This is an interesting game, I like the darkness aspect that makes it feel very exploratory, so it was fun to have a look round the level. However the control scheme is a little non-intuitive and the enemies were a pain to get past and my character would often get stuck on them. Otherwise good job! :)

Quick reminder to get more players: Use a thumbnail for your game. Otherwise your game is presented with this grey box. Some great Games are not played because of a missing thumbnail ... You can still change it by editing your submission page :)

I like this game, I like the space rats, :p, the UI is polished, and I can see that you spent a lot of work on this game because it really shows, I like the amount of content, and I like the game in general! :D [although there was a technical problem which was that the resolution was messed up, so I couldn't really finish the game sadly] And it's a shame that you only have 3 votes, however, since I see that this is your first jam, Here are some tips that I think you should try and do in your next game-jam

1. Make a web version, the majority of people don't want to download a game and would much rather play it in the browser, so if possible it would be great if you could make a web version, since then more people are more likely to play it!

2. Play & Rate & Comment on other people's games, I see that you have rated 0 games so far and I get that, you're probably busy, or you just don't have the motivation to play other people's games, but it's worth it. For starters, you'll be more active in the community! You'll try other people's games that they made over the weekend, and, one of the main things is that if you play other peope's games, then your game is more likely to get recommended, Ludum Dare has a system where depending on how much games you played the more likely it is that your game will be recommended to people, and apart from that system if people see that you played their game they will generally try out your game as well! so I highly suggest that you play other people's LudumDare submissions.

3. Market your game! what I mean by this is post your game in [game dev] discords, on the Ludum Dare front page [by making a new blog post] etc. but don't go overboard, if you overpromote people might get sick of you constantly promoting your own game, try to promote your game enough so that people see it, but not too much so that people get sick of it.

4. Make a tutorial for your game! if you don't have the time to put it in the game, then you can write on the ludum dare post the controls, what's your objective, etc. That way people can know what they need to do in the game [I was a bit confused with the controls for this game at the start, I wasn't sure how to move!]

5. And finally, have fun, this one is a bit of a cliche, but a point of a game jam is to have fun! to learn new things while making a cool game and participating in an event. I geniunly hope to see you in Ludum Dare 47 with your new gamejam game! seeya then :D
