"Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult." I have serious scientific issues with certain events in Act III of the story! ;)
Top marks. Really great use of Unity and some excellent humour thrown in.
Thanks for the kind words everyone! I've researched what would happen if you would actually try to go outside. Contrary what movies would suggest you won't bloat up with bulging eyes and than explode in a fine bloody mist. You could actually remain conscious for up to ten seconds and make a full recovery within 90 seconds! The more pressing scientific issues are of course why he wasn't just blown out of the airlock and how he could change his direction in space by just flapping his arms. Answer: Future technology!
For those interested, there is actually a backstory to the game. If I had some more time I would do the exposition in-game, but alas you will all have to do with this comment:
All our protagonist knows is that thousands of years ago the solar system was stricken by a horrible disaster. Mankind build a giant arkship to send a population to the nearest hospitable star system. As he wakes up due to a power failure he finds that all other pods are empty. The big question then becomes wether he was abandoned or if his fellow travelers are in dire need of saving.
I ran out of time when I finished the power failure part and never properly introduced the mystery of the missing people.
I really liked this, everything in the game felt like it fit together, even if the sound and graphics weren't the best ever. The representation of space as 3D was very clever. I like the backstory even if you didn't have time to include it, I hope you try to expand it one day.

Awesome work!
The 2d/3d-effect was brilliant, and I chuckled and the engine-noises :-)
I got impressed at the sudden change of perspective when going out the ship. It was very well done and loved the music and the reactor's sound effects. Great job!
Love it! The sound, graphics, graphical surprise, and especially the super calm music. Just right.

Great work, nice integration with Unity. The 2D/3D is great as mentioned before. Nice sound. If anything a little short story wise. But i know how hard it is in the 48 hours so that's fine. Hope you keep making entries in the future :)
