Interesting game ! It is quite hard to play at first until you learn to manage your ship.
I couldn't get a "real" victory but a posthumous one is enough right :D ?

Theme interpretation
The Last Voyage places the player in command of an incredibly ambitious project: take a massive spacecraft across the interstellar void in search of a new beginning for humanity.

I am very bad at this game, but it is well done. Great music, really set the tone of the bleak, last-ditch effort to save humanity. Spot on with the theme interpretation. Graphics were clean and polished. I loved the zoom effect, and the trajectory line was perfect for navigation.
I couldn't figure out how to scavenge correctly. I got right on the top of a derelict and it still said there was nothing in range. I couldn't find any habitable planets either, sadly. I ran out of fuel and presumably everybody died. This is so sad.
Honestly this whole experience of playing this reminded me of being a 9 year old again and playing and trying to figure out one of the many more technical games my uncle installed on our computer (Space Empires II, in particular, or this one weird Star Trek game my brother bought once that was very VERY simulation-y). There was always the feeling of there being more to discover if only I knew exactly what I was supposed to be doing. So it is sort of a nostalgia trip for me.
Overall a very cool game. I wish I was better at it. Might have to come back and try it again later.

BLOODMOONNice concept, minimalist, yet, interesting
Gameplay surprisingly complicated (in a good way) for such simply looking one!

Light AgainDriving the spaceship around was fun and those yellow dots help a lot, but I would speed up the game a bit maybe :-)

MoonarchistsI love the vibes here and the idea of setting out to find a new home for humanity. I think I need to spend some more time with this one. Too bad there wasn't a bit of a tutorial to introduce you to the various ship systems - I didn't notice some of the menu items for quite some time. But maybe this isn't the type of game for hand-holding?
If you like platformers, please try our game - Lumi and the Dark Night.

Lumi and the Dark NightReally liked the idea, although I find it too slow paced (maybe intented, I know) the music is great and fits really well with the collapse of humanity. I've yet to finish it, but good game overall, nice work!

MoonWitchesGreat game! Is the sound default off? I missed that and the music is really good, I would have that turned on by default for sure.

Comrade KokoOne of the best games I've played in this jam, I would honestly buy a more complete / fleshed out version if it came out. Some things I noticed: when hovering over fuel, resources, etc. the displayed % didn't update until i moved the mouse away and back to the resource. It would be nice to see them change real time. Also the mission logs isn't working I think? I would've also liked a clear visual indication which planet I had selected in a system. The movement mechanics and the atmosphere are simply amazing!

ADENIt uses localStorage to save, so if it’s aggressive with privacy settings saving in general won’t work (a warning for that is another future item). Does the game reload where you left off if you refresh the page mid game? If it does then something is wrong with Mission Logs. If it doesn’t your privacy or security settings prevent it from saving.
Love the minimalistic style. Great atmosphere you've managed to create here!

JoyRide GalaxyYou made this in a month?! Wow. Wow.
This is a fantastic game. On my first play-through, when I found I didn’t have enough hull integrity to make it back to a system with supplies, I was pretty downcast, both at ending it there and at not finding out what happened to the settlers I’d sent out. And, well, I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who’s yet to play, but I was honestly touched by how it actually ended.
This game is outstanding.
