Thanks so much for the compliments and for the feedback! I can happily say that there is actually a way to solve the final 2 puzzles without guessing, however I clearly need to do a better job at hinting that as you are far from the only one to struggle there.
If there's one thing I could complain about, its the fact that the camera makes it quite difficult to see where you're going because it trails behind. It makes it too easy to accidentally walk into those death points, resetting your progress.
Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback! I also really like the idea of having dialog. I was even considering having an AI on the ship (similar to Hal and Dave from A Space Odyssey) that the player would talk to to feed the player some backstory, but didn't because that would obviously take a ton of time. But you've made me consider continuing this game further. Also, nice catch with the embarrassing typo. 😳
This is my greatest fear as a developer lol. Perhaps a hint if you want to give it another try: You need to match the stars in the bottom to look like the stars in the window.
As for your game, it looks fun! I will 100% check it out by this weekend.
For the sake of saving you time, I've added a cheat button. If you are short on time, or just bored of the repetitive puzzles, press 1 on your keyboard to automatically solve!
I couldn't read most of the signs because the text was the same colour as the background, also a little difficult to get through the trees as you can't see the hitboxes. But very nice visual style.
Between the charging, aiming, moving, other character moving, collecting batteries, dodging rocks, collecting hearts, and trying not to accidentally click off the window, there is a slight information overload. But the slow motion + combos + sound effects are extremely satisfying.
Very charming and responsive. We had some issues where bricks fell through us in the multiplayer version. I suggest adding a thumbnail to the itch.io project so people don't miss this gem.
