Wow... what an experience, thank you for making it. It's very impressive that you made it with console only. I got used to the controls very quickly. It's a bit repetitive towards the end, yes, but it's understandable. I was in a similar situation where I had to choose between simplifying things or missing the deadline. :) If you spice up the endgame with a few more "side-quests" like you did with the water meter then I think you're set. But the game is already great. Well done!
PS: Loved the "PS-GJ24" planet name. :)
