Pluto

If you have a play of Pluto, please let me know how you found it!

I wanted to get the balancing spot on but I didn't have time to test it to it's limits!

This is fun! The music lends a great ambiance.

Question, is there any benefit to multiple orbital storages?

Hey!

I didn't add the option for multiple Orbital Storage stations as the random events made just having one challenging enough. All it does is allow the use of the import buttons for food and tools.

Oh wow! That was awesome! The style is just spot on. And the music, I'd love to know how you made it. Just really well done. This is my first LD, and just seeing things like this, what people can do in 48 hours is awesome.

You asked about balancing. My first game ended quickly, as I ran out of food very quickly. I was still trying to figure out how everything worked, but that's fine. After that, I focused on building farms. I could turn food into tools, and once I got that going, I had a surplus of food always ready to go. Not sure if that's intended, but as long as you have lots of food, the game becomes just a matter of time, even with the diseases. I barely noticed them.

So my second game took 47 days with 0 deaths, 10100 food gathered with 4700 tools gathered.

Still, awesome game!

The idea is good, the atmosphere is amusing and the concepts are simple, but I ran into some confusion while playing it the first time.

Btw the link to the source code is broken, I only get the result "Not Founde - Error 404".

Love the strategy elements of this game! It was a little difficult, but I eventually won, so the difficulty is just fine, even with the random events. The music is exceptional, reminds me of the uncertainty of living on the edge of the solar system. Wonderful game!

Nice game, I managed colonize Pluto! Once i got the import station thing up it got kinda easy though. The music really brings up the mood, well done!

ps. I made a Pluto game too :D

I really love the interface style, it looks great :D I was a bit confused the first time I played, but then I really got into it! Had to sacrifice some colonists by starving them at the beginning, but later on I managed to keep a good balance til I got the 1000 colonists :)

Nice game, loved the mood. Similar problem to mine where it is a game that the more features it has the better it would be, but since we are in a jam, there's no time to fill it with cool features. Great aesthetics and sound!

Simple but nice game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)
