How does the game fit the theme?
That little monster does not want to be captured. The beast will transform your ship in a mess. You have 3 minute to survive. Nothing can go wrong.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Only sounds have been generated by ChipTone.
All arts and code were done during the week

Awesome little game! With a bit of expansion, better tutorial etc I could totally see a full release on Steam and maybe even Switch!
Impressive artstyle, and cool mechanics! Reminds me of FTL a bit.
Art is amazing and sounds are good.
The controls with Tab and then reaching for the mouse is a bit weird. Maybe close/open doors with a key on the keyboard when nearby instead.
I was also a bit sad that the frog didn't attack me in some way when I got close. Expected a long tongue or something 😋
GG
Noted for later ! You are right
The space art is amazing! Great game overall.
Fun game, I really like it.
Cool game! I had some issues to activate the the doors and the frog getting stuck in the beggining sometimes. that asside its a cool game. Well done!
I hope you had a good run playing Beast Aboard !
Very fun! Loved the look and feel! Great job!
Really great entry into the jam, congrats. I only had some troubles locking the door, like if the cliclable area of the button was smaller than the graphic, but I got it eventually. Also, I have not seen any cogs on the ship monitor UI when something was broken.
Thank you for theses kind words !
You would have been in the case where the Camera room have been broken first !
Then the cogs in the monitor, are not shown anymore !
Really like the space setting and the easter egg reference to han solo. Game took a second to learn but once i did it all came together and was super fun to play. Really enjoyed it! Great work!
Oh, thank you very much Zack. Even us were surprised that the tension and the required actions are quite demanding !
Very nice Game, I think it's a bit too zoomed out and the font is hard to read if there is no solid background. Pretty nifty and smart idea, reminded me a bit of FTL: Faster than Light. Which as good thing ;)
I ecountered some bugs. One time the alien wouldn't leave the room and I just needed to wait for the timer to run out. One time he was just walking in the upper floors and then suddendly I got the message that he escaped. Other than that pretty nice game :)
Unfortunately the 48h fix window is over, we will analyse it afterwards for sure.
Nice visuals and style, really fitting together. Somehow I was unable to lock any doors, what was I missing there?
From the Ship Monitor UI (Tab), you have to click on the button "PRESS" then the light goes red and the door is locked for 10 seconds :).
Overall this game is great, but when you replay the game basically doesnt work and i didnt understand how to fix the oxygen. But again this game is awesome.
Thank you !
Oxygen needs to be repaired in O2 room or Engine room. Press E while standing in the room.
The game is hard because you had do manage the doors and the repair in the same time !
Great job, loved the art style and concept!
There seem to be some glitch in the game where the monster did not walk through the door.
If the frog is "in" the door, it means he is destroying it ! Afterwards it will not be possible to control it again
Stunning sprites, amazing. The red-with yellow letters are not very readable though.
Gameplay is a little bit finicky: the monster glitched through the doors some times or doors could not be closed. One time, it just got stuck on a wall until the end.
Good job putting something together for this jam :)
I like the art a lot, the background is beautiful and the ship has many details. It took me some time to understand the game (the tutorial fades away too fast for me to have time to read it). But once I got it it was nice! But sometimes the frog gets stuck for the whole game.
Corrected for a screen to skip :).
Very nice sprites ! I really wanted to play but I however was not able to pursue because of the "spaceship moving background" that bothered me too much visually
Nice game, original concept, the graphics are excellent.
Congratulations,
Appreciated Leo.
The visuals are pretty cool. The goal of the game was a bit unclear.
Thanks for your feedback, we will take it into account after the jam ends.
I really loved the art style. Found it unique that you guys chose to do a mutant frog instead of a creature! The frog would get stuck a bit and took me a moment to figure out why id die from oxygen loss but overall really cool game!
haven't played FTL so it seemed quite new to me. I like the level design and the main idea of trying to contain a frog in a spaceship :) I was not able to make the game full screen on chrome but maybe I just couldn't find it. Overall pretty cool!
Thank you for your visit. Full screen is available now.
