How does your game match the theme?
In a warship in space, a communications blackout is put in place to prevent the enemy from intercepting and potentially locating the warship. The Cadet is utilizing an unmanned drone to send love letters to their love on their home planet. Our drone physically travels the galaxy to fully embody the space theme for GBJAM11, for not only does it traverse a vast and inky black void but slowly does the distance of the trip grow - placing more and more space between the lovers.

Really nice game, love the soundtrack and the visuals!

Lovely atmosphere, and the space gameplay was tight, if a bit long.

Nice presentation, congrats!

Good game. I like the sprite work & the music. It has a lot of Gameboy Soul with the choppy animations. 

Here is a list of areas that could be improved:

Improvements:

  • Change font
  • Add full screen to Executable
  • Make levels shorter/Add more obstacle variety

Love the music, I was bopping to the title theme for a fat minute. I really like the cozy vibe of the first room, the (also bopping) music and the wholesome letters. I do however think that it's a bit disjoint, and I think it might have been beneficial to lean into one idea or the other (comfy room vs space shooter).

Overall nice work, looking forward to seeing your team pop up in future jams :)

EDIT: Oh! and the sfx on the menu buttons were a lovely gameboyey touch :)

Thank you so much! Will keep that in mind! (And our music guy is shedding tears at your words)

Fun first game you made here.  The first opening scene threw me off when it went into the regular game mode, was unexpected.  Thought I was going to be playing some sort of walking or pokemon game until it got into shooting.  LOL
