I love idle games. It might be better if you had messages on a delay timer. That way you could walk away without having to click through all of the transmission messages... but still sit a read them if you wanted to.

I think you did a nice job on mission generation. Some of the transmissions are pretty comical too!

This was fun, although mission planning probably isn't my calling. I made it to the moon in one piece, but forgot I had to get back. Ooops :D

Really well planned with a great simulations!

ahh I couldn't get back to earth ): i liked this idea! its not as much as controlling the spaceship but everything else that revolves space travelling, i think its pretty innovative.

Nice and very thought out. Good job.

Both my crew members were called Antone, which ruined the RP a bit. And my food didn't seem to decrease while on the moon.

This is a great concept. Something fleshed out to have more events and longer missions (with the ability to ignore transmissions as suggested) would really be a fun game.

I have a bit of beef with the fact that bad morale results in losing. It would be better as a modifier of the other stats, not outright catastrophic failure.

The food should be differentiated from the fuel by lower rate of consumption, methinks. Otherwise you have two resources that are basically the same and never interact with one another.

Overall though, quite good!

Nice simulation. Took a few tries to get home.

Cool little variation on the Oregon Trail theme. I liked the more humorous transmissions!

Great concept ! :)

Really nice game.

Fantastic, I got involved with the story. Great idea and script. I think the game could proceed after being destroyed, without having to go back from the beginning. The background music is good.

Very good game!, clever, well thought and hilarious too! you should make it bigger and sell it :D

Greate game idea and I like the user interface, simple yet effective!

ali312 2014-12-10 20:10

This game is breathtaking
I was so curious about what happens next
Great job!

heracek 2014-12-10 20:13

Fun and great atmosphere! ;)

Good Work ^^

Very nice. Advanced Oregon trail IN SPACE.

Great game and nice simulation ¡HOUSTON we have a problem with this game...is addictive!

This was great fun. Reminds me a lot of Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space. Space travel at the mercy of the random number generator. Also, is there anything sadder than a one man food fight?

Interesting idea. Thought I was doing okay on my first play through, then realised I'd forgotten about getting home again from Mars. Oops. Second time around Lily had a suspicious amount of birthdays but the crew made it back in one piece.

Fun.

Nice simulation and great take on the "behind the scene" of a spacial mission.

Cool game. I suck at these kind of management games though. Love all the little details though. Good job. Mood was pretty great too, audio fit well. :)

Mars is mine guys! I'm seriously! xD
