Apr 7 13:26:25 The Inevitable Abyss ♥ 1 My pet parrot absolutely loved the music, it set her off singing and dancing like you wouldn't believe so big points for that
Apr 9 11:01:05 45h 34m I have no nose, and I must smell ♥ 2 This has been my favourite entry into this current jam so far, so I feel I owe it to you to give some detailed feedback from a a place of love: - Adored the soundtrack, wouldn't change a thing about it. Nothing better than comfy music during space exploration - The atmosphere was phenomenal, caught myself flying around for way longer than I thought I would just because it was so lovely to do so - Controls were actually pretty intuitive once I got the hang of them. I feel that "Jetpack" may have been a bit unclear in the instructions as it took me a while to realise how it was impacting my movement. Felt great to fly around once I had that down. Maybe an auto-reorient button would've been awesome as I did find myself holding it down for the most part - Your low poly planets looked great, but I think this really caused a noticeable mismatch in the skybox style. I reckon if you hand-drew a cartoony space skybox and fixed the UVs on the model it'd look fantastic - I think the logs were fairly contrived, I feel I was reading books but giant books placed along planets. Something a bit more techy to match the tone and atmosphere would probably have fit better here. The writing was great though, it's a shame there's no score for writing in Ludum Dare because I would've absolutely handed you a 5 for that - I really had no idea what I was trying to do, but I'm assuming there's a log I missed somewhere that provided a username and password for the log-in screen? If there's more to the game, I'm truly sorry I didn't get to see it. Let me know if I was missing something and I'll definitely go back and check; though I didn't account my own shortcomings into the score I gave you, so don't worry about that This is an incredibly ambitious project for two people, and I think you really nailed the core of what you were trying to do. Props to you!
Apr 9 16:49:04 5h 47m Destination Station ♥ 2 Incredible gameplay loop. As soon as I realised exactly how things were working, I was hooked
Apr 9 17:09:14 20m 10s The End Of Days ♥ 1 Really loved watching your post-mortem. The idea of delaying the inevitable being offsetting something as it becomes stronger was something I'd really not even considered during ideation, super inventive implementation. Funny story, loved how everything controlled as well. Only disappointment was that the "End" screen wasn't an explosion sandbox cos that pop sound is SUPER satisfying
Apr 10 17:42:30 24h 33m Reptiles Save the Queen ♥ 0 The game crashed when I visited Australia and I think that fit the tone PERFECTLY. Didn't even question it!
Apr 11 21:49:45 28h 07m Newton's Law ♥ 1 Got hooked on it. Became an expert. Very satisfying game when you work out the trick to it! TheTrick.png
