Pronounced "honk", HONC is a 3D space exploration game about giving Life to a solar system by distributing Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon. Explore and document the planets of System No.1876.

Technical details: the game runs at 144p with limited color palette/scan line/distortion shaders to create an old-school effect :) This would be a very fun postmortem to write, I think.

There is a web version and a Windows version, just scroll down the itch.io page to the downloads section (added the Windows version after the jam on 4/30/19). Windows is in my opinion the definitive version due to mouse first-person lock control being consistent.

Controls are on the itch page :)

*NOTE: The three music tracks in this game were created outside of LD44 by Benjamin Busche. All other sound design was done in-jam by myself.*
