Faced with the mission to enter a dying planet, the goal of the space team "The Umbrella" is to Keep the planet Alive. The mothership orbits this dying planet, sending an abundance of supplies to the mech-robot driver on the surface.

Funny game. You created good project. Thank you.

I liked the music and the art, and the concept is cool.

I miss a feedback of completion, as I got Oxygen, moisture and energy to max and Radiation to zero, and then some "You terraformed the planet" message would have been nice.
By the way, the radiation bar should be moved apart, as it's totally different from the others (it has to be reduced instead of increased).
I would add something to close the mothership menu, since I sometimes opened it to check if I could get anything new but found out that I couldnt get anything new yet. Then I couldn't close it so had to ask for something I didn't need in order to close the menu.

The idea is fun and it fits the theme well.

@thaniel I'm sorry it didn't work. What was happening in the game when it crashed? I'll try to reproduce the crash an diagnose it

@carlix Thank you for the feedback. I realized right before releasing it that it would have been super helpful to be able to back out of the mothership menu. Also, there is a game win state after a few seconds of having full meters/zero rads. We'll use this experience to make the next jam game more user-friendly.

@inaki-roque thank you! Your game had a kindred spirit but way nicer implementation.

Cute animations - loved the way the robot walks

I would have loved to have seen the robot move faster and not letting the robot place things on top of one another. I think with these 2 changes the game would have been more fun and engaging.

Great work!

Very well done game. The mother ship menu confused me a little bit, but I was able to figure it out. My favourite bit its the animation of the robot! I like the way his arms go up and down.

Nice game!!! I relly like the ideia of mothership[ drop things to you in a planet!

Cool idea, you could prevent player from spawning all items In the same place. also there could be like a budget or something because the game kinda doesn't make sense when you can spawn anything you want without any limits. Also the game ending could be a bit more rewarding. On the plus side, I really like the soundtrack and the game has really solid mood :smile:
