In this game made in 72 hours especially for Ludum Dare 50, you'll control a robot that got lost in space during one of its missions. With battery and fuel almost exhausted, the poor thing is already condemned to die alone in an unknown place in the universe. Help him live as long as you can.

On the planet there are many batteries but they are destabilized and releasing particles, when collecting a battery a part of the robot's energy will be drained to stabilize the battery, get them to the lander as soon as possible to fully stabilize and get their electrical charge. When charging a battery, it is possible to pass through the trail of particles to obtain energy, so calculate your movements well.

_How to play:_

Controls: WASD to move, spacebar to jump and shift to run, move the camera with the mouse.

When running more battery will be drained.

so, is the planet a small sphere or is the curvature due to the cameras perspective?

Very cute robot + spherical world to run around = a nifty project.
The graphics are nice and clearly polished down to the motion blur and skybox. Great work :)

The graphics seem really well polished, postprocessing ads quite a lot to the final look of the game. The music is very chill and fits the aesthetic, good choice.
The gameplay is a bit repetitive after a while but it's still a nice experience

Pretty cute robot game, gameplay is simple but still fun! The graphics are great and I like the fact that there's a functioning menu!

Simple and totally on theme. Got lost going around the planet, died, and had a sad, ;o;

I like how simple the mechanics are! I also really liked the music, and I think it fits very well with the game! I am curious if the world is actually round, because I tried to go all the way around, and was unable to find the platform. Overall, a very interesting game!

Beautiful visuals and really moody - really polished entry. Nice work!

@jamieok @damakuno @old-man-dave @haztro Thank you!

@sourcehorse Thank you! It's easy to get lost on the planet, the secret so it doesn't happen is to use the sun as a reference, the landing module is exactly below the sun

@whysguy52 @ss9 The planet is a sphere! And to be honest, it slowed me down a bit during the development of the game, as I had to make gravity work on planets.

What a cute assets! Game reminds me WaLL-E. It's so pity that he is alone there.

I spent wonderful moments during space and batteries^^

Cool game!

Great visuals! I also liked the music, just wished there were sound effects for when I collected a battery and when I dropped it at the platform.

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to collect all batteries? I managed 12 only haha

Good job!

The visual style on this game is great! The character movement also felt really nice. One thing I would love to see if you decide to expand on the game is some way to allow getting further away from the platform where you drop off the batteries. Maybe with some way increase your total battery capacity.

Game is nice, I really like the mood of it and visual too, great job.

Well done! the graphics are amazing and i really like your game idea. Very nice game!

i thought the audio and the graphics were really well executed! this is a good lookin game! gameplay was simple as well.

for my feedback it was kinda hard to tell if the robot was carrying a battery since i was mostly seeing their back the whole time.

also i did have an issue when first booting up the game. i have 2 monitors, one landscape the other portrait. i had a problem when opening the game where it would convert the main landscape monitor to portrait and would display the game sideways. i was able to fix it by temporarily disabling my portrait monitor. not a big deal, but thought i'd let ya know 🐛

Really impressive 3D graphics! Love the music too. I got 12 in my best attempt. And I wonder if the game is just hard, or I'm missing something. Cool game, well done!
