Description:
----
In the not-so-distant future, life on earth is no longer possible, meteorites are destroying everything.
Civilization as we know it has disappeared.

You are one of the last survivors. Escape from Earth to begin your adventure. Space is not a safe place, be careful.

Instructions
----
Welcome aboard your spaceship!
In the space of raging battles, destroy as many enemy ships as you can. But beware, your resources are limited.

Resources
----

During your journey, your resources will be consumed.

There are 3 types of resources:
-Fuel
-Water
-Food

Planets
----

If your resources are empty you die, don't forget to keep an eye on them. The planets are rest areas, you can land there to regain a resource type. When you go down to the planet, you have to start the resource extraction. As you walk around the planet, you will find elements to speed up the extraction, use them !

I usually love space shooters, but I didn't really seem to agree with the controls :( It was cool and all, but I never made it for longer than a few minutes before being blow to smithereens. Did I miss something or am I just bad at this? :P

Edit: I must also add that I absolutely love the beautiful spaceship :D Saw it and ran here to play!

The controls don't seem to be working. This is likely due to the controls being designed for azerty keyboards. I'm just using a normaly qwerty keyboard, and its not easy to play like this.

Also, when on a planet in first person view, your mouse is left on the screen. because of this, you won't be able to turn past a certain angle once your mouse hits the edge of the screen.

I want to like this so bad though, there is a lot of content here that looks really cool. I just can't play it.

@fpeg Thanks for the graphics !
If you use QWERTY controls, the best thing to do is to download the Windows version [QWERTY] you'll have a better game experience (and access to the Hall of Fame).
I don't think you are bad but the enemies are very strong ahaha ;)

I would first like to say I am a big fan of the voiced sounds for the laser shots always a favorite of mine. I do have to agree it would be nice to have other keyboard set ups but it is what it is and I still enjoyed the play through. Good job, I enjoyed the few minutes of flying out shooting at alien ships.

WhoMakeWorseauthor21 Apr 2020, 21:33

@bodaciouslycrazy Thank you for your input.
If you use a qwerty keyboard you can install the Windows version [QWERTY] which will make the controls easier.
In addition you will have access to the Hall of Fame which is not available on the WebGL version.
As far as moving on a planet, we thought it was pretty good but we'll do better next time so (we'll take the ideas into account).
Indeed we had a lot of ideas but not necessarily the time to do everything (we are 2).

I liked the asteroid physics. Unfortunately when I landed on a planet, I got sucked down in to the ground! I slowly sunk downwards and I couldn't seem to get out.

Really cool game though, it's like mini No Man's Sky.

Ale21 Apr 2020, 21:46

Those sound effects were great lol. Being able to land on planets was really cool, and the landing animation looked really fancy and cinematic. Although, it seems like you aren't invincible during that animation because I died while waiting for the ship to land.

rumor21 Apr 2020, 21:48

Incredibly ambitious for a weekend's jam! Good No Man's Sky vibes. I managed to get as far as landing on a planet and finishing a resource extraction, but I'm not sure what to do next. The only option I can see is "stop extraction," but that doesn't seem to have an effect?

WhoMakeWorseauthor21 Apr 2020, 21:52

@rumor Thanks a lot, we worked very hard to get everything done and finished on time. Of course, there are still things we could have done better.
To answer your question, you can get back in your ship from the front. And then continue exploring the universe

WhoMakeWorseauthor21 Apr 2020, 21:54

Thanks a lot @ale, we are very proud to have been able to finish on time, even if there are still things to improve, too bad ;)

WhoMakeWorseauthor21 Apr 2020, 21:56

Thanks @shay-cichocki, indeed for QWERTY keyboards, it's better to download the Windows version [QWERTY].
We're glad you liked our game.

Nicolas Diniz21 Apr 2020, 21:59

Love the space combat ! And hats off for the procedural world generation !

WhoMakeWorseauthor21 Apr 2020, 22:01

@nicolas-diniz Thanks a lot ;)

McCheeseBob21 Apr 2020, 22:01

Really quite cool to see a game of this scale done in such a short amount of time, certainly enjoyed parts of it. The on-planet mode seems a little wonky at times due to the very slow gravity and the stats not updating until you get back to space, so it can be hard to tell when to stop extraction. Besides that though I thought that this was a really cool idea.

WhoMakeWorseauthor21 Apr 2020, 22:06

@mccheesebob HUGE thanks, we are very pleased that our work has been rewarded. There are two of us and we hardly slept at all in the three days it took us to return this. Despite the few flaws, we are very happy. Thanks again.

WhoMakeWorseauthor21 Apr 2020, 22:10

@eckkert Thank you. Yes, sometimes you can sink into the ground of planets, but you can get out of it by jumping with [SPACE]. We haven't had time to fix this problem.

KittRangers21 Apr 2020, 22:50

Nice graphics! It's really hard to shoot enemies. Planet exploration is beautiful!

WhoMakeWorseauthor21 Apr 2020, 22:52

@kittrangers Thanks a lot

thebreakfast21 Apr 2020, 23:30

This may be the most ambitious Ludum Dare game I've ever seen. Great work!

WhoMakeWorseauthor22 Apr 2020, 12:03

@thebreakfast Thanks a lot we worked a lot this weekend ;)

Sockyman22 Apr 2020, 14:43

Graphics and audio are great! I love the ambitious concept. WASD didn't work for movement as well I couldn't turn all the way around. It was also very hard to aim and dodge. With a bit of polish this could make a great game.

Slurp1e22 Apr 2020, 14:45

I really loved the idea behind it. a few things i would have liked to have seen would be
1)An animation for the spaceship getting destroyed
2)A map or a tracker to locate enemy location
3) enemies coming in the form of waves

For a 72 hours gamejam this is some solid work. Great Job !!

Sthealthinator22 Apr 2020, 14:49

A nice Game you got there! .... And really good music. But the hit marker isn't accurate.

WhoMakeWorseauthor22 Apr 2020, 14:49

thank you @sockyman and @slurp1e we'll take the advice and remarks for next time

PatrickRMC22 Apr 2020, 14:54

First off, I love those sound effects. Those were just great! The game felt a little bit difficult, as soon as I clicked play my health just drained down to 0 hp in less than 10 seconds, second playthrough it went a tad bit better but overall it may have been a bit too difficult for me to play at times. The graphics are nice tho and the game looks pretty fun! Good job on completing a game.

DoctorTM22 Apr 2020, 14:55

Loved the shooting sounds haha! Great game for a jam!

scottgoldsmith22 Apr 2020, 14:56

Loved the 3d, but controls seemed difficult. The sound of your lazers are great, keep it up.

Alkis22 Apr 2020, 14:57

That game is very good and the concept very ambitious. I didnt realy like the controls though and i think there is the problem with the character when he explores planets, i couldn't seem to handle the rotation of the character correctly. Very nice graphics, i really like the feeling that im lost in space etc. The music was awesome, although i believe that the shooting sound effects was a bit off. Very nice game! Well done!

WhoMakeWorseauthor22 Apr 2020, 14:58

thank you @patrickrmc actually the enemies are a bit too strong, we'll take into account for next time

h4kcr0o22 Apr 2020, 14:58

Very cool game, i like the sound when the vessel is firing. Good job !

Wuceng22 Apr 2020, 14:59

The idea is nice and it looks cool but the controls are bad. I have no idea why you would move forward using y instead of w

WhoMakeWorseauthor22 Apr 2020, 14:59

@doctortm & @scottgoldsmith thank you very much !!

WhoMakeWorseauthor22 Apr 2020, 15:01

@alkis thanks for your comment!

WhoMakeWorseauthor22 Apr 2020, 15:01

@h4kcr0o thank you !!

WhoMakeWorseauthor22 Apr 2020, 15:02

@wuceng thank you. For the controls you can dl the Windows [QWERTY] version it will be better for u

Airola22 Apr 2020, 15:03

Let's just say that "Analize lolipop tree" is rather curious English :I

WhoMakeWorseauthor22 Apr 2020, 15:03

@sthealthinator thank you

WhoMakeWorseauthor22 Apr 2020, 15:04

@airola Oups :,)

acoto8722 Apr 2020, 15:05

Sometimes you lose track of advancing when there are no nearby meteorites that keep you the perspective. In general controls can be difficult, but somewhat fun to play. It's dangerous in indeed, I lose almost every time by health than by lack of resources. Other than that, good graphics and good work.

WhoMakeWorseauthor22 Apr 2020, 15:09

@acoto87 thank you

Rafa Braga22 Apr 2020, 23:48

Hey Bro, how are doing? i cant play the web version, the controls are not working, but in the windows version its ok, but i have a bug: i cant arrive in the planets, the ship drop me inside the planet. Any way, i love the mood of the game i think its really fun and the graphics are nice. I really enjoy the space battle, make mes feel like a resistence pilot! Well Done :)

WhoMakeWorseauthor23 Apr 2020, 01:10

@rafa-braga thanks!! Yes we have problem with the qwerty keyboards sorry for that.
If you’re stuck inside a planet you can jump with space to escape but again thanks

LaZZyDev7223 Apr 2020, 10:06

Love The Sound NIce Idea and well executed. I had fun playing your Game. Keep it up.

Anthony Dunlap23 Apr 2020, 14:48

I love the concept and the graphics. I enjoyed playing, despite the bugs. The only problem I have is that you can't really fight off enemies. They just keep coming and there end up being too many to fend off. It's also a little annoying that you start the game with five of them shooting at you.

WhoMakeWorseauthor23 Apr 2020, 15:46

@anthony-dunlap Thanks for your comment and your feedback !!

Asue25 Apr 2020, 18:57

Déjà, très belle présentation du jeu, ça donne envie :) Les graphismes sont beaux, les vaisseaux sont bien modélisés. J'aurai par contre aimé plus de détails quand on est dans l'espace, il faudrait peut-être assombrir la scène et rajouter des étoiles par exemple. J'aime le fait de pouvoir retourner le vaisseau, c'est un ajout sympa. Bravo à vous pour ce jeu ambitieux =D
