Talking points of your game
My game is a cool, 2-d survival concept game, where death actually gives you progress by making items easier to get! You are an astronaut trying to make a self-sustaining colony on the moon, except it is impossible to do so at the start of the game. You can always go back to earth when your supplies run low, but then NASA won't give you any more goodies. If you die, you become a martyr and they give you lots more resources, to the point that after a couple deaths, self-sustaining colonies are possible.

This is still a work in progress and probably will not win anything because of the bugs. I had an unexpected family event so did not get to put as much time into this as I hoped, but will submit this to later "improve" jams.

Very nice game. Both survival and roguelight..?

 For me the game does not leave the menu, but unfortunately I could not play, I saw the concept that wanted to pass through the legend and I think it would be cool to play something like that.
