How nice it would be if here could be some BGMs! Your game have nice tone and have a good theme, btw I also want to build a space related game at beginning of this jam I am interest in this aspect.

The art style is super beautiful well done! I struggled a bit to understand what to do, maybe a guided tutorial at the beginning would have help 😁 Well done!

Loved the visuals. Beautiful, creative work!

I liked the idea of the gameplay, but struggled a lot to understand it. I gave up and returned twice before figuring out even part of what was going on. I do think there's potential in the idea, if you plan to keep developing it. I would personally enjoy it more if there was an additional effort to communicate the mechanics and perhaps mitigate some of the randomness. (Once I had all five colonists get dystentery on the first turn before I could do anything, which admittedly did make me laugh.)

I found the font pretty hard to read, which sounds minor, I know -- but it did impact my appetite to engage with all the stats, which seemed like the core of the game.

Definitely interesting, though. Thank you for letting me play it!

Takes a little bit to understand what you're doing, however whether you're messing around trying to find out how everything works or trying to survive as long as you can, it's a blast to mess around with. Great game!

kinda cool, good humor, gameplay reminds me of Reign
might wanna remove the film grain effect tho, at least from the interface

Developer

wait, does the film grain appear everywhere?

It should only appear on the character's portraits, and it worked fine in every device I have tested, and everyone I know who has played it.

Nice game! It's really fun to try maintain the balance between limited resources and population.

However, it would be a nice addition to somehow make population grow more if there are many empty pods. After quarantines and ejections a lot of empty pods are left and you only get one person per new pod.

Like the visuals :-)
I had a lot of quarantine and was hard to understand at start, but then it is fun to do a bigger ship.
It was incredibly hard to avoid running out of food tho.
Graphics are really good !

The game looks beautiful and the gameplay is very compelling. It would be good to get more info on which of your crew are sick as I lost all of my electricians without noticing.

The gameplay is understandable actually its easy and engaging in the last ludum dare I tried to make something similar -spacepunk 48 if you wish to check it out- but your colonist with pod mechanic is better and makes more sense also increase the variety you even add achievements wow even tho they do not disappear completely it was a nice touch and has humorous names really liked it, congrats!

pretty good but it got boring really fast

Really nice job with the graphics! Sadly I did not really understand the gameplay, so I lost pretty much instantly.
