Haha :D great

Overall loved the concept of the game. The bars at the top really helped find crates once i knew how it worked. The arrow was also helpful in getting back to the ship. At times i found the movement a little buggy however it didn't take away from the game too much. Great job, enjoyed the game!

It was a cool game! The black hole effect and the music getting more intense I really liked. One thing that got me kind of stuck was when I dropped my crate in the lava in the second level and had a lot of trouble retrieving it.

martin-delemotte 2020-10-06 09:15

It's a fun game, and i love the idea!

kaisenthegreatone 2020-10-06 09:32

Very neat game. Could walk through a mountain at one point, but it was still fun :D

dracesbane 2020-10-06 10:08

Interesting concept. Intensifying music was a nice touch. Crates sometimes inaccessible due to spawn location, I had one on top of a Dinosaur? lol was fun though. Good job

gemberkoekje 2020-10-06 10:12

@dracesbane You might've been unlucky, but you might've been able to grab it with some well timed jetpack usage.

I really liked this game but I stressed due to the music and died lvl 2 :( (where is the last crate plzzzzz x) ) But be sure that I will keep this game until I beat lvl 2! The game is really cool well done ! :)

Game is fun, but camera such strange and uncomfortable. I like music of win.

anrqangel 2020-10-06 13:47

Good fun game, love your art style

samshine 2020-10-06 14:17

Round planets were a nice idea! Flying around it with a jetpack is fun. Nice game!

dracesbane 2020-10-06 14:23

@gemberkoekje Oh I managed to get the one on the dino thanks to some jetpack skills. I saw it as a challenge and kept at it until I got it. But it did cost me too much time though. But was fun! :)

upcharlie 2020-10-06 16:56

I thought it was hard to get bearings with limited landmarks but the concept was cool and flying was fun :)

Great Work! the black hole in the background was a great addition

skleembof 2020-10-06 19:48

I forgot the name, but there's another jam game that is almost exactly like this one, except yours has more action.

This was entertaining for a little while but the gameplay loop needs more meat to keep players engaged. I like the art style, it had a cool aesthetic to it especially with the black hole in the distance

gemberkoekje 2020-10-06 20:16

@skleembof I had the idea to add a mechanic where you need to keep the fuel upright by balancing, but it was slashed due to time ;)

nickzouk 2020-10-06 20:40

at first i had fun... then the crate bugged at the top of a rocky thing,i had 20 seconds!! could not finish the 2nd lvl.. At the end very noice game! I liked it! Good Job

fliqside 2020-10-06 20:42

Nice job with the feel of the game. Really enjoyed the T-Rex!

moffkalast 2020-10-06 22:24

Interesting concept, and definitely hilarious with the spaceman yelling random hurt noises when getting hit by a bear over and over. The graphics probably won't be winning any awards overall (I think the style inconsistency with textures somewhere vs plain materials elsewhere is the main thing that makes it look kinda odd), but I am interested in the gravitational lensing black hole shader that grows over time, it's really well done. Any tips on achieving that effect?

gemberkoekje 2020-10-06 22:40

@moffkalast There is a tutorial for a unity black hole shader done with shader forge, I adapted that one so we can use it in the newer universal pipeline shader maker in Unity itself.

Super fun game. Loved it. I did fall through the planet once but I still had a blast.

etrealjunior 2020-10-07 09:11

I liked your game my congratulations, I also did one if you want to know, and give me your feedback I am very grateful, this is the link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/resurrection

Pretty fun game, liked the concept, had some issues with the camera though, thought it was quite disorientating, other than that, solid game!

ketor 2020-10-07 13:35

Totally feels like handmade assets. They are really nice. Sometimes is quite difficult to get all crates, but create a great balance in a game jam is quite difficult.

100th-coin 2020-10-07 16:33

Wow, the black hole in the skybox is a super neat touch! I also love the guitar riff when collecting barrels, ha! Great work all around!

masterit 2020-10-07 16:35

Very cool. Simple and gamefull.

meatball 2020-10-07 16:47

Great! Easy to use controls, fun characters and the music really added to the vibe. Good stuff!

3ncryp73d 2020-10-07 18:56

Cool concept. The camera movement was a little disorienting and the game could use some air control while jumping. In lvl 2 I often got stuck on the bouncy orange surfaces and couldn't really move horizontally. Also time is a little short in my opinion.

binaryprinciple 2020-10-07 21:55

I liked the concept and Bill & Ted guitar, the background music gets you in the mood. I would recommend to redesign the arrow, gets a bit disorienting but it was fun!

eldelhas 2020-10-08 11:10

This was a good game, clean for a jam, and funny (bears and dinos on moons XD) music is nice also, good job, adding the jetpack btw was a really good idea, added a lot of fun in my games !!

graebor 2020-10-08 18:55

I was not expecting space bears! The movement was pretty sensitive and taking damage seemed to throw me into the air in unpredictable ways, but overall it was charming and got a couple of laughs out of me. Love the rocket takeoff sound effect.

eugenik 2020-10-09 00:08

In love with the atmosphere too! Good job :D

layne-stokes 2020-10-10 00:31

The jetpack and player movement is really well done! An innovative take on the theme. The guitar lick was a really nice touch for the audio. Overall a great entry

ltyrosine 2020-10-10 04:25

Space bears, how cool is that?

Liked the idea and the setting, cool atmosphere created with these low poly graphics. Nice planets variation. The jet pack is the best feature in this game, so cool to fly with it!

Camera and player movement could be improved tho, sometimes it behave very awkward.

Overall a nice little game! Good Job!

galpashitaka12 2020-10-12 01:28

Game is fun and very entertaining, graphics are good and have their own personality and I really like that! However there is a lack in the audio department that makes this game a bit unplayable for me; the main theme is very good and fitting for the tone you were going for, but I feel it could have been a little big longer before it begins to loop, bcs it gets too repetitive and annoying when you get to the other levels, also maybe you could have rendered the song in a way that it loops in a more seamless way, because there are some seconds of silence before it loops back to the first bar. The sound design was not that bad but the electric guitar jingle gets a bit annoying at times.
