atari systems. Very decent style, although the inclusion of sleeker HUD elements gives the game a probably unintentional modern look (in spite of what it might be going for). The premise is bleak yet interesting, though the gameplay itself is a slow burn, involving a lot of blind guesses, as well as a lot of waiting for the character to swirl through the dark vastness of space until they eventually land on a planet. Approximated navigation can be done well (see examples like Iron Lung, where the player is mostly unguided and must look at the map constantly to see where they are going), but in cases like these it's a bit too blind and incalculable to be fully enjoyable. Still, great job on the artstyle, which has clearly grown more and more consistent with your later releases. Good work!
