Cool idea!
This game has great visuals, great audio, and the idea is also really neat! The only thing I found slightly difficult are the controls, I find them a bit unintuitive and confusing, but other than that it is a really great game and has potential! A bit of polishing and maybe an addition of few soundtracks would give the game lots of depth, imo! Really great work! :D
Awesome graphics, really really cool, love the ambience, and the game is super fun! Very good job! (loved the eclipse detail)
Ha, I finally managed to win after 5 tries ! Did not notice that "too cold" was "not cool".
I had fun, I like the lonely ambiance and the meteors are really cool. Very nice graphics and discreet but efficient sound design. My only complaint would be the choice of controls which feel weird, like the way you switch to use/build actions is mapped to vertical axis of the stick ?
Very polished game and the feel is amazing. Dashing around is very fun for me.
I liked it. Controls are tricky at the beginning but the game is good: mechanincs, art, mood.
lovely visuals, nice audio, managed to win on my 5th try. It's rather difficult, I found that the cooler was actually making the planet too cold, didn't win til i stopped trying to make them, i did get one run where the trees caught fire so maybe it's for special circumstances rather than a necessity. very much like the game, a nice little project, well done!
The graphics were very very nice. The sounds were good and the gameplay loop was solid. I think I found a glitch though, both my gauges were in the green at the end and it said I failed? Also the controls were a bit weird, I didn't really like having to use control. Overall very nice though.
Thanks for your feedbacks ! @diinki @sylvainpv @sadzanenyama Can you tell me what disturbed you with the controls ? I tested it with a PS4 controller and it looked fine to me, is it something related to false inputs when moving / selection the action (bad deadzone on the controller), or you just thing the layout is unintuitive.
@shugor Hum the cooler is supposed to not lower the temperature below a specific value, but I probably forgot to double check this value after setting the win/loose conditions ... . The trees caught fire when the planet becomes too hot (or you can set them on fire as a desperate move to keep the temperature ok before the end of the game)
@sadzanenyama There's probably an offset between the color of the gauges and the win/loose values, I'll check that.
@poupi I think it should not be necessary to "switch mode" to be able to interact, you could put all the possible actions on the same menu, and have a single interaction button. On my first game, this switch action was confusing, I thought there was a bug.
@poupi Yeah, the layout of the controls just felt unintuitive to me
haha, what a cute game :) reminds me of a game we did a while back, but in a different fashion, about keeping a planet alive :) but you have a little wall-e guy, which is super cute :D the graphics were beautiful and the game was fun, it was a bit complicated to figure out first, but I know how nobody has enough time with gamejams hehe, if you continue to work on it which I would encourage you to do I would start slowly and let the player get accustomed to a certain task before continuing, accompanied with texts explaining what to do etc :) all in all a solid entry, you can be proud of yourself, especially because you did it on your own! :O
the visuals are really dope! Combining temperature and oxygen in that way was really smart! I got really engaged for a while well done!
I really enjoyed the game! I loved the graphics on the hazards, the sounds were great, and I thought the concept was really cool. The only thing I think that could be improved were the controls, or just making it more obvious what the player is doing at any given moment, whether that be harvesting resources or building. But overall, really nice job!
I really enjoyed trying to figure out what to do, every time I found a new thing or option it gave a sense of progression. I am getting some Wall-e vibes (and that's a great compliment)! The audio is really nice, and the graphics are great as well. I specially loved the Solar eclipse effect, and the meteors that crashed down felt really impact.
Pleased to report that this little robot finished it's mission successfully!

Great job! :smile:
I tried over and over but couldn't quite succeed in my mission :( Still, the sounds were wonderful, the visuals were fantastic and there is quite a lot of meat here for an LD entry, so be proud of that!
If it's the kind of project you were thinking of building on, have my blessing :P It would be neat to play an expanded version!
Very nice game. Still not won after a few attempts. I did once end up completely stuck as my only trees were destroyed by a meteor and I didn't have any seeds left. I am playing using keyboard and I also agree that the controls seem a little weird. I would have found it easier if it was either enter to select or maybe a different button to trigger each action. Either way the controls just didn't seem to work naturally to me.
Overall though a very fun and different game.
Interesting concept! The game has very cute graphics and I felt great while playing! Good job :)
The game is Truly beautiful, the animation with the solar eruption is amazing ! The sound design is also reality good.
The only downside is the difficulty of the task, but not impossible. Amazing job !
Great game!!! The enviourment and the mood of the space in the game is awesome! Really really likje the effects of Sun Light, Asteroid Impact, etc! Good job!
AMAZING GAME!!! The opeartion is very fluent, and the graphic and mood are just wonderful . I failed the mission at first time but after that I read through the guidance, and I had lots of fun build my own little world. Great job ! by the way, the design of the star runing around the other to create shifts between day and night is so impressive. It's a nice detail as part of the world view of the game!
Wonderful graphics, atmosphere, and gameplay. It's a bit challenging, I think in part due to the unusual keyboard controls. I had a ton of fun, but I'd definitely recommend using more conventional keyboard+mouse controls in the future!
This is a lovely resource management game, the objective is easy to understand after you actually read the posted instructions. Controls were a little wonky (not used to using Ctrl for much these days) but easy to adapt to. Sound and level design were great. Overall very enjoyable!
