cool game XD

I really hope I can save any dinosaurs to boast my skills but I cannot save a single one :'D

at first I thought I could just spend many rockets at once but realized that it just make it impossible to manage the rocket

really fun game when you managed to understand how to play the game XD

Very cool premise! I guess the rocket isn't fueled by fossils. But I totally couldn't save a single dino, even after launching 100s! I have very poor rocket management skills. :P

Congrats on the game's release!

Heck this game looks so good. The second it opens and asks me if I want to be a T-Rex in a lab coat or a 4-eye triceratops. Amazing. I just really like the spray paint aesthetic too.

The gameplay's really good too. Such a good idea, and it comes together really well. It's fun at the start when you don't really know what to do, and then when you try to optimise it's a fun game of "I can probably ignore that gauge for 1 more second". Good stuff.

The frame rate really eats it when I mess up the gauge puzzle (I do this frequently), and I think the wire puzzle goes to being solved in 1 connection after the first time, until you mess up again. I also think window sizes would be good, since the stuff you have to click is pretty small.

Some people posted scores which I have taken personally. I definitely exploded some dinosaurs in this one tho.

Glad you enjoyed it! Many dinos have you to thank for saving them :) 
And yeah window sizes are definitely something we wanted ourselves by the end of it haha

I wish I could try this game on my android phone as the android symbol is here but couldn't make it work. Is there a specific action to do ?

Developer (1 edit)

Ah yeah that's our bad, we didn't end up making the port for Android. I will correct the page. It requires a few steps with the .love file, as described here: https://love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution

the year 2013... the place... a suburban high school's music wing... mandarin oranges stashed behind band trophy cases... the game: spaceteam! felt nostalgic playing this one. didn't love the spinning wheel mechanic, it was kinda annoying on track pad and took me a game of zero saves to figure out the mechanic properly. also the wiring panel seems to flip open a bit randomly for me. overall though I really enjoyed, and I think it's a great concept and art made by great people :))))

Definitely inspired by Spaceteam. Love that game

I like the idea, silly micromanagment...

I think if it was more happening at once it would have been funnier, especially because the cable connection one completes instantly as long as its the red one

10/10 Title

I managed to save 13K dinosaurs, took me a while to figure out what each dial did and that I could send them continuously, I didn't have to wait. I was very frantic by the end, super fun!

Developer

Yeah we didnt quite have enough time for a tutorial but glad you liked it!
