Space Batter

A game about two astronauts passing the time while trapped aboard a space station. I only had 6 hours to work on this, but wanted to submit something since I always seem to be busy during the jam period, so I just made something quick and simple.

Tried to embed the game on the Ludum Dare page but not sure if it's working, I recommend either playing the web version on my Itch page or trying the downloadable version for your platform.

Controls

Spacebar to swing your bat, P to change the color palette, and Esc to quit. Every hit is a home run in space, but three strikes and you're out!

Gameplay



Theme

Knowing my time restrictions and my tendency to overscope, my first idea when seeing the theme "Limited Space" was to limit myself to making a game that only uses the space bar. Building on that, I thought it would be a nice addition to have it set in space, where the characters are trapped aboard a space station and are just looking for ways to kill time, and so are limited in the available space they have but also are literally in space.

Very nice little game, enjoyed it a lot :). Gameplay could be smoother but otherwise the style I love!

Simple yet effective, sometimes that's the way to go! I love that you still included sound and the colour-changing aspect even with limited time. Very clever little story!

I really liked the visuals and the audio. The gameplay though was a bit lacking. However nice work for knowing the l limited time you had.
