One of the coolest games! Fun to play

mrredbeard 2020-10-05 21:59

Hahaha nice!

comari 2020-10-05 22:07

Very cool game - love the artwork you used.

helen 2020-10-05 23:24

It was really fun to play! Thanks for the arrow where I parked my space shuttle otherwise I would have been lost :) - graphics and music fit in so well!

eckkert 2020-10-05 23:46

Our sister game. :) Thumbs up from one "running around on a planet with a temperature bar" team to another.

All I get on Web Unity (ubuntu) is a black screen with UI stuff on it, though. The game doesn't seem to be working for me.

andrew-babitt 2020-10-05 23:52

This game is really cool! the gfx and music are great.

maytch 2020-10-06 00:26

It's so satisfying running around a small world like that. Atmosphere and graphics are great, good job!

charlotte-raymond 2020-10-06 00:39

This is absolutely beautiful, and the controls feel nicely polished, especially considering the timeframe. Great job guys! You esp killed it on graphics.

adamadamconrad 2020-10-06 00:44

great idea. great presentation. i wanted a little more involved music.

rhornbek 2020-10-06 00:49

Really impressive, in all ways. Love the globe.

magnusfurcifer 2020-10-06 01:17

Amazing polish for a jam game. It looks great!

johnwayyyne 2020-10-06 03:36

Graphics are awesome! Love the idea of patrolling a tiny planet!

skleembof 2020-10-06 03:40

love the graphics and the atmosphere of the game. Could use more gameplay mechanics like maybe a shovel or something to dig for the crystals or climbing rocks.

I loved the walking animation

antaresvaldemar 2020-10-06 04:08

Outstanding visuals, and nice audio. The gameplay is solid, I like the sun/shade mechanic and how the different items to collect relate to the sun in different ways. I don't see much connection with the theme but it's very well made nonetheless, good work!

alekm 2020-10-06 04:10

Great game overall. Really impressive. Loved the animation on the character

worblir 2020-10-06 04:22

Great job! Loved the visuals and the animations of the astronaut. I felt like the astronaut's pick-up animation could have been a bit quicker, but that's a minor note. I also really liked the look of the trippy purple skybox in particular.

cad 2020-10-06 05:53

The 2D artwork/UI stood out a lot! Looks great.

shikamaru 2020-10-06 07:30

It's a great game. Of course if I could cope with dehydration.

victor-hallock 2020-10-06 08:29

Great job! Loved it and will try to beat it on a later playthrough!

chickencastle 2020-10-06 08:38

Great submission, loved the planet hopping and the art style was very good. The gradual introduction of new elements was a good addition too, it's a nice way to introduce the player to the rules. I think the pickup animation could have been a little faster to match up with the snappyness of the rest of the controls. Nice work!

purpledartfrog 2020-10-06 09:25

Very nice - it looks nice and polished and the controls feels the same :thumbsup_tone1:

:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:

mr-developer 2020-10-06 09:42

Very good! I really like the graphics, also very fun to play! Good job.

vrarr 2020-10-06 10:19

Good job! Fun game to play!

eldogg 2020-10-06 10:25

- UI looks great. Like the styling of the big text and the death cards/images being unique for each way you die. - Texture work on the 3D assets is good too, the runes on the rocks look cool. - Spacey Soundtrack is well suited for the game - Animations of the character are a nice touch too. - Mechanics are very well done, using the hot and cold of the planet to cook things and melt water is a neat idea.

I would say the pickup animation could be quicker, its a bit frustrating to watch them pick something up slowly as a licky monster is approaching.

Great job guys.

vesper 2020-10-06 10:52

Really nifty little game (and highly addictive). Everything felt amazingly sooth and polished for a JAM game. The last level was a tad frustrating, but I got there in the end.

If anything could be improved, I'd say the pick up action is a little bit precious sometimes, and could be more forgiving, and sometimes due to the nature of the FoV the little creatures blindside you if they're coming from below - also had some very high floating chicken issues, and some wobbles with the creatures getting stuck in their loops/becoming hard to lure. But honestly, the problems were miniscule. I played it for wayyy too long. Fantastic work!

sidonie-go 2020-10-06 11:18

Nice a 3D game :) It's really fun congrats

animaster 2020-10-06 12:10

Looks very good, and cool player animations. Most of the times you don't even have to eat/drink, if you fast enough. Nice work!

zoomer 2020-10-06 12:15

Such a cool game, really cool graphics, really cool audio, really cool animation. It's seriously beyond amazing for a Jam game. Great job

apandso 2020-10-06 12:17

Very nice looking game! I wish there were more hints as I occasionally forget how to drink/pick up. Good job!

finn-tr 2020-10-06 12:45

Really cool game! The graphics and animation is fantastic, the concept is very cool and very well-executed, I really love the waypoint to the ship whenever you pick up a crystal, lovely touch! Great job!

komes 2020-10-06 13:18

Cool game !! pls rate https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/mr-loopy

zrepa 2020-10-06 13:59

Love all games with space / planets included in the core mechanic or background. I must admit, those dark and light thing and mechanic around it(too hot/too cold) looks really awesome, good job!

rebecca-harrison 2020-10-06 14:12

Very fun :) I loved the ramping difficulty and the graphics were very well done

eweren 2020-10-06 14:37

Great game here. I really like the graphics and game idea. Soundeffects could have been slightly better, since it sometimes seemed to be very low quality. The soundtrack itself fits good to the game and creates a very nice atmosphere. Sometimes i had to rotate and move very often to get the crystal-grab triggered.

tamail 2020-10-06 14:41

Aww, this is an adorable game! A bit scary for someone with phobia of space but still really nice!

maxflav 2020-10-06 14:55

Very cute and fun idea! I adore the astronaut guy. Currently stuck on level 3 with the monsters. They keep sneaking up on me! I need to come up with a better strategy... P.S. When you put a crystal in the ship it sounds exactly like my microwave 🤣

b0guslaw 2020-10-06 14:57

Lovely idea and great game, absolutely loved it.

maxflav 2020-10-06 15:08

I finally managed to lure a chicken monster into the sun and I was so proud of myself... but the cooked chicken was floating too high up and I couldn't reach it!

shubi-oni 2020-10-06 15:13

In love with graphics, the astronaut is adorable. Very fun and entertaining to play, I love having to be careful with the temperature. Very good job! Congratulation

aterlamia 2020-10-06 15:29

I like the mood if this game the planets look amazing and it is a fun game play. Only thing that would make it better in my opinion is to be able to move the camera yourself i found the viewing angle a bit hard sometimes

rickropes 2020-10-06 16:10

Great Graphics, great controls, however the chickens are ruthless. Great job

seth-tal 2020-10-06 16:28

This is very well polished, nice work!

doctorhummer 2020-10-06 16:40

Wow, this game looks AND plays fantastic! Great job!

celes 2020-10-06 16:43

Fun game and pretty loopy. I liked having to explore around the planet for our needs. The third level was a little challenging, but overall it was really fun and a cute little game. Nice job!

sheepolution 2020-10-06 16:55

Very interesting game! Sadly, level 3 was too hard and I wasn't able to get past it. I feel like with a bit more time to balance the game it could improve a lot. I like the footsteps sound effect, and the astronaut's walking animation looks very funny. It's nice how you have a little intro sequence of how you land on the planet. Great job!

taroleon 2020-10-06 17:23

Nice execution, even though I feel the theme kind of got lost. I enjoyed the first two levels, but then I was unable to get through the third one even after 5 attempts. All in all pretty nice game you made there, well done.

victor-reiner 2020-10-06 17:53

The graphics are beautiful. And I really liked the music and sound effects. I was lagging a bit, but I think it was my computer's fault. Great game!

coryru 2020-10-06 18:21

"You died of being eaten" Pro tip: Don't try to pet the monsters. Seriously good work here had a blast playing. The 3d models in this game are really well done.

tylerkealy 2020-10-06 19:26

Very cool atmosphere

zero-ichi 2020-10-06 20:00

Great job ! 3D model are Beautiful :thumbsup:

coding4rtist 2020-10-06 20:22

Really impressed by the 3d graphics and animations, the character is really cute! A well polished game. Nice work!

teronk 2020-10-06 20:48

Really well made. Nice animation and atmosphere. Had a blast playing this. Well done!

trexxak 2020-10-06 20:58

"I... I just played that in my browser?" The times we live in, man...

This is all things considered just a beautifully well executed game. Great art for the short amount of time, great sound design, fun and challenging gameloop. I love this!

If I were to nickpick and change one thing though it would be to change the "input" method for confirming things to either the mouse click or the space bar and thus unifying the control scheme (seeing how the game does not use the mouse anywhere else, I'd go for the spacebar). That is however gripe at a high level, but I couldn't find any other flaws :'D Fantastic job you did there. Thank you for making this gem of jamgame <3

melvinng 2020-10-06 22:08

Cool graphics and sound! Simple, elegant gameplay that fits theme. Good job!

twilight-world 2020-10-06 22:36

Great work, incredible that so many of you collaborated on this

lexyvil 2020-10-07 02:07

Really had fun until the end~ It reminded me a bit of Outer Wilds, probably because of how small the planets are.

krg 2020-10-07 05:22

very cool game <3

nyubi 2020-10-07 06:31

As others have said before, this is really really well done, especially considering the time frame. Great team effort! I always wanted to give the "walking around a planet"-gameplay a shot myself (of course on a much lower level though ;) ) - "Need more Space" just has become sort of the benchmark for that. Music, UI design (the arrow pointing back to the rocket!), graphics (Colors, lighting, art like the engraved rocks), the walking animation and controls,... there's so much great stuff here!

bjornstahl 2020-10-07 06:32

Visuals, sound and UI looked really good, well done. I would have liked the pick up animation to be a bit faster but that a very minor thing.

tipyx 2020-10-07 09:45

This little astronaut is so cute <3. The music is cool, the sfxs great, and there is a player progression! Very good entry, good job!

endssgamesstudio 2020-10-07 13:50

amazing game! I tried to reach the last stage but I couldn't complete it, I tried several times, I think the last one is quite unbalanced.

in the last stage. monsters most of the time are at a height that they cannot collect

100th-coin 2020-10-07 16:28

Oh man, I love the dying animation on the character, ha! Seriously great work on the 3D modelling, and the music is serene as well! It reminded me a little bit of Pikmin if you were to remove Pikmin from it and Olimar had to do everything himself. Super cool game all around!

syafire 2020-10-07 21:23

This game was fun, cool mechanic with the hot and cold side of the planet. Those lucky things destroyed me.

tricky-fat-cat 2020-10-07 21:32

Big team with incredible result, visuals, gameplay and the game overall is very polished. Great job.

tomate-salat 2020-10-08 08:00

Very nice game and awesome graphics. You did a really good job in getting the player on board. Having different levels explaining everything was a really good idea.

duke 2020-10-08 10:54

Nice, that was actually well made and polished! The art really stood out, nice graphics, models and animations. The game play was fluid and the looping planet worked great. At first I was a bit lost due to having no heat source, but of course, I just had to get to the warm side of the planet :) The progression of the levels was a good idea as well. I had only one issue: Using space to consume did not work most of the time. My character just stood there and did nothing. One time I got him to drink the water he hold, but the next level, it didn't work anymore and I died :( Sound and Music was snappy as well! Good job all in all

gilad-bar-ilan 2020-10-08 13:52

NICE GRAPHICS!

tino 2020-10-08 15:46

Well that's some veeery nice art and sound effects!! I'm impressed, What did you record or use to make the sounds? Oo

pomo 2020-10-08 16:47

Wish I had time to finish this one, it was really fun, the mutated chicking thing AI felt a bit hard to get it to do what you want. Thanks for submitting it! -PomoTheDog

yamo-the-lucky 2020-10-08 17:10

@tino hello for the walking sound ı used rice. I filled some rice in a plastic bag to get a coarse ground sound. For freazing sound ı used the same plastic bag and rice, twist them infront of the mic. For the sound that comes after refilling the spaceship with crystals, ı used two recordings of "old cd player buttons", 2 synth riser effect, 1 very high frequency riser, and a kitchen alarm. I used shure sm58 gor recording. Thanks for the lovely comments everyone.

tino 2020-10-08 17:22

@yamo-the-lucky thanks for the tips! It is forever in my mind and will pop up next time I need something similar. Thanks a bunch!

From here you're not entitled to care at all but in case: This is my first LD and I used an old metallic water bottle, a bic pen, my mouth and some audacity post-processing, if you wanna check our game out :p

eugenik 2020-10-08 23:02

This game is gorgeous, awesome work!

marakesz 2020-10-09 08:38

Hehe nice one. It is little similar to our game :) good job

yaniv 2020-10-09 10:21

Good game Level 3 is very challenging and good

roofloorwall 2020-10-09 12:04

Love the atmosphere! Also, using the planet's temperature to your advantage was a really cool idea

andygates01 2020-10-09 14:15

Nice stuff guys. The character and it's animations are great, and the gameplay, especially with the temperature mechanic is quite interesting and the atmosphere is good. The difficulty definitely ramps up on level 3!

I would say, it's quite difficult to handle the chicken monsters and to heard them to the hot side. They tend to float around you and go off screen, where you can't tell if they're still following you, or if they're about to pop in and kill you.

Another minor frustration, you use spacebar to start the level, but the restart after death button has to be clicked. It would be nice if this could use spacebar too.

That being said, great idea and really nice execution. Good job :D

mikoziq 2020-10-09 21:08

Cute little planets exploration game with interesting death mechanics. Lacks a bit in objectives clarity as I did understood the context, but the objectives seemed to be written in a hurry, making it hard to immerse further (gramatically especially). Needs some polishing from visuals perspective in some areas, however I loved the way you guys made death-posters and the astronaut character itself. Keep up the good work!

wicked 2020-10-09 23:45

Heyo!

Feel free to ignore most of the things I point out due to jam scope, etc, but I’m giving feedback assumming you would keep working in the game. The rating I gave was with the jam context in mind though.

What I think could be improved:

Some way to "scan" items that I need that are out of view, I had a run that I couldn't find any ice cubes before running out of water I think there should be a more obvious indicator showing wheter you are in the hot or cold zone of the planet, an arrow in the temperature bar showing what is going on could solve this Regarding the theme of the jam, I didn't really see much match with the theme

What I loved:

The concept art around the page is amazing! Using the sides of the planet illuminated by the star is really smart Cute animations and models

If my comment was helpful, don’t forget to like it! … and if you can, open my profile page and leave feedback on our game as well <3

Thanks for the experience you provided with your game!

eduardo-yukio 2020-10-10 00:19

Very nice entry!

The graphics are awesome, it's very impressive what you guys achieved in so little time, the animations are so cute! The audio sets the mood very well too. Nice UI indications of temperature, it reminded me of *Don't Starve*. The arrow indicating the direction of the ship was a very good addition, maybe if it helped to locate the ice cubes it would be even better! Because I was suffering to find them haha, died a lot from dehydration =(

I had some issues though: The screen kept shaking while I walked, maybe because of the irregular surface? The hitbox to pickup items could be a bit larger, I lost many precious seconds trying to pick nearby items. There were some food that stayed very high up and I couldn't pick it up.

Besides the small issues, it was a very fun and beautiful experience! Great game!

omarmobadr 2020-10-10 07:55

very moody experience, those graphics and audio combined make that atmosphere amazing well polished

shadowhaxz0r 2020-10-10 08:03

Nice game! One of the more polished ones I've seen this ludum. The chicken things would sometimes get stuck and not fall to the ground after being cooked so I could not pick them up. Also for extra polish you could smooth out the run animation when changing directions instead of instantly turning. Great game overall!

szkocka 2020-10-10 09:07

Good idea with full release, get some post processing effects on there, slap some more content add procedural generation and few more objectives, and it will be really really good.

mackandrius 2020-10-10 21:46

Great entry and amazing accomplishment in such a short time! It did get quite difficult when I had to juggle the thirst, hunger and temp metrics all at once, but still seemed fair. Congrats!

alpacalypse 2020-10-11 00:44

This is a very cute little game and the temperature control mechanic is quite clever. I found it awkward to pick things up however, maybe the radius for that could be more forgiving.

darthone 2020-10-11 02:38

Really well executed game and I loved the graphics! I think the controls felt a bit clunky at times, like I wouldn't drink when pressing space. Also wish I could have panned the camera in the direction I was facing

wolfrug 2020-10-11 12:47

Great stuff! Really well done on introducing gameplay elements one by one - tight!

nsadie 2020-10-11 19:54

Very well done, excellent art, UI and atmosphere! I enjoyed it, but struggled a bit against the licky monsters!

Others have also mentioned it, but the pickup animation felt a little bit slow, I think I would have liked if I could just run over an item to automatically pick it up! I would rather throw it away then with a button.

sharked 2020-10-11 22:21

Well done ! I like the concept, the sound design is very cool, graphics too (exepted the skybox, not my style). The animation fits very well with the style, but I agree with one point : it should more reactive to pick an item up.

hadik 2020-10-14 10:25

Very good mood, nice work. You game is pretty fun, so please make it more next time. Thememaster, thats you are, fit into the theme. Inovative and good gameplay for me. You art is masterpiece, very good job. Overall nice job, I love it.

msiddeek 2020-10-15 09:29

Took me a while to figure out what the bars mean and how to do the objectives, but very gorgeous graphics and audio. Controls perfectly as well. Congrats!

rainyday2800 2020-10-21 18:30

I like how the mechanics of the game are taught to the player in pieces. Cool idea using the sun in different way. I love me some space chicken!
