Loved this whole thing! It all feels very mysterious and made me wonder

sharpcoder 2014-08-25 05:25

This looks like a cool game! But that walking sound... Anyway, I couldn't figure out what to do :( I went to the gems and the launch button just kept making explosions and I couldn't seem to interact with the environment. And once I was outside, there was no coming back! I think an instruction page would be a good idea. But I love the style of your game and the eerie, mysterious, otherworldly vibe it has. nice job :)

hypnohustla 2014-08-25 06:08

Moody game. Some instructions would have been nice but I guess finding things on your own is part of it's charm. :)

berail 2014-08-25 06:18

I like idea it feels little like Neverhood

zapaman 2014-08-25 06:28

Hard to understand what I was supposed to do at first. Loved the way his fit juggle on the floor :D

naksrifati 2014-08-25 06:39

Liked a lot the way, how you must activate your ship. And overall very interestiong concept)

fromsmiling 2014-08-25 06:47

Pretty enjoyable!! Lots of mystery to discover and it feels good too ' u '

chartinboy 2014-08-25 07:28

Game is really interesting...but oh god the walking noise.

ferrenreve 2014-08-25 07:29

Fantastic game, but a bit hard to figure out.

nonentheless 2014-08-25 07:41

Walking sound is great :)

dusho 2014-08-25 07:52

Interesting art. I don't get the computer controls though.. It's like my first Win8 experience all over again.
Please explain better how to control computer - or is it part of a puzzle.

lafleur 2014-08-25 07:52

This was fantastic. Loved every bit (minus the walking noise :P )

cmayhem 2014-08-25 08:20

Took a while to figure out the computer and still not sure...
Love the animation though.

bladderbloat 2014-08-25 08:31

Cool :)

makio 2014-08-25 08:35

As the others, too hard to understand but pretty, nice stuff overall

magmacrab 2014-08-25 08:38

Really cool, i really like these mysterious games. took me a while to figure out the travelling.

kedume 2014-08-25 08:42

I like a lot the graphics. I've been playing for a while but i don't know what to do (i've pulled out the screws but nothing else...).

resni 2014-08-25 09:02

I like the aesthetics! Would be nice if in-game it tells you to press X to interact, and maybe about the screws, other than that I really enjoyed the mystery and discovery!

jupitron 2014-08-25 10:41

Nice style, it reminds me to The Neverhood, do you know it?

bogdanmaier49 2014-08-25 11:05

Took me a while to find out what I need to do. (maybe is just me). Nice game tho.

franklins-ghost 2014-08-25 12:12

Liked the interactivity and mood but not sure what I was meant to do.

doubstract 2014-08-25 12:42

very funny, i really enjoyed walking animations, whole game is very stylish and amazing.

merlijnvh 2014-08-25 14:14

I wasn't really sure what to do in the beginning, everything was very cryptic, but I think that works in favor of the game. When I finally managed to launch to another planet, I felt proud for figuring something out! A very cool and mysterious game.

snoutup 2014-08-25 14:21

What happened? Am I dead? Game screen went black when I entered building in the last (?) planet... Is this it?

Hint for people, who are looking how to play: unscrew the "computer" panel, move white pieces to it, then toggle buttons with particular symbols & launch your ship to planets they direct to. Or something like that. Loved the game!

tbamberg 2014-08-25 21:22

the hint was helpful, so thanks for that!
otherwise, the game was fun, though I think the sounds need some work (or at least a lower volume).

capsizedmoose 2014-08-25 21:46

it was hard. hard and buggy xD

snicklodocus 2014-08-25 21:48

Very charming! Took me a while to figure out what to do, but I liked exploring the planets once I did. I actually liked trying to figure out what to do, although the screws could stand out a bit more. Good job!

haveric 2014-08-25 22:28

That was quite strange, and once I got the control panel figured out, the rest was just really repetitive until I got the world with all the gems selected, went into a building, and then black screen. Is this the end? I really don't know.

hozar 2014-08-25 22:30

Love the running animation!

01010111 2014-08-25 22:50

Loved the walkcycle! I was only able to make it to one planet though :<

robinerd 2014-08-25 23:37

Think I managed to finish it finally! Nice concept.

miziziziz 2014-08-26 00:41

I had fun with this after I figured out how to work the computer.
Note: the game bugs out if I press launch while I'm landing.
I liked the touch with the water world after you take the gem ;)
Wish you could've added more interesting things to the other planets.
Oh yeah, and the walk sound is annoying ;)

btw, what was the gun for?
and hint to everyone else: the crossed out planets are ones that don't have gems on them; I had thought they were ones that I had been to.
I made it to his house, pretty depressing planet :)

bobrocks 2014-08-26 02:32

Interesting take on the theme. I like the ridiculous graphics, audio was good. I like puzzle games like this. Popping off control panels and such! Old school bread and butter!

creative630 2014-08-26 02:33

So far, this has been my favourite LD30 entry! Love the art style and mood. Reminded me a little of The Neverhood which is a total win. Really can stress enough how much I love the mood of this!

gafblizzard 2014-08-26 07:27

Mysterious! I did not manage to figure out the computer once I got the cover off, though.

arttut02 2014-08-26 08:35

Too clever for me. Didn't know what to do. I loved that really weird graphics and animations, and the audio.. well it suited the graphics. Very interesting... and odd ;).

sneeuwpopsneeuw 2014-08-26 09:03

Some in game hinds would be nice.

fallingbear 2014-08-26 15:56

Neat game, though the walking sound gives me the creeps :D

local-minimum 2014-08-26 18:26

I really liked the way the character was walking but I simply did not understand what to do / how to navigate the ship.

esayitch 2014-08-26 19:53

Highly moody atmospheric. Graphics are A+. I felt a but lost and being an impatient person this isn't what I would normally elect to play, but I see the charm and it is very well-made :D Good luck!

beardogames 2014-08-26 21:01

Wow, fantastic! It was a blast to just mess around with for quite some time, and the graphics are seriously triply and awesome. Excellent!

yodamaster 2014-08-27 16:50

Couldn't figure it out. Maybe make it easier in the beginning, and getting harder later.

atomicvikings 2014-08-27 19:11

Awesome walk animation, could look at it for hours! shame the game is so short. would like to have seen more :D

udo 2014-08-27 19:11

Loved it. I almost missed how to move the ship, though. And that black screen is really the end?

jupiter_hadley 2014-08-27 20:50

Love the graphics! I included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/KmqpyEAAVGM

honcho 2014-08-28 19:49

Really confused on what to do. I took out the panel on my control system and picked up the stone and clicked on the buttons but didn't know what to do after.

mechanicmoon 2014-08-29 00:51

character design is amazing authentic but i dont cant activate the ship! thats make me feel sad.. and very idiot :(

mrexcessive 2014-08-29 18:55

Hi there. Really like your game. The crazy graphics, the machine, the circuits, the galactic map - or whatever it is. Bookmarked for another look later. Good job!

saintheiser 2014-08-30 03:08

Intriguing idea and interesting world travel mechanic. But too laggy. At some moment computer interface not closed and staying on creen overlaying backgounds. So the character walked on the computer interface, HAH!

ltyrosine 2014-08-30 05:56

Impressive the atmosphere that this game creates with so little. Bizarre worlds with bizarre things, you can't even figure out what you are! Immersion is helped (maybe inadvertently) with the time spent inside "ship" trying to make the computer work.

Amazing game.

safar-pavel 2014-09-02 18:10

Great pixel art.

egor-idiot 2014-09-15 09:00

Didn't get idea what to do, but liked mood and animation of moving %)

pjchardt 2014-09-15 14:38

Great entry! I had some trouble at first understanding what to do, I feel like the visual language is muddled and it is hard as a player to read the computer. However, I really enjoy the idea, execution (outside of visual language) and mood of this game. Really great concept. Nice work!

lokarunith 2014-09-15 15:06

Magnific atmosphere. I had a lot of fun figuring out how the traveling system works.
