I love the low poly esthetics ! The game is pretty enjoyable too, but a bit too hard to my taste, resources are so scarce that I have no idea how could be possible to explore the whole map without dying, I barely reached one side. Maybe the blue orbs could give more than one unit of fuel ?
This problem of balance put aside this game is really cool, I would definitely play it on easy mode !
Thanks for playing! Yea I will definitely tweak some of the gameplay elements for a better balance.
Great game, love the visuals alot!
There were a few bugs that prevented me from finishing my playthrough, a lot of which you have already mentioned as well as one where I couldn't collect a satellite part on a planet that had an hp resource. I also think the fuel system isn't super well done, especially considering how little of it you get (the blue orbs should definitely cover more than just the trip to the planet imo) but that may have only been an issue due to bad luck on my end.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Balancing issues are a thing... And yea the bug you mentioned is also a known one. I'm sorry that I couldn't deliver a more polished bug free version of the game. I really have liked for you guys to enjoy the game as intended. But I will get back to it once the rating period is over.
Woah, this blew me away!
The whole art and visuals look so amazing! The sound design is also very good. Big fan of how the game plays out as well, really chill and clicking your way through everything feels smooth. The only problem I see is that it doesn't really follow the "don't stop" theme of the jam. Other than that, absolutely stunning, great job!
Thank you so much for letting me know! Yea, The idea of the game struck me a day before the theme was released so I was going for trying to make it juicy instead. Thank you for playing!
Really cool game. I did not get what exactly i have to do except exploring planets and not die. When i find the satellite's tools i do not see where they go. But it was really fun exploring and organizing the spaceship path ^^
Thanks! Yeah the UI that shows how many parts you have collected is bugged out. For anyone else wondering there are 4 parts scattered around the map. Once you collect one you can return to the space station to repair it. The goal is to fully repair the station with all 4 parts.
The visuals and audio blew me away right away! I would've liked to have seen a bit more screen shake and other juicy things :) I was also confused as to what I was doing and why to some extent and I wished there was more to the don't stop attribution. As it is, if I don't go anywhere nothing happens and I feel like this was a missed opportunity for theme adherence and maybe even more juiciness. Overall, this game wowed me as soon as I opened it! Well done :D
Thanks so much for trying it out and the kind words! I was hoping the tutorial made the mechanics easier to understand. I will continue development soon!
Awesome game! I love games about space and strategy games. I wasn't able to beat the game though, and it might take me a few tries. I definitely love the opening cut scene of the space ship flying by, and there's a lot of polish here. The only comments I have though, is that when I try to restart the level, the music starts playing twice and I'm not able to click anything. I have to close the game and restart. Also, when I run out of fuel and am stranded out somewhere, but still have no health, the game doesn't auto end.
Outside of those concerns, this is really great game, and I'm impressed your team finished this in a week.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! Yea these are known bugs, and sadly there are even a few more. Unfortunately I didn't manage my time very well as I got closer to the deadline. I'm really disappointed about those and I'm planning to correct them.
Is that not the life of a game jam programmer, running out of time to fix bugs 😂? Either way, I'll be following this project and will play it again if it ever gets an update! Great work!
