Fabulous game, the graphics and music both fit perfectly. It's also very funny, which never hurts! My fleet of the Galactica, Serenity, and Swordfish only made it to day nine :(

funny game. pretty cool mechanic that's easy to implement but still gets you to want to replay. cool music.

otherwise it's a bit like reading a children book.

Man I'm liking this game a lot, it's got a lot of replayability and the music is nice and upbeat

Really enjoyed playing this game! Loved naming my ships, haha, though I never seem to pick good traits. Was enticed into playing three times before I figured I really should make sure I get back here and rate it, the music definitely made the journey feel exciting (:

It gave me a good laugh, I love how everything seems easy at the begginning and then strange things starts to happen. Also it's quite a unique take on the theme.

Hey. I like the idea, felt somewhat doomed from my initial choices, but maybe that's the point!

Very funny.

Minimalistic and sweet. The music fits really good.

joonamo 2014-08-25 17:34

Best one so far! Love my Challo, Rudolf and Jollooni ships!

Nice music and really realistic replay of christophers journey... :D Did he lost so many good men at the battle vs the sea monster ^^

That was rather amusing, if very luck-based. After dying again and again closer and closer to India, I managed to win with a Polite/Optimistic/Hearty crew (IIRC).

I don't regret spending this much time on it.

Nice, funny and clever !

This was very funny. Great work!

At first, I was all "WTF did I just play". Only to understand this was some kind of FTL game :D.

perecil 2014-08-27 08:23

OK, I reviewed the overall score because I didn't understand at the first time the principles of the game. Very humorous game :D.

Nice entry... reminded me of Oregon Trail for the new world. 5-star humor!

kittymac 2014-08-28 05:02

very humorous

"Ok, this game is quite funny, I'll probably give it 3 in humour [a moment later] Ok, this actually is pretty funny. Let's give it 4 [a moment later] Ok. Five. [a moment later] Shit! Where is six?"

Seriously, this is my favorite entry so far. Not only the game is hilarious, but it's also pretty, clever and fun to play. I can't see anything wrong with this game. I'm just wondering : Did you composed the music? If so, it's really impressing. If not, I can't rate you in audio/mood.

jjhaggar 2014-08-29 15:04

Almost a full 5 stars for me! Really fun! :D Maybe you didn't compose the music, but you chose it really wisely ^_^

Hilarious interactive story-telling! Wish I could have crash landed Zelda, or ran Peach into a castle. USS Apple Pies fell off the earth!

Love the music, the funny situations were great as well, also thanks for the poem!

dunin 2014-09-06 16:34

Why FTL, Out There and co. add mecanics? Only choices is really fun...
Good writing.
In my best run I died two days before the discovery of ((India) America) the end of the game.

lotusgame 2014-09-07 22:58

I really like the concept. I play several times. Music is gorgeous. The cycle day-night is a little bit too long and it's too bad ships aren't moving. Anyway, it's a very nice entry :)

nicepenguins 2014-09-09 05:06

Nice rogue-like-like (?) game :) ! It's bad that you absolutely need the "skill" to get a choice and most of time you have to Do nothing or to pick the only choice you have. The game is absolutely hilarious though x)

maniulo 2014-09-10 16:04

One time I had to drop some supplies at the end of the world, gained 447 food rations instead and then died of starvation two days later.
Anyway, so fun!

Three days away from India, the hearty, swift, coordinated crew of the Betty, Katie and Fry met their demise by the hands of aliens.

Great humor and funny game, good job!

It's a really nice game, but it's sad that you got #27 for music that you didn't make. It's not fair to everyone that follows the rules of the compo. Next time, please either make the music yourself or enter your game in the "jam" category.
