Did you work in a team?
Just one person.

Was the resolution a challenge?
Low-res is OK for me. Next time I will do even lower!

What did you learn?
The main aim was to test my basic game engine, especially the browser version which uses web assembly and SDL. So I'd appreciate feedback if it runs ok!

Great implementation. Especially the indicator was a great help but I discovered it only later. Congratulations on the game.

I think this game deserves a lot more attention. It is a nice touch that how spaceship's shadow changes around the object geometry. Also the dialogue is amusing, felt like I was in one of Douglas Adams' books. Controls were a bit hard to get used to and I got lost after the point where I was trying to find the office space.

Thanks for the comments! Yeah the office space mission is the trickiest, if you can find the very large pyramid south of Roboland, then head directly north east from that over the sea and you'll find the station. On the map the pyramid is below the right leg of the A in "Roboland". In retrospect I totally agree about the controls, it's actually version 2, it used to be worse!

This is REALLY cool! The writing was funny and I loved the enemies that look like classic Space Invader dudes, very nice touch!

Yeah, your engine seems to run great on my mid-range Win 10 system through Chrome 84.4147.125 (64-bit). Fun game too, great use of the a minimalist theme.
