Hi there. First of all... hahaha ! Like the presentation, the idea of balancing spam emails with asteroid dodging, is great. Nice sounds. Very funny and well on theme entry, good job!
very cool presentation, i loved the HUD
Well done
Really like the multitasking idea, though I didn't understand it well at first, it got really fun.
Cool game! Really solid graphics, fun mechanic. Downsides maybe that it was a bit hard to figure out how certain mechanics worked (but once you knew they were fun :D), that sounds were unclear in the beginning and that the audio is kind of irritating in general... But I really enjoyed playing it! Really innovative.
-Not exactly a one screen game :(
-Quantum Mechanics humor is always a winner :)
-Soundtrack is a little annoying :(
-Funny voice SFX :)
-Funny E-mail mechanic :)
Very well written! I think the concept was fun but the game fell a bit short.
Quite amusing storyline, doesn't everyone hate space spam? :D
Clear HUD with easy to pick up controls. Solid game, great job :)
Funny how spam gets in the way!
I didn't liked the sountrack :C
But overall, original, fun and well presented! Congratulations!
I hope I get it :)
After 2 minutes of gameplay, my computer was explode. But it was realy fun 2 minutes
Good job!
The game was really funny, especially with all the spam email from the "Martian Prince" and the "Tentacle Enlargement Pills". The graphics were quite nice too and I liked the interpretation of the theme. The sound seemed OK, but not the greatest. Overall, it was really fun!
Hehe very entertaining. And hard! Took me a few tries to really get the point but it made me smile :)
Great game! I loved the humor and the game design. Juggling between panels was tough at first but I loved the idea of email spamming :) Good job
That was fun! Really hard but fun :D
Also +1 for the mouth-made sounds ;)
Excellent in every way. Good idea, graphics, sound, and it's fun to play.
Very original and fun, a bit too hard on the mircomanagement, after several attempts I could only last 1:22 but it was enjoyable and noteworthy for sure:) just wish it was a hair less hard
Great game but very hard! :)
HAHA loved the sound effects!. Cool idea I dig it! great job, artwork and audio really gave this game character!
I really liked the idea of having to balance spam emails and keeping my engine stable. Audio could have used work, other than that, good job!
Have you ever played Space Alert (or Galaxy Trucker, which is set in the same universe)? Space Alert's a cooperative board game. Your game has a bit of a similar feel to it, in story and mechanics. Which is pretty cool.
The stability mechanic took me a little to figure out. What I was supposed to do there (rapid tapping, not just one direction or the other) to control it wasn't immediately clear.
Really cool concept, I'm a big fan of the "Martian Prince" emails :)
I had some fun with this game. I played on Linux, and some of the UI elements were bugged, but that may have just been me so I will idsregard it. Overall it was a pretty good game. I always found myslef getting relaxed, tabbing through each page not having any problems. I would think it was smooth sailing, until I would linger too long on one and accidentally fail from another. A fun mechanic. Well done.
the multi tasking game is really well executed.
Fun, good sound and music and polished
Good job
This is hectic, and frustrating, and awesome. It's a lot of fun, and you feel at least a percentage like what any normal person would probably feel like shoved into a spaceship with no training. The audio is clean, the interface is smooth, and the turn around time on failure keeps you coming back to try again. Great job.
The sounds are awesome. Good graphics, nice music, and cool innovation!
Great fun, the writing/humor/presentation was brilliant, and the sounds hilarious :). Really enjoyed my experience with this, great job :).
Nice concept, but not sure how to cool down in tab2
Galactic Buddies indeed! I wasn't so sure about this when I saw a wall of text at the beginning, but you sure sold me on it with the humor and concept. I think I would have preferred sounds from bfxr for computer noises, but the ones you have were properly game-jam charming. The gameplay was great and I would have like to play more but I was unsure how to keep the engine stable. Overall high marks from me, great job!
Nice! really funny!
Ok, so it seems my quantum mechanics knowledge is alright, but at fail at managing my e-mail hahahahahaha! that spam is worst than driving into asteriods xD
Loved the humor and funny vfx !! good job guys :)
The time warp sound effect was the best. Awesome concept for one screen. How do you stabilize the engines?
Brilliant! I loved the email subjects in particular, but the entire thing is spot-on hilarious. Also, those sound effects :D Minor point: I didn't quite understand how the stabilizer worked -- it just seemed to flip the amplitude of the sine wave around.
Took me a moment to realize how everything works but then it was a blast, the multitasking was surprisingly fun. Grea art and the sounds were funny.
great idea - loved the home made sounds - added to my play again list
good idea..
good idea but it's kind of tedius
Not my type of game but i like it, good job :)
Cool game concept - well done!
I am thinking exactly what @intersectiongames is thinking, this reminds me a lot of Space Alert! It's a hilarious board game where you need to do silly stuff like jiggle the mouse in the control room once in a while or the screen saver will come on and sleep your computers.
Very nice presentation, hilarious sound effects, and enjoyable (if difficult) gameplay. Loved the emails too! :)
Fun game with cool mechanics nice job
Exelent game. Congratulations, dude!
The game don't run on my PC (got some weird rendering issues directly after the "Powered by Unity"-splash. It looks impressive from what I can see on the screenshots and read in the comments nontheless.
Hahaha nice entry! The concept it's pretty good and innovative, and the game is very funny (especially audios). Besides, I think it fits very well with the theme. Good work! And my best is 1:39 so far.
nice, very clever, love how the voice was used for sound effects, very funny, well done
Heh, looks like we have the same taste in 48 hour game making concepts :) Really liked it, especially the graphics and sound effects. Good job! Thanks!
That was pretty cool! I really like the graphics of the UI and the juggling and maintaining between tabs to keep yourself alive. The audio set the mood well and some of those emails were pretty funny! Well done!
450 KB gotta be enough for a spaceship, no?
Nice multitasking game, though I would have liked if there would have been an actual target destination to fly to, instead of only avoiding asteroids. The engine tab is a bit confusing at first, but can easily be solved by rapidly spamming spacebar and left and right arrowkeys. And why is there no keyboard shortcut for deleting emails, it was kinda annoying having to switch to the mouse for that.
My best was probably somewhere around 5 minutes, but then the screen suddenly faded black, and the game restarted...
For some reason the web version didn't run for me in Chrome. :(
This game is simply awesome!
This is no easy but really fun! While playing it reminds the complicated trivial life we have here on earth. Love it very much！
That was hilarious and well done.. Full points to everything!
Ha! That was fun! Loved that deleting spam is so critical. Almost made it to 3 minutes! xD
Interesting idea, I didn't understand clearly in the beginning. Nice sound effects!
Head little game, I think this could make a super interesting and hectic game and you could add a ton of new elements to it. Although, it seemed like steering my ship wasn't working so I kept hitting asteroids. I was clicking the button, but wasn't sure if it was doing anything. Perhaps some better feedback like button press effects or sounds would help. Maybe this was a bug though, I played the Mac version.
Funny game and I love the music and sound effects!
I couldn't read the intro text because the scrollbar kept gravitating to the top, and coolant didn't work (pressing space switched to the email tab)
Great use of humour in this.
First, I thought I should read the emails, but didnt get how=) Only later I realised it just spam, hah=))
Very humorous sound by the way=)
No time to read emails, no time to take care of the engine, no time for... Arrrrggh, dead. Again.
Is it possible to reach the end of the trip without exploding in little pieces lying in space ? I wonder, but I'm not sure. Fun game anyways. :D
Hehe, loved the sound effects, died a few times thanks to those damn asteroids but got the hang of it pretty quickly. Awesome entry!
Great interface and generally vvery polished entry!Love the music too :)
Good game, right amount of challenge and fun. Sounds were hilarous, background theme maybe a bit repetitive but otherwise good.
Gameplay was interesting but felt a bit cluttered at times (like having to delete each email seperatly, while doding asteroids).
Otherwise good game!
Lots going on there ... I get get a little lost. Nice sound effects, though the background sound which you could mute was getting a little on my nerves ;) Overall nice one.
Funny little time waster, I enjoyed the sounds and overall humor.
Haha, spam in space... game... spaceship... don't thik i have seen that before. Is this what they are doing up at ISS?
Really great submission, the humor was definitely on point. I laughed out loud at the mail subject titles. Clicked a lot of buttons and couldn't really figure out how to play, but I dig the idea. Good job! :)
Neat multitasking concept--it took a few games to understand all the subsystems (especially stability and email) but I like how the challenge ramped up.
pretty fun! I liked the management between everything and the silliness of it.
Hahah the sound effects were very much fun! Also nice music and graphics. I wish there was win ending or something.
Very funny. I can't even survive 30 sec though.
Awesome!!
Great entry!!
I loved this game. It was really really fun steering the ship. Multitasking in general felt really good. It had incredibly subtle and great humor ("tentacle enlargement pills!). XD
I wish there was some kind of ending or checkpoints to hit. But that's a good complaint because I just want more! The look and sound to the game was very cute as well! There was a charm to it that I couldn't explain. Very well done! :D
Fun Multitasking, reminded me of my game. Appreciate the useful HUD, and quick task switching.
lol the sfx!
