Goal: Keep at least one crew member alive and not insane until the destination is reached.
How to play:
If a crew member turns yellow he is sick. Move him to a room containing the medical table (green room) or chemicals (blue room). Failure to do so may result in death.
If a crew member turns blue he is depressed. Move him to a room containing a sleep chamber (red room) or chemicals (blue room). Failure to do so may result in insanity.
Chemicals are not as effective as a medical room or sleep chamber.
If a crew member turns a dark grey color he is hungry. Eventually he will die.
If an engine malfunction occurs place a crew member at the yellow tiles next to the back of the ship until it is fixed.
If a navigation malfunction occurs place a crew member at the yellow tiles next to the front of the ship until it is fixed.
Failure to fix a malfunction adds days to the total travel time.
Meteor strikes may occur if weapons are not chosen. These damages cannot be fixed.
i really liked this! i did have trouble keeping track of which character was feeling what once i swapped them around a bunch. i hope you expand on this because i think it could turn into something really neat.
"Porting […] can happen after the initial 48 hours. The longer you wait though, the less of a chance other participants will have to play your game."
I wond despite one dead crew member, one hungry, one insane, and an engine malfunction. I had trouble figuring out the gameplay (I still don't know what I'm doing or who has what affliction), but I really love the concept!
The game is pretty basic, but even so it manages to create some pressure, I managed to get to the end with with one dead, one insane and one depressed! Some sound would have added greatly to the mood... Even if in space, no one hears you scream...
