In this game you play as a janitor of a space station! Find your tools and repair the broken door and solar panels, as your shift ends head back to sleep and in the morning start over and over again. Have fun!

Controls : WASD -move, E-interact, H -toggle help, ESC -pause


Unfortunately we focused too much time on the graphics part and therefor underdeveloped the gameplay. Sorry!

Extra thanks for Dullios for the audio(:

Tools used : Unity,Blender, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Photoshop

Nice environment, you did a good job

A bit empty, but the idea is nice anyway. A bit more consequences, choices and stuff to do would have been nice

@eldelhas thanks! We know, unfortunately we ran out of time, maybe next time

Pretty classic and I would even call it cheesy take on the theme.

However graphics look really good, the find items and complete objectives gameplay is also pretty classic.

Overall I can't definitevely say anything, but the effort was there, and that's what matters the most, keep up the good work :)

@n8dev I don't know what's cause the error but I will look after it.

The environment looks nice, but the loop in this game feels too much like a job in my opinion. There is no real reward in the main gameplay loop of the game since every time you complete it you must do it again. I know that is the theme (kind of) but this interpretation might be a bit too literal for my liking.

The voice really adds something to the game though, good job on that!

Congrats for your entry !
Sadly as you say, the gameplay is really underdevelopped, but I understand.
I guess you got the theme, kindof ? Restarting the scene works, but it's pretty meh in my opinon.
The graphics art nice for a jam game, gotta admit that, especially the skysphere, did you make it? Even if well, on Mars the atmosphere is more orange, I'm not sure if you can see space like this, but it doesn't matter ahah

The gameplay is pretty rigid, the step sounds too loud and repetitive, pretty annoying in the end, and a sprint function could have come in handy to go faster.
The music is good too, and the audio ok, nice job ^^

I did not really enjoy it much though, I'm sorry ^^;

@kaldrin Thank you! Guess it really seems we almost completely forgot about the theme 😂

Really nice looking environment you got there :smile:

As you said, the gameplay is unfinished, but the graphics are amazing and you created a really nice enviorement. You also created a really nice mood and it is a relaxing game overall.

This was an okay little jam game. It's needs a bit more gameplay, but okay I see you ran out of time.

Definitely an interesting setting. The music fit well and I like that you included voice acting.

Despite the game obviously lacking content, here are a few things that I would've liked:

* a sprint button (the scenery on the way to the solar panel got a bit boring after a while :P)
* more specific directions. "Go inside" and "Go outside" didn't really help me that much
* highlight objects you can interact with (I often just spamclicked to check if I could interact with something

I understand that you ran out of time which might have prevented you from adding things like these. For what it is, I still like it. Well done!

EDIT: Just saw that you opted out of audio. Shame, I really liked that you included voice acting :(

@captainproton42 Thank you!
We removed the sprint function in order to kinda slow down the gameplay. We didn't want the player to just speedrun the whole thing.
We made it that way, so the player has to explore/find things out for themselves, not just follow some boring orders.
We included a help function, you must've missed it. Just press H and little yellow arrows show you the things you have to/can interact with.

Nice! Why didn't you allow rating for the music/audio?

I'm really surprised of how many people did a game about a janitor. The environnement is great and there's a lot of detail, but sometime the overall look is quite inconsistent (texture/no texture...)
