The graphics is really need and i think i just fall in love with adventures again. It was pretty satisfying to find a way how to get past the broken section.

I would work on the space craft UI a little bit (put some grid over here or something like that). There is also bug which I was not able to reproduced:

My partner did not like the sounds but i think it was pretty good and you had to have fun while recording it. :D

But overall it is a nice game!

Graphics and sound are really fantastic. The breathing sound effect is really claustraphobic, and I genuienly felt panicky when the laboured breaths started!

Also really love the ambience of the spores floating around, and the design of the characters.

I keep getting stuck in the room with the broken window? There doesn't seem to be a solution with the stuff I have on me, how do I get out?

I like the sounds and the feel of the game, the dark atmosphere. But I had a little struggle finding out what to do. I kept on getting stuck. But I like the idea, and the breathing is quite nerve-wrecking

Fantastic entry, your team really did a great job! I had some issues with crafting glitches, and felt stuck at a few points, but overall enjoyed the experience. The sound and visuals did a great job setting the mood.

Great work, a few things could do with tightning up as I encountered some bugs regarding the inventory and crafting system, but the atmosphere and the aesthetic of the game is flawless. Amazing job!

Damn, that wax unexpectedly terrifying! Never thought I would get anxious while playing a jam game! You guys managed to convey an exceptional mood. However, like the others mentioned, the inventory UI takes a bit from the atmosphere (not pun intended). Great work overall!
