Awesome! Near-perfect Atari port of NMS. Infinite jump is cool- Love the ship controls on the planet- tho- a way to call back the ship after you jump out and it sails off into oblivion would be nice... Of course, that'll probably come in the NES port!
Very nice artstyle and sound design! Also surprisingly polished AND you had time left over! Great job :)
Runs smooth.
Funny Pop culture references.
Entire game is a big joke about No mans sky.
No enemies that I could find.
I want a refund for this D:
You don't need to put the program debug database in the zip file :D... Great game
Great Game!
I love it! Something so cute about it! Great work!
Nice job of remaking (demaking?) NMS in very retro atari-like graphics! The game runs smooth too.
That's actually pretty damn cool. You could post this to the NoMansSkyTheGame subreddit, too. I bet they'd be interested in the game.
It tickles.
It tickles.
It tickles.
This game is awsome !
Better than original. Great job!
Nothing can give me an authentic No Man's Sky experience better than Old Man's Sky!! I love it! Countless hours of so much fun! I can't believe this was only made in a few days, it's amazing. Nice work!
By far my favorite game of the jam/compo so far. (Even though it doesn't have anything to do with ancient technology.)
Disappointed that planets don't wrap around, I was hoping to find my ship eventually.
Amazing work!
Great atmosphere, well done :)
No aliens. I.e. noone to be found. Noone to be found in the universe. Noone to be found in the sky... No Man in the Sky... This game does No Man's Sky better than No Man's Sky.
Controlls and overall look and feel enchant with remarkable smoothness. Well done!
The best possible No man's sky pixel game which could be done in one weekend. It has a great atmosphere and is fun to play for a while.
Oh and btw: my name is George ._.
Amazing parody (?) of No Man's Sky. The art is really pretty. If only there were music...
Overall the game is really well polished and very much so cleverly made. Great job. Is everything procedural?
@peterthehe
There should be music in the game though?
But to answer your question:
The planets, stars, planet surfaces, organisms and alien bases are procedural.
Great work!
Not much gameplay, but I have to point out the controls are better than most games I've tried, it's responsive, fast and just feels really good to use
It feels very smooth and polished.
Thank you for saving me 60 dollars on No Man Sky.
Very cool graphics, sound. The joke, on No man's sky is cool.
It's fun to move around in the ship, but you better make sure you have no momentum while getting off the ship, unless you want to see it glide awayyyyyyyyyy ^^
Come on bro? No multiplayer?!?!?! Hehe just kidding nice submission. Nice idea.
Wow! Great game! Exactly what No Man's Sky is like
I understand that reference dot gif
I like the variety of the text, made me laugh as well as the punny title.
Hi, nice game and congratulations ! the title remembers me no man's sky :D coincidence ? XD Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.
What a relaxing game, 60$-worth!
Cool retro vibe, better than NMS :D
This is just amazing. Perfect capture. However you're doing this, keep doing it, because it's awesome.
Expected someone to make a game with "No Man's Sky" reference, but not in my wildest dreams did I see this coming! Oh snap! I like everything about this game!
So close of no man sky, I nearly asked for a refund!
Smooth and fluid controls, well done! Getting in and out of the spacecraft was fun! We were disappointed that some of the small planets had no thingies on them. Nice take on the original. Fun flavor text on the plants (the bushes especially). Would have been nice to have some hills on the planets, but them being bland was probably kind of the point :P
Haha, funny game! I can't actually afford No Man's Sky, nor would i buy it anyway, so this was a cool little thingo.
aha ok.. it looks like No Man's Sky got quite a few parodies xD It could be a really good game with some new mechanics! The feeling is already satisfying as is, and you have quite a sweet humor :) Well done!
I can run it with my graphic card, awesome.
This retro version maybe is more punchy that the original one, well done, George is a good name for anything. Good job on music.
Lovely atmosphere, and I ADORE the parallax stars. Best
part of the game. Had to look up to make sure the 2600 could handle Parallax, and it could so well done. More variety is my only qualm. Great!
I like the biomes, color style and that ground gradient.
Ship looks like a fly insect to me.
Very relaxing and visually appealing. Great game, loved it.
I really liked this game, the music was relaxing, I liked piloting the ship, I liked the moving stars, I liked George. Really nice game!
Short and sweet!
like the orginal nothing to do makes fun for 2 min and looks fine
The comments on all your discoveries are pretty funny. Not the best NMS parody I've played this jam, but it fit the theme much better than the other one.
Very good game ! The concept is awesome, I think that it will be important to add puzzles to the game !!!
Awesome parody/demake of NMS. I thought it captured the look of the Atari 2600 quite well, though not the sound obviously. Some really harsh random noise and buzzing would have made it for me. Although the music is nice. A bit more purpose and variety would have been even better, but then it wouldn't have skewered NMS so perfectly.
Better gfx and more content delivered than in the original, great job.
