How does your game fit the theme?
You are a lone robot sent down to a colonizable planet by the Human species, your goal is the sustain the ecosystem by planting seeds and adding foliage to the planet, your health is conjoined with the Mothership that holds all the humans (you need to send them oxygen that you produce from plants in order for them to survive, if they run out of oxygen, it means no more seeds or dirt bags, no progression, no colonization.)

Fun concept! Trying to locate what the Mothership drops is kind of difficult given the randomness, it would be nice if there was some kind of hint as to where it would land? Overall it was a bit confusing but the visuals have such a wonderful and cohesive style to them (the growth of the plants especially looked nice), and the music engages with a good sense of urgency. Nice work!
Really interesting idea and great presentation! Kinda challenging but a lot of fun, great job!
Very original concept! Although as others have said, the mechanics are not very clear and it would help if they were explained better. Other than that good job!
Probably one of the most unique games I've seen in this jam. How cool.
Really nice game! The art is incredible and it's amazingly polished for a 48h jam.
I kind of feel weird how the oxygen meter moved while playing, like if it was not really easy to understand the relationship between putting new plants in terms of costs/benefits (and which is probably the key to play decently hah).
Anyway, it's a great submission, congrats!
Very nice! The art was very impressive, one of the best games from the jam visually. The idea was also quite good, although I never quite understood fully all of the mechanics (I think), even though I beat it. I could see you're trying to keep some kind of balance and that the plants give the planet some oxygen, but I couldn't see a very obvious correlation (the planet's oxygen increased seemingly at random to me). I also wasn't sure why you had two types of plants and enough soil for all of them. I'm guessing one takes longer to grow but then provides more oxygen, or something like that, but it wasn't too clear. Obviously these are all things that are hard to get right in 48 hours, so don't take it badly, I'm just providing constructive (I hope) criticism :)
Either way, this was really impressive and I think it has loads of potential, keep at it!
Really nice game. It took me a while to work out how to locate the capsule (the answer is “press C”), and once I figured that out I could save the astronauts. The “how to play” sheet in game was extremely useful. For 48 hours, this game has a surprising amount of polish. Good job everyone.
Amazing art, and a really fun game to play! Probably one of my favorite games of the jam so far.
Really awesome art! All the information is super overwhelming though, it would have been great if you'd introduced each aspect one-by-one to kind of ease the player into it
100% agree! Unfortunately I realized that a smidge too late into the jam, so we ran out of time for a proper tutorial.
Thank you so much for the feedback and the compliment!
Very fun game. It has a very cute artstyle. The overwhelming amount of information dumped when i pressed tutorial was very jarring. Maybe you could incorporate that into the gameplay itself because I kept misremembering things from the tutorial.
This is probably the most common bit of feedback we get for this game, so thank you for sharing! If we were to do a post jam version, a tutorial would be top of the list. :)
Had a blast playing! The design lends itself really well to adding in new mechanics and problems to solve. Would love to see more, great job!
Thank you! It was a really fun, if ambitious, game for the jam. It certainly could be expanded on, and I'm glad you had a fun time playing it!
Amazing game, has some in depth mechanics and plays almost like a strategy game. Well done for making this in 48 hours.
good job. really nice and interesting game
Really complete game for such a time frame. The concept is really cool and can make a real commercial out of it. Nice job
the game looks so beautiful. You have a talent to produce such art in such a short space of time. Well done, nice game
The art and music are exquisite, 10/10 presentation. I have no idea how the play the game though, it feels way too complicated for a game jam and I can't figure out how to collect oxygen with the spacebar. The work is obviously there, the game just needs to be simplified. I'm also not too sure this follows the theme, your explanation feels a bit convoluted.
nice game. my plants kept dieing though.
Game looks beautiful and is really polished. the gameplay loop doesnt feel too satisfying though. great game overall!
Awesome game, its insanely polished! Nice music and good gameplay. Only thing missing is that it would be nice if I could zoom out. But the game itself is awesome!
Really neat little game, the art and presentation is really goo. The gameplay was pretty fun too but it's reaaaaally hard to understand how to play even with the how to play page.
I wish the game would encourage you to really explore the planet a little more though.
Overall really solid especially the graphics (and the catJAM D&B beat 👌)
