First of all, I absolutely love the style of this game, the pixel art and retro-menus work super well in my opinion. Using the dungeon crawler movement to fly through space and control a space ship was really cool and unique. The atmosphere on the mining planet particularly was great as it left a spooky atmosphere just long enough that when things suddenly appear it pays off well. 

Only a couple of small bugs/oversights, dying to the final boss caused the projectiles to still be there in the ship leading to a few extra deaths, and after defeating the final boss it's not very clear what to do after that, I only found out by looking at this page you're supposed to go back into the ship afterwards. The game doesnt really do the whole looping thing very well as you just kind of go back out of the pod and can instantly just go back into it again as you still have the 3 warp crystals and if you go back into the ship it acts like you've just killed the final boss again.

I also felt the movement could be just slightly faster sometimes, not by much really just a little bit for the slower/tenser atmosphere you were going for here without making it feel like you're being weighed down.

Overall very good! I had fun with it and would be interested to see it expanded upon!

I got to travel in space.

I got to fight zombies.

I got to put three letters in order.

Excellent game.

I gave up when wandering around the eyeball room on planet Mustafar.

This was a cool entry. I dug the premise: waking up from cryosleep on an empty ship.

I liked your art style, as I’m a sucker for the pixel art/voxel aesthetic. The music and sound effects were good at setting up the mood. For some reason, the gun’s “pew” really tickled me, though.

The movement was really good, and the only weird thing I encountered was when I shot enemies on a diagonal, I’d turn to face them (45 degrees or so, depending on where they were), and then I was stuck in that direction until I turned, which fixed it.

Anyway, this was a really fun entry. Great job!

A lot of good ideas here, I love your concept! I like the low resolution pixel art a lot, and how you can explore space from your ship, head towards a planet and then explore it. The atmosphere was oppressive, I enjoyed that a lot too. You might want to pull back the camera a bit, because when you are directly facing a wall, it takes the whole screen and it can make orientation harder. I lost some time on the mining planet trying to orient myself in the dark/blinking section, but besides that, it was a very enjoyable playthrough. Great work!

Pretty cool. I’ve heard of Godot’s RPG in a Box but didn’t know it could be used for things like this. More content than I expected with the different planet tilesets, story, etc. The extra ship layer of Dungeon Crawler flight in space was something I haven’t seen before.

Had some bugs, and combat would be better served by some form of progression, but thankfully it was tuned a bit on the easy side so it didn’t stop me from seeing what else the game had to offer. Definitely would’ve preferred faster movement. Oh, and QE strafe turn controls really confuse my brain (though you’re not at all alone on that choice) so I strafed into lava a bunch of times, haha.

The artstyle of the game didn't appeal to me much but i respect your decision. The overall atmosphere is  pretty cool though. The eerie sci-fi music and ambience sound really enchances the atmosphere of the game. The galaxy map idea is a very ambitious and cool idea but you managed to execute it perfectly. I love how all three planets have distinct biomes and enemies. Inventory system works perfectly , so is the gridbased moving.  It fits the theme but getting stuck in an infinite loop made me feel that i didn't beat the game. The loop thing usually goes well with roguelikes but i think it's nice to do someting out of the usual formula sometimes.

A pretty solid entry to make in only 9 days. I salute you for your great work sir!

Edit: I encountered some bugs playing the game. One of them is you get an error message after you get the crystal in the lava planet. A console appears on top of the screen. The other one is i got stuck and had to restart the game after the hallucination when i first enter the lava planet.

Awesome vibes! The atmosphere is great, loved it. Felt on edge the whole time, even though in hindsight the actual enemies were rather simplistic and not much of a threat. I sadly only found one half of the new weapon, and I'm curious to know where the other half is and what it does :D

I love the story telling and the world you have created. I think the crawling of the lava and water world could be expanded a little, and that would be my main critique. Combat felt a bit weird with the camera snapping, which then stays in place until you rotate, but that's only a minor thing.

Also, when the game loops, the inventory and planets don't reset. Not sure if that's intentional or not. At first I thought there would be another twist coming when playing through it again, but on the mining world the puzzle wasn't reset so I checked the comments here to see if the game actually ended or not. So that's also something you could improve to make it more clear to the player.

Overall though, excellent game!

This is quite odd. I was planning to record the game play but when capturing with OBS the game hide the mouse cursor even if it’s visible in the recording: https://youtu.be/dxRqEWpZhe8

However, once I closed OBS and restarted the game I can see the mouse. So something really strange is happening with how your game runs.

Now to the game. I really liked the assets. Their extruded 3D but yet flat shape.

The movement was quite slow really, and while moving around of the ship I could walk inside lockers and basically come too close to the walls, it felt like. The camera should probably have been moved back a little bit and movement made much faster.

I played through the red planet. I suffered a bit of sanity because I figured it didn’t matter to insert a single of the signs first and then come back to solve it. But that apparently counted as attempting it with just one put in. The insert signs UI also kept popping up all the time afterwards as I was running around interacting with things.

Speaking of, I honestly got a bit too lost. It would have been nice with some map or having the layout be a bit less complex.

A very small thing, after solving the riddle the thing disappears but it’s still there blocking movement.

I though I could just press the return to ship button there and then, but I wasn’t allowed. Which made me think OK I have to find my way out. And promptly got lost in 10 minutes trying to get out.

When out of the cave I though I could press it to go home then. But no. And by then I think in my mind I gave up on that button walked back to the ship and flew to the next planet. And it’s only now that I realize that the button might have been for when on the ship to be able to walk around in the ship again. If that’s the case, it should probably not be called “Return to ship”.

The next planet I landed on, I should say I had no sanity or health damage. I took some steps and then the screen turned black with some eyes all over it. It seemed I could still move, but I had no idea where and whatever I did I seemed stuck in the black eye things so I gave up there.

It feels like a pity because there seems to be a whole lot of systems in the game, and I liked the art style. So if only the movement had been a bit snappier and the situation I ended up in a bit more understandable, I would have kept at it.

I probably spent 30-40 minutes in total though.

Nice great game! It has a great eerie feeling to it and nice sound and music implementation. Graphics is simple but looks nice. I like that there is various biomes to explore.

I somehow lost one of the runes while trying to move them between containers.

Got an error when trying to go back to the first red planet to look for the third crystal.

[Error in put_entity (Red Planet - Lab Preload): Invalid entity.] 

After killing the three cosmic horror entities their health bar was still there with a small amount of hp showing. After returning to the cryo chamber the game seems to restart in the same solar system, but as I understand you know this already.

Tiles are a bit small but it works. Movement could be a bit more snappy and/or queue up next input.

The game was a fun experience to play! Good job!

I loved the game's aesthetics, especially the way you did the cables. The UI and menus where nice and grabbed my attention. The game's scope surprised me, it felt massive for a jam title! The atmosphere, especially on the first planet, was fantastic. It got creepy at times too, which kept me on my toes. Flying between planets added a nice layer of immersion, and the story clearly shows a lot of effort was put into it. Overall, while i do think that some systems could of been refined a bit more,  I still found myself really enjoying this entery! nicely done.
