As you outrun the horizon of the collapsing universe, try to save as many people as you can aboard your ship.

Not everyone takes kindly to authorities from the sky, and not everyone will believe your story, so be wise about who you try to take; you'll also need to keep supplies stocked to keep the ship running and to keep your refugees alive.

We didn't have the time to fully commit to the jam this time around, so we came up a bit short of our intended vision. Sorry in advance for the complete lack of balance and playtesting! Had fun anyway, we hope you did too.
Tools: Unity

The lack of variety and balance is a bit unfortunate because there's a lot of potential in this one !

Tiny but fun!

Reminds me a lot of FTL: Faster Than Light :smile:

Maybe I just had an unlucky run, but it seemed like everyone was extremely hostile to me! Nice entry though, like others say it has FTL vibes.

Fun game, the writing was funny, but I had an issue with the green node being covered by the "wait" button, making me unable to click on it.

This is giving me FTL vibes !

Sorry you couldn't acheive your intended vision, it's quite obvious from the game right now that there could be more to the dialogues and the trading. Unforntunately right now, there's not much of a challenge as 80% nodes gives me what I want. I wonder though, what are the reasons some people die just after (and only then) we get some new people on board ?

Like other people I also struggled to see the green destination dot because it was hidden behind the wait button while in fullscreen.

Anyway, congrats on your for this jam! :)

It looks really cool! I spent some time exploring the little planets and seeing what was written on each one! There's a small bug if you double-click on the same planet, but nothing that interferes with the gameplay.
