Definitely a well designed game.
Really well done, planned, designed, executed, and completed. No discrepancies found needed to be pointed in this game.
Overall a nice simple game to play and learn. Amazing job done.
Great historical story here! Game play is fun
Awesome. For science!
Simply amazing. Perfect 5 stars on all categories from me!
One of my favorite games of the entire jam! It hits all the marks, the graphics, the tone, the sound effects, the history, it was amazing! Even the gameplay design was so well integrated into the historical aspect that it made me want to learn more about it! Great job! :3
My highest marks for your game, guys! It's my absolute favorite for this Jam.
You perfectly nailed it. The history of this rover, the accurate game mechanic simulating the challenges controllers back then were facing, the background music - I like it all! I was born in Eastern Germany, and I can remember that we were talking about this rover in school - and I had a book with some of the picture it took (maybe it was Луноход-2, can't remeber - doesn't matter...).
And on top of all these goodies - an easter egg! You guys rock!
Thank you for the kind words!
Omg this game is awesome! The interface, the audio... Honestly driving the rover was quite difficult at beginning, but I appreciate the realism of that and the accuracy. Congratulations, nice game :)
I am impressed by this game! The interface looked cool and it's such a nice idea, executed very well. I was annoyed by the slow input and thought something was wrong, until I realized you had to point the antenna to Earth. Very clever. Well done! :)
This is fantastic!!! I showed it to my wife who is a professional astronomer and she agreed it is amazing. She would love to use this in her teaching here in Ireland (kids 12-15).
She did say the earth is a bit too big - but its amazing otherwise.
And we found the hidden object which I won't spoiler here (Huge LOLs here when we found it).
Wow! That is awesome to hear. Obviously game is free to play for anyone!
The idea is really great ! It's pretty and sounds are cool ! But the controlling is quite hard, except that it's cool !
Incredible, great game
Really atmospheric and engaging, despite the controls being realistically clunky!
The clunkiness might have been mitigates a bit by placing the POIs closer together. Since the player has to make several complete turns regardless, this would not stop them from engaging with the antenna mechanic.
All in all a really cool experience though, well done!
Loved the decisions made on the audio here. The silent video feed and the spooky sound-mat was perfectly framing the scary silence of space. This cannot get less than a full five in theme and history from me - I think you embraced it perfectly.
I think "Gameplay" is the only area where I would score a bit less, only taking into consideration that as a game, the controlling of the rover quickly becomes a bit frustrating, all though accurate.
Good job! The presentation of this is so good. :D
Really enjoyed the clever remixing the medium of game with this historical event. It was very difficult (in a good way!)
