This would very much indeed make for a great movie, I haven't seen the idea of an end like this presented at much at all, and the worst part is that the event in this game will actually happen one day... well much slower than this game at least, but still.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and oh yeah, sorry about the dirty screen, maybe I should make it worse ;')

Never played his games before, but I am familar with him, especially Buckshot Roulette. It seems like I accidentally took inspiration from his style in this game without knowing it, ha.

Yeah, this game is pretty difficult and complicated, albeit I will add a difficulty option in the next update once this game jam is over that makes it so less parameters are taken into account and displayed, so you won't need to pay attention to as much details as you need about each planet. My friend who tested this said this was a very difficult game too, sorry about that, >:D.

I'm glad you enjoyed this game.

Overall, the theme here fits very well, and the idea has a fair amount of uniqueness to it. I really liked how you rotated around the planet, that was a very good detail and added well to the space element.

The gameplay is overall decent for a 7 day game jam and maybe I was confused at first, but a tutorial wasn't needed here since it's a very simple game.

The sun looks pretty good for the style, but the planet feels a bit lacklustre,  I could tell you used a equirectangular noise texture seeing the stretching at the poles, and I did notice seams on  the texture as well.

The sound is quite lacking in this game, apart from picking up the flowers. 

Overall, for the 7 days, it's a good game made in the time constraint and it fits well with the theme, I may be judging a bit harsher than most others here, especially with art since that's something I do a lot, however.

I did not originally plan to make a bit of a hard game at the start of this jam, but it looks like with this one, it would seem like it be that way. 

I made the controls in a way so it would focus less on the UI, but it might be a bit harder to adjust to since this game is a bit different.

The endings are actually based on the star sequence rankings, from M being the worst, and O being the best, or a black dwarf if you die from not making it to the end. (the irony here is that K would have you dead in this game, even though theories suggest that this star type would be the best for life)

I'm glad you enjoyed the game ❤️, even though I did not really have a friend test the game for me until near the end. I would have made a web port for this game, but the file sizes got a bit too big and I didn't know how to optimise the game in time.

Would other platforms also work as well? I have reached a little of an audience on Bsky, but most of my stuff hasn't included hashtags, which has probably limited my reach.

I've wanted to post some prototypes of games and art recently, and while I do have a bit of a following, I haven't gained a following that is dedicated. The only place where I do have an audience is on other people's Discord servers, but it doesn't help a lot since nobody cares who you are in those places. I think having a small following would be good to start off with when I do start doing bigger projects. I'm thinking starting a smaller project that I'm capable of doing without taking too much time can help. Horror games get a decent amount of views and while I do enjoy some of the games, that's just isn't my thing, and I would like to start building up some concepts, ideas, and characters, but it just doesn't seem like I would get a following by only presenting some original concepts and characters at this stage. What should I do about this?

I don't have much experience with the PS1, besides a couple a games like Silent Hill, but both options might work just fine. The low res one will likely be faster due to not rendering extra pixels, but I don't think it will make much of a difference in speed due to the style being low in system requirements.

The atmosphere tends to be pretty big for me. Instead of being scary at a few moments due to jumpscares, a good horror game gives the sense that you're not safe and makes you feel unsettled the entire time while playing it. Horror is obviously more complex than that, but most of the good ones I've seen have a good atmosphere and a good presentation.

The tutorial, although you don't have to (if it lets you). Though, I would, because you'll be way less confused if you play the tutorial first.
