i will review only based on a tiny gameplay because my mouse didn't work in horizontal direction.

but visuals and sounds pretty stunning, i loved the noise grain effect. and VO is a big surprise for such small game.

hope to get back when its fixed

Developer

God i hate puzzle games xD But i actually did some on your game. Been fun ;) I love the voiceacting you did. Ppl allready said at some point you might wanne get a skip option, but beside that, i can imagine that puzzle ppl love the game :D

Great job on the Spaceship as well. Feels very original.

Developer

Ahh thank you sm! Yes, I agree! :)

I liked the game over all, and its escape roomy feel, but a little more explanation would have gone a long way, on almost all the puzzles, but especially the power supply puzzle.  I ended up playing for quite a while, and had quite a lot fun! You all are clearly talented, but I think play testing would have gone a long way.  Also, I was able to type in the password in the first room even when I wasn't on the monitor.

Thanks for your feedback! :)

Bugs/Fixes
-Game does not pause in game.

-When i failed the panel and kept on walking for some reason the panel still got typed on.


Nice!

.Nice camera smoothness.

-Music is so nice in the menu especially


Hard to understand/finnish game because of...

-I never understood what the blue dots on the Numpad ment...

-also i Almost understood what the panel password ment but it was also too hard for me to get.

I got tierd for the Ai speaking alot i wanted to skip it and not be forced to listen to the same dialogue every time xD

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!! Yes, the blue dots were kinda hard to understand. But we have a playthrough now! :) Maybe this will help out.

robot. Well done to all of you, the vibe is really captivating, you could really feel the atmosphere of loneliness in this station. I would love to see this game expanded. The humor with the glados-like AI was also great.

For the gameplay, I had a weird issue where I couldn't move the camera horizontally (it worked only if I looked at the ceiling), which sadly impacted my experience playing.

Noneless I really appreciated the atmospheres and the puzzles. I would also have liked a hint for the first key pad, as I didn't think I would get hints at each incorrect guess. I thought I just had 6 tries in total, and if I failed it would be game over.

All in all, I had a wonderful time, and ended up playing more than I expected to. Great job!

Developer

Congrats! Yes, sadly for some people the camera movement has a bug. But it's amazing that you played it until the end! Thank you for your feedback :)

It is a really neat and interesting game in the first place. First the goods:

+ nice theme and environment
+ cool spaceship and artstyle
+ neat little puzzles
+ spacy music and fits the environment

Now the low parts:

- first two puzzles:  

  • the safe-puzzle does missing a little hint with the blue points, without help, it is just guessing
  • the arabic-puzzle part is in the first place a very good idea, but inserting the password part could be more refined. e.g. if the Book is like a mirrored text (left english, right arabic), you could use this as hint for inserting the password (left insert and right arabic text

- the music is too short and very repetetive, it could been a little longer and have more variation to it, if it is just one song for one run
- no collision on some 3D-Objects

But overall, I had my fun time with it :D and i found it fair to give some improvement ideas from my side and dont leave it short like the good parts :)

To clearify the good parts are short but had also good impact. And for a short game, I had a good time :D

robot - Nice little puzzles. Very admusical with the style and the music. A hint for the KeyPad would have been good. At first I thought that ALL entries should result in the PIN. I definitely had fun. But i'm also a puzzle guy. Doesn't suit everyone.
