Notes from gameplay:

- Nice robot "speech" - subtitles for this (maybe some sort of robot UI) would be helpful. Can't really understand what it's saying sometimes

- I may have broken movement by alt-tabbing, I'm just seeing arrows show up on the left hand side when I hit buttons. Restarting

- Ah, I see, I was blocked by a rock. 

- Interesting UI, took me a second to get the hang of it, but I like it. It's emulating driving a bot on Mars!

- Atmospheric sounds and visuals

- laser sound is nice

- ooh spooky static! I saw someone!

- where did they go?

- turning feels hard to navigate, feels like it turns more than 90 degrees per button press sometimes

- hmm, am I supposed to rescue these humanoid shapes I see?

- unsure if I'm doing this right, I think i'm going in circles

- connection lost

This feels like a very interesting conceptual prototype! I had fun navigating the maze.

This was a fun little game!  I wasn't sure on the controls at first but it actually makes sense in the context.  Having to actively evade enemies definitely would have been a fun add-on but overall I think this is a great game given the time constraints.

Good game! The simplicity of it gives a nice atmosphere and keeps it very mysterious.

Thanks for playing! Glad the atmosphere worked for you :)

Awee that was really creative :)  Feels like a older horror game where the controls a against you too but this is perfectly justified by controlling a rover! Thought it was conceptually very good but think it needed a bit more... Maybe having to evade some of the ghosts would of been cool as you panic to load commands into the rover as the ghost slowly walks towards you?  Great work though :)

Appreciate you playing!  Yes, in the end I'm decently happy with how the movement feels, but then you don't really get to do anything interesting with it. Time constraints led to game play not getting fleshed out more. If did it over again I would prioritize more interesting gameplay. Thanks for the feedback!
