Mission Androma6

You'll need to delay your death to accomplish more on the planet. But death is not the end, after each death you'll gain coins based on your performance. You must spend your coin to improve your equipment.

The end goal is to build an Alien Beacon and contact the aliens there. You will need to gather resources and craft materials to build it.

Achievements must be completed in order to gain enough coins to progress.

There is a Help menu in the top right to guide you.

Very cool! A surprising amount of activity and crafting options and I like the rogue-like nature of it.

Strangely compelling game loop. Reminded me a little of the early bits of A Dark Room. I think I liked it? Was good to take advantage of efficiency of making sure to harvest 10 potatoes at a time, things like that. Some of the resource juggling got a little tedious but was fun to feel out the system and figure out when I can start being sustainable.

Graphics mostly aren't, but the game is completely readable and clearly presented, would only have liked the space for it on itch to be a little longer to eliminate (at least on larger monitors) the need to scroll up and down sometimes.

Nice job.

@jovialknoll A Dark Room was an strong inspiration indeed. Thank you for your feedback!

Really cool idea, well executed. The bonuses are a nice way to encourage replay-ability. The only downside it is is hard to know whether you are getting better at the game , or whether the game is just getting easier. Still well done :)

This type of game is exactly my jam. The design was super clean and presentable, and it was great getting stronger and finding more of the game each run. Very well done, and thanks for sharing!
