Nice puzzle game, liked the graphics a lot and the vibe of it together with the music. A mysterious and lonely feeling, solving a puzzle to get something better than a steak.

Nice graphic and music

Lovely graphics and even better soundtrack. I can not exit the game properly, I get myself into objects pretty easily such as the batteries, the cremator roof is not solid and you fall in from the top of the rover.

I am enjoying my time here! Keep going guys!

The story line is interesting and creates good expectation. My computer had performance problem so I could not solve the puzzles. Music is really nice.

I'm a youtuber, your game is very nice! I want to make a video with the best games of LDJam46. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOdTsWE7iIk . Can I find your game also on indiexpo website? The channel is linked with them.

I get a bit lost, but nice game ! Thank you for it !

Absolutely love the visuals! Though I was thoroughly confused about what I was supposed to be doing in the game. I didn't feel as if I had enough direction to engage with the game properly, which is a shame because I really wanted to get deeper into it.

Very nice game guys !

Loved the puzzle side of the game a lot. Made me think enough to care about what to give that poor alien. Graphics were great. Also liked the backstory at the beginning. That was a nice touch!

Great music choice too !

One of the drawbacks for me was the theme. I didn't really feel like I was keeping the poor alien alive but more helping him. I took my time fetching the furniture he needed to power-up its ship but never felt the rush of anything. Adding a timer of some type of countdown would have probably help on that side.

I'm stuck with metal gloves. I loose all gloves and I have no idea how to make them metal. But I still in love in the mood of the game. For me it is enough to stand on crawler and feel how it moves throught the desert world. Really moody atmosphere.

Oh, and I forgot to thank you for puzzles with insuficient information. It provokes to thinking :o)

That was a great puzzle! But I was disappointed at the end that there was no ending? It seems like the demands from the alien just looped back at the start.

However, it was really a good experience! Good job!

Cool graphics, and the music fits pretty well, at first is a little bit difficult to understand, but onece you have gave the aliens some items for fuel you start understanding it better. Well done!

Nice game.

Puzzle symbols & objects were clear enough, a bit harder to differentiate for the material ones. Can't think of why I would have a paint shower in the middle of my vehicle but who cares ^^. I think the symbols are randomly selected, got a lot of couches and wet but no use of the burning station in the back or so many other elements.

Good job !

I really liked the game. Nice job!

What a lovely day! Thanks for the game, love the atmosphere of being lonely sci-fi character :)

A very good looking game! I didn't quiet get it all yet, but I definately will. Sometime.

Decorating the truck at the moment :D coach.png

Really great piece of work and effort indeed. Congratulations!

It is a cool sight to be able to stand on top a moving rover and watch the landscape fly by. The atmosphere and art style of the game is pretty good. I like that it is a puzzle game and challenge you to think as you play, and it is challenging in my opinion. The direction wasn't very clear at first, but it is simple enough, I just couldn't figure out the second puzzles. Nevertheless, solid work and great game!

Nice game! I like this graphics. It has many bugs, but gameplay is cool!

fatpenguin 2020-05-04 18:18

I really like the idea and art :D also the environment looks great! I just couldn't figure out what to do with the steak once I grabbed it? I ended up throwing it away and was annoyed lol. If the developers could shine some light on that I would love to try it out again and then vote on it :D cheers!

@fatpenguin Thanks for the kind words! The green slimy thing on the ship demands the meat, just throw it at him!
