Reminds me of Blaster Master and An Untitled Story.:) Too bad there isn't really interaction, the atmosphere seems very nice!

mjrevel 2014-04-30 23:32

Not much to do but as you mentioned the atmosphere is fairly nice to roam around in.

thorig 2014-05-02 19:59

Very moody, curious to see what this develops into

joao-kucera 2014-05-03 01:55

Good graphics.

almost 2014-05-03 02:34

It looks and sounds nice.

kirbytails7 2014-05-03 03:06

I don't see the game here, but the background is nice.

eazygoin67 2014-05-03 03:18

Impressive prototype for 48 hours. The effects and atmosphere are great. Keep it up!

cluelessgames 2014-05-03 03:27

Nice effects!

manabreak 2014-05-03 04:28

I liked the controls and the animations a lot. The graphic style was cool. I roamed through the entire map. :)

As you already inted to continue on this, I'll just say... Do it!

dalbinblue 2014-05-03 04:34

You've got a nice atmosphere and some solid controls. Pity you only had time for a small tech demo.

lucienpro 2014-05-03 05:19

Very nice mood and atmosphere, like the dust that flew past and the graphics, needed a bit more interaction though, good job!

ddaniel_t 2014-05-03 12:29

You nailed the atmosphere! The art and sound effects remind me a lot like the game Sword & Sworcery. I'm looking forward to trying a full version.

kevlanche 2014-05-03 12:29

This is going to be a repeat of what everybody else said; but excellent atmosphere! The ambience/music was great. I did not really like the "jump" sfx though. I hope you'll continue work on this :-). Looking forward to exploring beneath the surface

greatbigjerk 2014-05-03 12:30

Very atmospheric!

607 2014-05-03 12:30

This has quite some potential. Not much to do though, as you said.

damrem 2014-05-03 18:39

the link opens on a blank page :/

tehryanx 2014-05-03 18:52

yeah, the link isn't working for me either. :/

cottontrek 2014-05-03 18:53

Sorry about the link, it seems the host site is down for a bit. I've added an alternate link.

Thanks for all the feedback!

ragzouken 2014-05-03 18:56

nice atmosphere, the background sounds are great. very pretty too

dreii 2014-05-03 19:14

Great mood, like the explosion effect on the ground and the sounds are great!

solifuge 2014-05-03 19:27

I fell off the edge of the world D:

This is a good tech demo! The colors are well-chosen (nice sky!), controls are smooth, and I was intrigued by the pagoda-like structures in the background. Good work on your story/framing narrative, too. When the game started up I was worried it was going to be sort of cheesy, but there was something really nice about that dichotomy--being on the surface of the planet, and beneath the surface of the acid clouds.

I was a little bit distracted by all of the particle effects, though. Their being so synchronized and rhythmic was kind of irritating. I'm having an unusually difficult time explaining why, though. If it's necessary for the game, maybe you could change up the rhythm a little bit? The overall contrast between the very blocky terrain, and the very smooth and rounded, almost bubbly particle effects, clashed.

Thank you for the game!

harsayhd 2014-05-03 19:46

Cool effects and graphics! Very moody, but it doesn't feel like it was a game.

arcturusdeluxe 2014-05-03 19:57

Wish there was more to do in this game, but cool nonetheless! Very atmospheric. Reminds me a lot of Knytt (go check it out if you haven't, its awesome!) Nice use of ambient sounds.

fragsteel 2014-05-03 20:10

Not much to add, because the other comments nail it. Atmosphere is truly fantastic! This will be lots of fun when there's more to do. Grats!

depp 2014-05-03 22:40

Looking forward to seeing you next Ludum Dare, maybe with a bit more game :-)

dector 2014-05-03 22:50

Awesome graphics style. Especially I love background. Keep moving. Hope it'll great game!

elliottd 2014-05-03 23:15

Really cute rover. it's very expressive for something simple. good job.

exergy 2014-05-03 23:24

It got a nice feeling. Nice camera movement and good looking graphics.

teambrookvale 2014-05-03 23:41

Awesome graphics!

hybridmind 2014-05-04 00:04

Nice moody environment. Not sure how I feel about the bird sounds though in that type of world. Doesn't feel right. I liked the other drone sounds and the swirling clouds. Would've been cool to see more gameplay for sure.

javierecf 2014-05-04 01:11

It is really hard to make a playable prototype in such short amount of time, but your game is enjoyable, good ambience and precise controls.

Btw: It is just me or the rover looks like one of these? http://0.s3.envato.com/files/76631946/preview%20image.jpg.

lajos 2014-05-04 02:17

Beautiful!

rojo 2014-05-04 02:31

Really nice looking with some good atmosphere. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot to do - some more challenging platforming sections probably would help in the gameplay department.

baykush_figtree 2014-05-04 13:39

Awesome visuals, audio and camera. Nice theme interpretation.
Would love to see this as an actual game!

csanyk 2014-05-05 21:40

Excellent start to something that could be really great. Doesn't feel like there's a game here, yet, but a ton of potential.

donovanwu 2014-05-06 13:18

See great potential for further development of the game!

delca 2014-05-09 20:14

I enjoyed the basic atmosphere, and I wanna see more of this!
