Take your role as an engineer in NASA Mission Control Center during Apollo 13 spaceflight. Do your best with hints, in order to help the ship to reach desired goal.

HOWTO:
In case of emergency make sure to send your guesses for fixes, using console provided.
"Modules" and "Emergency" lists are scrollable.

P.S. Special thanks to BlackAngel for help in developing this game.

solid game, the difficulty curve from level 3 to level 4 was a bit too steep for me but I like the idea of console commands a lot

Nice theme, fun game. I think I noticed a spelling mistake in level 2 - it should say coffee machine

Actually this one was quite original, didn't expect a text based game with theme. The game itself its short and on the point, nice work.

cool game I like how it was different to other games i have played!

Nice, for me it had one problem: Too much going on. You are reading and focusing eyes on one part and totally ignoring that nice estetics style. Maybe it could be better with less of text? Or differently placed?

@kamtar
"Maybe it could be better with less of text" yeah.. had the same feeling during development, but still that was the required evil to maintain the tension.

Interesting take on theme, the graphics are pretty nice too. My only problems were no sound effects and the many many typos. Otherwise, good job!
feips5 Dec 2017, 20:18
Great Job! Nice graphics, music would have been nice too. Also, I am pretty sure your spacecraft is a soyuz and not an apollo :)

@feips , yes) but we hoped no one notice so tssss.. let's keep it secret) Thanks for the feedback)

I'm trying to find the Easter Eggs. And I'm running out of ideas. Help? :D :D
Nice idea, a little repetitive tbh, but good non the less
VictorTimoftii5 Dec 2017, 21:15
That's the game when you choose to "punch coffee machine", instead of "repair radiation shield for ultraviolet spectrofuckingraph"
darthnumbers5 Dec 2017, 21:17
Solid game, I wish there were sound, and some polish, the text could use some more work

The window that opens in the HTML link is slightly cropped, meaning I couldn't read the name of some of the components (Navigation Pa....?) So I couldn't play too far I'm afraid.

@bificommander , yep, must've overlooks. That's a ui design flaw. Full sreens seems to fix it .. sort of. Thanks for pointing that out.)

Very interesting and fun game. Some music could make it great. Love coffe machine.

Really fun, enjoyed the command line style. levels 3 and 4 were, whew, typing mania (especially 4). But it's passable and fun. Typos here and there, but otherwise really good! :)
Egor
Egorauthor5 Dec 2017, 22:08
@machrom , Thanks! I guess youre the only one who beat 4th level so far!
Lukuluk6 Dec 2017, 00:09
Really nice game! The last level was too hard for me but it's cool and well linked to the thema.
I would love to have heard some space ambiant sounds :)

Interesting take on the theme. One problem I saw for a very text-based game is that there were quite a few typos and misspellings. I also was missing music, but there is only so much you can do in 48/72 hours.
Arkthalohs6 Dec 2017, 03:23
I liked it, though there were a lot of typos and misspellings throughout, which made it harder to type the right things. The art was nice, but not too distracting. There was a pretty sharp spike in difficulty on the third level, but that was where I got into it. It almost turned into a typing game which was an interesting approach for things. Good job!
SraBatata6 Dec 2017, 06:12
Great work, good knowledge curve.
Fahim Faysal6 Dec 2017, 08:22
Pretty fun.Your take on the theme is interesting because The gradually gets harder as you get more parts. I'm pretty bad at typing so I found it hard. Outside of the typos(were they intentional), I like it.

really nice game with winter and kraken in space ! ^^ GJ
zgragselus7 Dec 2017, 02:53
So, taking Soyuz-MS on the Moon is a task for true kerbals, not just mere men - that's the problem and that's why there were all the accidents on the route!

Anyways I liked the game a lot. I've typed 'covfefe' instead of 'coffe' more times than Trump and completely enjoyed this experience.

As for few things I missed:

- music
- radio sounds and voice coverage, that would make this game really good
- actual Deep Space Kraken

Anyways keep up the good work!

A typing game... a little too easy, but nicely done.

Nice game, however a bit too short and too easy.

I loved to refill the Coffee Machine during space expedition :smile:

I would recommend making scroll faster, since it took ages to scroll through the right panel (under "Sabotage" button).
