THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE VOTES AND MY GAME’S GREAT SCORE!!!!

Congratulations to all entries and to those who took the time to vote in so many games!

I was really not expecting my game to be noticed in this jam (Impostor syndrome) and getting the reception it had but, now looking at the numbers that came from you, I’m totally impressed!

Thank you!

The itch’s voting thing needs a lot of work and maybe in the future will be less of a problem.. Maybe one solution is itch to allow by default custom voting systems, for those who want to be responsible for the calculations, want to implement special rules and know how to program math! (system needs to be set before voting starts and transparent to the voters)

Back to the results - Accounting to “the purge” my game’s best scores are:

Overall: 8

Game Design: 4

Art Direction: 4

I’m really happy with the numbers… really, really happy! You made my year! THANK YOU!!!

Thank you to all of you who played, voted and commented my game. This was a great and funny week!

INCREDIBLE GAME! Loved the amount of detail in the artwork, the soundtrack and sound fx, the realistic transmission of information in radio. It was very immersive experience. Absolutely loved it.

I loved this! Very interesting implementation of the connection theme and the gameplay was fun! I also like the artstyle a lot! Excellent work!

Outstanding...the music, the art, the tutorial step by step, the idea, the UI! , mostly everything.

For me, it is incredible how someone can think and execute a game like this in just 10 days.

CONGRATS!

Great art style,great atmosphere,good music and SFXs

Amazing job!

Great game. There a neat atmosphere with the right music, and sounds effects. Even the button press feels concrete. Well done.

this is something different!

An amazing game, thoroughly enjoyed it! The art is stunning as well as all the animations. I have found a bug though - after I failed a mission, upon the restart the Rover disappeared from the map and I couldn't locate it at all. Other than that, well done!

Fantastic work on this. Reminded me of Duskers, and a great use of the theme.

I did encounter a bug where I would go into some menu, like get the menu to recharge, then come back into the game to find the rover had jumped several squares over. This only happened a couple times, but the last time was to off the screen, and then I crashed into some rocks.

Really great work on your game. Love the art.

I loved it, nice mood, SFX and score fits well with the art direction. Again great work!

Super polish! The visuals and the UI are really good, sound design is crisp, this doesn't seems like a game from a gamejam. Great work! 

Super unique kind of game. I see you went with the theme application of connecting to the goal through the journey. It was really neat how the game was setup as taking the role of a mars rover operator with the full equipment and everything. 

I did run into a bug where the text box covered my character so I had no idea where it was until I tried moving around multiple times. I also got kind of confused when I was only able to use one 'execute' per round as I got deeper into the game, and then I realized that need to be doing multiple adds and one execute, which I think is a little confusing at first but clever, because it adds tension to the gameplay.

I would suggest adding more elements to mix it up, like enemies that shoot projectiles that move one square each time that you move one square, or portals that transport you from one location to another.

I worked on this game for the global game jam that was also about a mars rover, in case you are interested: https://globalgamejam.org/2022/games/superpositioned-4. It has the portal mechanic I am talking about as well.
