Did you forget a link?

They aren't publishing along with the submission. I added them to the post for good measure, but it'll take a moment to propagate.

Cool game, cool idea! I found a few bugs with the green-jump things, though (in my second attempt I couldn't jump on it to reach a higher panel, in my third attempt I was falling and hit the green wall and then I was floating and jump didn't work - then dead).

@aaforcebox Thanks for the feedback! It was our first time working with Unity2D and ran across its numerous physics issues. Didn't have enough time to fix them all I'm afraid :(

Character could have used an actual walking animation but other than that, nice game, good concept.

I like the music. The jumping felt a little weird, I found I was able to momentum myself very high from the walljumping blocks. I really like the concept of running around the outer hull of a spacestation. It made choosing where to go next feel very interesting/satisfying.

I really enjoyed playing this game and i like this space movement! Some animations would have been nice.

@varelsegames The wrapping world is my favorite feature we added, glad you enjoyed it too :grin:

I'm on a laptop, so I could read the instructions. Enjoyed playing though. Good game with really good music and graphics.

Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare game.

I like the game concept a lot. Running around, trying to survive just long enough while having to repair those solar panels, that was a lot of fun! I really wanted to beat this game, but didn't manage, sadly, because I encountered a lot of bugs that had me restart the game. One bug that got me twice was that when you fall in here: bug.png you won't get out there (you're stuck floating in the air without the ability to jump). Another time I wasn't able to jump anymore, not sure why, but it was at this wall: bug2.png.

With a version that is a little bit more polished, and maybe with more consistent graphics, this would be a really great game! But despite its problems it was still a lot of fun to play.

great work!!

Nice relaxing music makes for quite the cathartic experience as you wander through this (space station I assume) and fix solar panels. Nice job!

amatwiedle 2017-08-03 02:43

@apace I noticed that first bug immediately after the submission period ended :cry:, but thanks for the feedback!

@dreadloaf Exactly the mood I was aiming for, thanks! :smile:

good first submission i liked the relax background music. Moving and especially jumping felt a bit weird. And a good walk animation would have definitively made the game feel more complete. Was fun to play.

Very nice, the tone of it felt spot on

c0nst4ntin 2017-08-03 15:31

I liked the music and the graphics were alright too. Overall nice game!

A pretty interesting game~ Admittedly, the 'help' screen was quite the mess, but I got the hang of it eventually. The platforming was... kinda weird, but it did have a space-walk kind of feel to it, so I guess it worked a little in favour of fitting the mood! Quite a difficult game with the odd platforming, but otherwise not bad at all~

Says data folder not found if I launch it in itch.io app. I think it could be better communicated as to how you fail - instead of having to hold shift, perhaps that could be displayed by default on-screen? Got stuck at a section where my jump suddenly failed (not sure if intentional - as I was able to jump by retracing my steps). The floaty platformer jump fit the game but the double jump didn't feel that responsive. Pretty good atmosphere, I like the sunglasses although it felt a bit jarring.

Too sad that there is no walk animation. The idea is nice and the game could have been fun. I liked the spark effect.
