The game is super, very interesting. Played for a long time)

Salaen5 Oct 2021, 07:51

Did not download it.
But the vidoe looks very interesting

Very nice game, it reminds me of FTL.

Fun game! I got stuck in Tutorial. It says reactor need fuel but I added like 10 fuel rods to reactor but it doesn't progress.

After that I jumped directly into new game and it was quite fun. Maybe you can player give more information about the task they doing. Like a hammer icon can appear on player's head while repairing a broken reactor

Fun and stressful management game with some interesting mechanics. It's like playing as a crew member in FTL, except the ship just falls apart on you. I also really dig the animated menu backgrounds

aknavj5 Oct 2021, 08:23

@wolderado We will look into that issue :) Thanks for feedback and bugreporting! :)

Hobzone5 Oct 2021, 08:24

Of course so think of FTL when playing the game but this time you really play the crew to keep the ship on the tracks! The game is really fun but there is a lack of feedback in my opinion which make the game harder.

Alina Baybulatova5 Oct 2021, 09:07

Cool idea) I really have fun to play this game) Thank you!

i think you forgot to disable debug printing...

Amaroq5 Oct 2021, 11:16

You'll hear this often but yeah it does remind me of FTL (which is a good thing ;)). Nice entry, I like the music and the intro in pixelated 3D is pretty dope! The game would be even nicer as a multiplayer one, with a full crew onboard. Also

aknavj5 Oct 2021, 11:23

@neputevshina yeah :D that happens when 3 programmers are merging x-th version of code :D And someone forgots to check console output at final release :D

I couldn't really get through the tutorial with the jar version, the window scales really weirdly, so I had to go off the video mostly. A bit repetitive, and it's not completely clear what the win condition was. Other than that, great job and a complete game!

Irina Nikulina5 Oct 2021, 13:18

Nice game! I liked start animation so much

Michelangelo5 Oct 2021, 19:48

With more feedback the game could be played with less frustration, but i had fun. Also you could keep the sprint always enabled, since players will always need to run.
I REALLY loved the starting animation.

HelenAngel6 Oct 2021, 03:35

Really cute graphics! The gameplay was really interesting. We had definitely had fun with it. Great job! :)

Donatello6 Oct 2021, 09:27

Nice job guys! Really liked the initial animation and all the ship falling apart with fire eruptions really made me feel the unstability of a space journey going very wrong

etrealjunior7 Oct 2021, 06:52

Unfortunately the game for me doesn't open.

aknavj7 Oct 2021, 07:33

@etrealjunior which operating system do you have?

LDJam user 26711612 Oct 2021, 07:50

cool game! took me a second to get in the rhythm of it. I ended up just keeping the fire extinguisher with the spacesuit, fire kills you fast even on normal!

Fluorescent12 Oct 2021, 18:18

This is just awesome! I am biased since my own take on the theme was the same, but you did it much better.
Nothing but praise to you for this awesome game :)

To go about it more, fire occurring and then spreading is cool, UI is clean and good at telling us what's actually up, FTL-like aesthetics and retro-style intro with an interestingly looking ship is definitely a huge +.

Liked it very-very much!
