Had a "blast" playing your game, the art was awesome and I really enjoyed going up, down and all around trying to keep things fixed! But the best part was throwing those poor innocent passengers out like that! Well done, great job!
Glad you liked it! I like to assume they're happier out there, drifting through the cold unforgiving blackness of space...
Pretty fun and very difficult!
Thanks! We may tone down the difficulty a bit in the future, but it definitely makes you feel out of control. Glad you liked it!
We seem to have both gone for a similar idea of repairing a space vehicle but executed in very different ways :) I like the style and the panic of "I've just fixed one thing and now another's broken" you've got going on with yours! And the gameplay in general, very well done, great job! :)
Thank you! Maybe things would stop breaking in our ship if we had a pug around...
Haha maybe the trip on our spaceship would crash less if we had an onboard mechanic rather than a little pug doing his best 😂
Overwhelming at first, but fun once I got the hang of it! Overall awesome job getting this done, very polished for a game jam!
Thank you! I think a future update is going to adjust the difficulty curve a bit so it's not so chaotic right off the bat. Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun game! Love to see both humor and a "jettison passengers" button in a jam game. I never felt like I was ever completely on top of everything I needed to do, felt a lot like MAKING a jam game in that sense :D
Thank you! Maybe that was subconscious... It definitely feels that way!
Discovered a bug with the latter sometimes sending u off the screen, but its a jam game so who cares? The artwork is amazzinggggg but it felt overwhelming when i first started the game. Overall amazing!
Oh wow, I haven't had this happen yet! We'll definitely look into that. Do you remember what you were doing when it happened? And thanks for the kind comments! We had a lot of fun making it - we plan to have the difficulty ramp up a bit slower in the future :)
I was going down the ladder on the far left, and then i was also moving left and then i just fell of the map in the corner. I dont think its much so its fine. But nice to see that all of you had fun making it! Cuz jams are for fun not always the prizes and the ranks.
That's a nice game! The idea is very nice, you have a nice presentation. You made a very good job. Keep creating games!
neat game. it sucked having to go all around to pick the tool. spent some time playing it again and again
Awesome concept. I agree that the gameplay is a little difficult to figure out, but once you get it it's super fun! Very clean and well done. If you have time, please check out my entry :D
pretty and cute :). i like the concept. we thought about similar ideas and went another direction, but you did a great job.
Its a fun game. It gets hectic when you have to juggle all the tools and different machines. The music gets annoying when hearing it constantly though.
Yeah that definitely makes sense. Music was the one element we didn't have time to make ourselves. We'll be replacing it after voting closes. Thanks for taking the time to play it!
This would make for a great local multiplayer game. I recommend that you continue the development! Very cool!
It was a little difficult to understand what was going on at first, but I could see that there was a lot of thought in the mechanics put into the game. It's really interesting and I thought the art style was great. Nice work!
Thanks! We've added more in-game instruction since submitting. We're planning to update after voting for the jam closes. Thanks for playing!
I'll be sure to check it out once the update goes live!
I felt it a bit difficult, but was quite fun.
I feel like all this game needs is a tutorial, and a bit more logical ramp in the difficulty with a clear goal in mind.
This reminds me of FTL in a good way. You did a great job of conveying the feeling of things spiraling out of control.
The art for this is really cute and it's a neat concept! Reminds me a lot of "Oxygen Not Included".
Art was awesome loved the movement and easy controls. I agree that it was a tad bit confusing at first but very self explanatory after u get the hang of it! awesome job and design
Thanks! We're hoping to add some clearer instructions and maybe a tutorial after the jam.
So this is how bus in Fortnite works:D
Actually great idea. It was very confusing at firs. I didn't see my own character! Maybe I'm too sleepy, or maybe needed to highlight it somehow, maybe by color or camera movement.
Anyway, i definitely liked it.
Thank you so much for playing! And that's great feedback. We'll make sure to make it super clear where the player is in future iterations!
(Also, lol at the Battle Bus!)
COOL GAME, the art is awesome
Thank you! We had a blast making all these crazy little machines.
