Nice environment, you did a good job

eldelhas 2020-10-06 12:10

A bit empty, but the idea is nice anyway. A bit more consequences, choices and stuff to do would have been nice

inoscop8djfk 2020-10-06 16:18

@aquamarin thank you!

inoscop8djfk 2020-10-06 16:19

@eldelhas thanks! We know, unfortunately we ran out of time, maybe next time

mirakazumi 2020-10-06 16:41

i really liked that! the idea is nice and graphics are on top if they were all made in 3 days. if its your first game then high five!

n8dev 2020-10-06 17:46

I got an error when I tried to install, so I couldn't play unfortunately :( itcherror.png This is a different game but the same error

inoscop8djfk 2020-10-06 19:11

@mirakazumi Thank you that's very nice. We sure have a lot to improve on tho. High five!

higgs 2020-10-06 20:03

@n8dev Sorry to hear that. Are you trying to install it on Windows?

necauqua 2020-10-06 20:23

Pretty classic and I would even call it cheesy take on the theme.

However graphics look really good, the find items and complete objectives gameplay is also pretty classic.

Overall I can't definitevely say anything, but the effort was there, and that's what matters the most, keep up the good work :)

n8dev 2020-10-06 22:57

@Higgs yes sir

higgs 2020-10-07 08:22

@necauqua thanks for your feedback(:

higgs 2020-10-07 08:23

@n8dev I don't know what's cause the error but I will look after it.

n8dev 2020-10-07 11:02

@Higgs alright, later today I will try it again

The environment looks nice, but the loop in this game feels too much like a job in my opinion. There is no real reward in the main gameplay loop of the game since every time you complete it you must do it again. I know that is the theme (kind of) but this interpretation might be a bit too literal for my liking.

The voice really adds something to the game though, good job on that!

thelonewolf 2020-10-08 15:28

The graphics are great, and it's a nice game and a good idea even though there's not alot of gameplay. Good work!

kaldrin 2020-10-08 16:33

Congrats for your entry ! Sadly as you say, the gameplay is really underdevelopped, but I understand. I guess you got the theme, kindof ? Restarting the scene works, but it's pretty meh in my opinon. The graphics art nice for a jam game, gotta admit that, especially the skysphere, did you make it? Even if well, on Mars the atmosphere is more orange, I'm not sure if you can see space like this, but it doesn't matter ahah

The gameplay is pretty rigid, the step sounds too loud and repetitive, pretty annoying in the end, and a sprint function could have come in handy to go faster. The music is good too, and the audio ok, nice job ^^

I did not really enjoy it much though, I'm sorry ^^;

inoscop8djfk 2020-10-09 15:06

@ayxs thanks!

inoscop8djfk 2020-10-09 15:07

@thelonewolf thank you!

inoscop8djfk 2020-10-09 15:08

@kaldrin Thank you! Guess it really seems we almost completely forgot about the theme 😂

kaldrin 2020-10-09 17:42

@inoscop8djfk You'll do better next time !

darkmax14 2020-10-10 20:42

Really nice looking environment you got there :smile:

inoscop8djfk 2020-10-10 21:00

@darkmax14 thank you!

giordas 2020-10-10 21:02

As you said, the gameplay is unfinished, but the graphics are amazing and you created a really nice enviorement. You also created a really nice mood and it is a relaxing game overall.

higgs 2020-10-11 09:26

@giordas Thanks for your feedback(:

jk5000 2020-10-15 08:28

This was an okay little jam game. It's needs a bit more gameplay, but okay I see you ran out of time.

captainproton42 2020-10-15 13:41

Definitely an interesting setting. The music fit well and I like that you included voice acting.

Despite the game obviously lacking content, here are a few things that I would've liked:

* a sprint button (the scenery on the way to the solar panel got a bit boring after a while :P) * more specific directions. "Go inside" and "Go outside" didn't really help me that much * highlight objects you can interact with (I often just spamclicked to check if I could interact with something

I understand that you ran out of time which might have prevented you from adding things like these. For what it is, I still like it. Well done!

EDIT: Just saw that you opted out of audio. Shame, I really liked that you included voice acting :(

inoscop8djfk 2020-10-15 14:41

@jk5000 thank you! :)

inoscop8djfk 2020-10-15 14:47

@captainproton42 Thank you! We removed the sprint function in order to kinda slow down the gameplay. We didn't want the player to just speedrun the whole thing. We made it that way, so the player has to explore/find things out for themselves, not just follow some boring orders. We included a help function, you must've missed it. Just press H and little yellow arrows show you the things you have to/can interact with.

xacer 2020-10-18 14:36

Nice! Why didn't you allow rating for the music/audio?

higgs 2020-10-22 05:37

@xacer the footsteps not made by us.

I'm really surprised of how many people did a game about a janitor. The environnement is great and there's a lot of detail, but sometime the overall look is quite inconsistent (texture/no texture...)
