It's a good for a jam game but there is no tutorial or guide. There is some speech at the beginning but it's not enough. There isn't a indicator that shows you what objects you can move and what object you cannot. I stuck after placing 3 electric sign box.
I couldn't get very far because I didn't really know what to do, but I'll say something about what I've seen so far. **Graphics**: It looks quite good aesthetically, but I didn't know what anything was. That made it very hard to decide what to do without instructions of some kind. The character looks quite funny and I liked him a lot. **Audio**: I guess the music is pretty good and the sound effects work. Not much to say here. **Gameplay**: So, this is where you lost me a bit. I moved around for a while (which feels way too sloppy by the way), jumped around (which also felt very sloppy) and didn't know what to do. I clicked on some parts and dragged them around, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with them. I didn't find anything to right-click on either. So this is basically as far as I got. I feel like I'm missing something here, but I think you just need better instructions for your game.
Controls are a bit wonky. The character looks very creepy which I like :D Expected a more satisfying ending :)
Hoy!
Pretty good graphics and sounds, but game mechanics feel a bit off imho
As others testers, the controls aren't precise enough, and moving the character around is quite frustrating (very slow and the jump is quite short, same for the gravity grab).
I managed to go near the end just wandering on the planet and solving puzzle, but I pretty much broke the game at a moment ( two pieces of the white ship just "weld" together in a strange way, pretty weird ahah ^ ^)
Besides that, it still enjoyable to play, but you should care more about controls next time.
The main character was a riot, although I wish he could jump a little better. After collecting the three electric blocks I wasn't sure what to do so I didn't progress any farther. I enjoyed the old-school adventure game feeling of not knowing what was going on and just experimenting, but it was a little bit opaque.
Very interesting game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ-D40BBNhA
