Really fun game! I wish it would "scan area" automatically... got kinda old pressing that button over and over...

Really fun game! I wish it would "scan area" automatically... got kinda old pressing that button over and over...
nice game, i like it!
I love this type of game, I like where this is going, and I'm looking forward to seeing further developments. The music is trippy!
Seems like there was power creep in the development of this game. It feels like it wants to be a sidescroller FTL, or maybe a final fantasy FTL mashup. What is with the characters in the upper right corner. It didn't matter that they were there. The events are a cool concept, but nothing matters in them. I like all the stats and things you need to keep track of, but the scope of this project was just too big to take on.
I think this game needs more things to do. I traveled for long distances and nothing showed up. There are only traders, which normally are trying to sell you junk (other one exchanged me 30 ammo for 10 ammo). More kinds of events, and more decisions. But it's a fine game. Reminds me of something...
And yeah. Scan area should be automatic.
Oregon trail in space. Nice idea and good execution.
It's a neat game, I didn't really have the patience for it, but it looked really really cool.
Honestly I clicked this expecting something about Kevin Spacey, but I wasn't dissapointed anyway. The game was fun, I can always do with more Oregon Trail in my life
That was pretty cool....although I had like 5 pirates answer my distress call in a row :) Nice game.
I, too, wish it did scan area automatically. But it was a fun game. I would have enjoyed it more if that did happen, though.
Hit by solar flares seconds from the end. Heartbreaking.
Dropbox seems to have crapped out on the web version
It is interesting, but it has too many dead moments waiting for something to happen.
I could see this going somewhere, but a little slow for me. Great job overall.
Traded someone 10 ammo for 20 ammo woohoo! Very fun game, music works well.
A few technical issues (I evade a pirate by cloaking but I still take damage... is it on purpose ? It should be mentioned then. + traders agree to trade for fewer resources than what they ask for)
A few balance issues (food is useless, health is too generous, scanning is far too dangerous, just do nothing and wait when out of fuel)
But overall it's good :)
Nice game.
It was pretty easy to get through, but a cool idea. Oregon Trail in space, or FTL minus the tactical elements. My only major issue, is the travel time. Waiting between encounters doesn't really provide anything interesting. So I would either want to jump right from encounter to encounter, or have something to do as the ship pilot (avoid asteroids?). Well done.
I'm a big fan of the whole "Oregon Trail IN SPACE!" idea, but it feels kinda empty, and it could do with some basic bug-checking to make sure the shops and traders don't scam you.
A bit passive gameplay, but it is a solid foundation to work on.
Fun game! I liked, but it is so hard to find food :/
It seems several games have tried to bring the Oregon Trail idea to space. This was a good attempt, especially considering the time frame. It would be nice to see more consistance in the graphics. Graphics don't have to look great, but in this game they seemed to be scaled to different resolutions which bothered me. Overall good work, and with a bit more work and polish this could be a pretty great game.
Excellent. I ran through the game once on easy, and it was cool. The music really makes the mood, and the graphics all fit perfectly together. I liked the occasional weird thing that would sail by in the background.
Merchants who want to trade 50 of their ammo for 10 of mine... are maybe collectors? Ammo enthusiasts trying to accumulate space-bullets from every corner of the galaxy.
Nice game. Really good music too. Not my type of game but I can see it is well made, very good.
I like the idea of Oregon Trail in space very much. Waiting for a bigger version (with more assets visualizing everything, maybe some planet exploring, huh?) :)
This reminds me a lot of a specific game where you travel exactly in this graphical way, food, etc, but I can't think of it. Either way, I liked the style and implementation!
nice, reminds me of Oregon Trail in space
Why can I buy stuff from traders and people who want to help me with money I don't have? o:
Cool game! There's a bug though where you can trade with traders even if you do not have enough of what they want.
nice...
