Plot: You have been scammed by the spaceship seller. Try to reach the earth with that wreck.
Controls: FPS-Controls. Use left mouse to interact.
Tips: Do not die. Do not destroy your Ship. Watch the heat meters and adjust the workload accordingly (there might be fires). Higher workload = higher energy consumption. Watch the energy and oxygen meters. Watch the target offset (should be 0,0).
Other: YAY, it's my first submission and actually my second "finished" (read: playable) game overall. Whoop whoop!
Tweaking all these values required more work than I expected so I had to cut a few systems to have enough time to get those in the game working. Maybe I'll keep working on this thing. We'll see.
And as I progressed I got carried further and further away. So I put that little dialog in the begging. The player wants as many spaceships as possible, but the spaceship seller gives him only one. A faulty one.
It's a little bit sneaky but there was no way back. I found the theme to be really tricky.
Wow ! I love it, really nice concept, best game I played so far. Great job ! Very good use of the minimalist graphics. Really interesting game. The little vader is funny ;)
Fun concept and nice execution, sweet Vader bobble head =P It was crazy trying to balance everything the ship needed, especially just being thrown into the middle of. Nice work, can't wait to see what's in the back of the ship!
Awesome! Also I suck at it. But the game is great.
Graphical style = excellent. Music is cool. Could do with some sound effects too though. Maybe just one for when things catch fire, and a clicky one for the buttons.
Very good entry. Loveley presentation. And the gameplay was interesting, although I was not good enough to make it to the end. (I blame it on Little Vader whom I instructed to watch the oxygen levels. But he didn't seem to care.)
The frantic moment of randomly pushing buttons in hopes of them actually helping was really awesome. I did have trouble finding out what to do without some guidance, since I tried to play it without reading your description first, especially the "offset" part.
Pretty cool, I loved the hectic management of the on-board controls. I seemed to keep dying really easily, without getting anywhere near the earth, oh well. Was really fun! Good job!
Awesome game. The concept is just so much fun. I find it hard to extinguish stuff. It would've been nice if you had put a fire extinguisher into the ship which I need to grab before I can extinguish stuff. But it works like it is and I would really love to see you keep working on it :)
I kind of liked the fact that there wasn't a sound effect for the fires popping up. It made it a lot harder, but it led to a few "AHHH!!" moments when I turned around and realized that there was a huge fire I had to run and put out haha
Really cool game, I liked the environment and simplicity of it. Definitely challenging to manage it. The 'music' was a little distracting; I think something more atmospheric might have worked (for me) better. Good job overall.
I guess I shouldn't have made it that hard. I actually found it quite easy while playtesting so I made it a little bit harder before submitting. I think I shouldn't have done that.

I appreciate the idea of a first-person resource management game. I'm left wishing this was more complicated/involving though.
Great touches, like the bobblehead darth vader on the dash. Got sooo close, but didn't make it. The offset adjustments sometimes won't let you get all the way back to zero, but other than that, the controls worked as expected. I was expecting the hamster machine to work the oxygen, the offset to work the energy etc. Luckily it wasn't that insanely difficult. :D
I'm still confused about how the game actually works - the relationship between the choices you make and the outcomes aren't clear. Otherwise, great concept, funny game.

I really enjoyed the frantic back and forth gameplay, though the whole thing feels like as a player I only make things worse.
Where does "You only get one" come in here?
