Really Cool Game! The art was amazing and the idea of the game too.

I survived! It wasn't very challenging but pleasant to play. I enjoyed my time with this game. I was particularly pleasantly surprised [spoiler ahead!] when my electricity failed on loop 2. Just when I thought that I know everything about this game!

I really liked the music. It was so fitting to the atmosphere and general theme. And I liked the gloomy atmosphere the color theme created. I didn't like the graphic "noise" effect - it got very tiring for the eyes after a while. But maybe it's just because I'm very tired after all the jam efforts and should be already catching up on some sleep and not playing jam games :wink:

Overall, an impressive solo work. You should be proud! Oh, and almost forgot - thank you for allowing the player to jump!

Not super challenging, was a bit dull even at times just waiting for the next break, but the theme was nice, I liked the visuals.

Great game, I really enjoyed this take on the theme! The gameplay felt complete and polished despite being so minimal. Not very challenging, but the attention given to making the game look and feel good made it a sweet little survival loop.

I survived ! It was really fun and I really enjoyed my playthrough. If you actually put some more time to it, it would make a really great game. Bravo !

Lunar Loop is one of the best games this Ludum Dare!

First I was like "Ok this will be very basic.", but then I had a blast, I really did! I mean you made such a simple chore a huge fun! I really loved the animations and small barely noticable details such as passing by planets and stuff like that. And the music, oh boy, how I loved it. The wasn't too hard but was challenging and fun at the same time.

As others have said, the game starts pretty basic but it gets better and better. I really enjoyed the experience, the atmosphere (the passing planets through the window!) and the sound effects. Good job man!!

This game takes the time restriction of LD and does what it can. It does very little, but it does it best it can.

Graphics? There. Music? There. Sounds? There. Atmosfere and feel? Hell yeah.

What I must apprecieate is, that the game ends before it runs out of juice. Good job.

@juanv @fabula-rasa @profugo-barbatus @rockclaw @noakishere @peace-of-cake-games @iluvatar @celuloide @scintillae-creations

Thank you all for taking the time to play the game and give feedback, I really appreciate it!! It's also nice to hear some of the smaller details and 'game feel' details haven't gone unnoticed ;)

Balancing the difficulty was a tough challenge, and I definitely agree that it's currently on the easier side at the moment! With more time/testing I certainly would have adjusted it more, although I'm glad it's not impossible to beat!

intuitive gameplay, but i managed to win in the first run. probably hard to balance to add more challanges without making it unfair

lenophie 2020-10-06 18:44

Fun time! That astronaut definitely drinks too much water for their own good tho :p 15 loops feels a little too long but the wide range of hazards is a nice touch! Good job!

freddyturbina 2020-10-06 18:53

That was realy fun! great game! I would like to be more of a challenge.

avatargreggles 2020-10-06 19:00

Fantastic job!! Also like others said I wish it was a bit more of a challenge! But it actually was enjoyable regardless which means you have a fun idea that people intrinsically enjoy! Good job!

coding4rtist 2020-10-06 19:42

Enjoyed playing it, simple idea but funny to play, maybe just a bit too easy. Nice art and music.

djayne 2020-10-06 21:06

Really impressive game, smooth and seemless. It's a simple and effective idea that's executed really well and keeps you eager to play til the end. The style is great. Loved the music and general ambience. Reminded me of Moon. Spoiler alert: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f5QYJ20wHiqXhD64h6EZtL_gyJ1DxTF7/view?usp=sharing

A really fun game! Enjoyed running around the ship and just living my life. Controls felt really slick and the art is really clean (good job on the smooth walk animation!). It felt a little too easy, but overall really had fun

jamesor 2020-10-06 22:23

That was really enjoyable. Great job. I could see you expanding on this past the Jam with new rooms opening up over time.

jenny-bourke 2020-10-06 23:46

I really liked this game, but I do wish there were a few more things to click, or it was just a touch shorter. Overall it was fun to balance things, and could see this getting bigger! If you like this game I would recommend Barotrauma!

solmir2000 2020-10-07 23:50

simple yet engaging with a good implementation , this is a nice game.

dxk2294 2020-10-08 00:21

I survived! I would have liked maybe 1 more system to manage, but I really enjoyed my time :smile: I think it was pretty well balanced, water felt really scarce in the last few days. The art was fantastic, especially the animation of the player character. Great job!

shortbread 2020-10-08 00:46

Lovely game, good art and the character movement was really nice. I found it a bit too repetitive, perhaps some more tasks and larger station would make it more interesting, but overall quite good, well done :thumbsup:

brorenata 2020-10-08 01:08

Visuals and music were phenomenal, really set the mood well. Character animation was really good. I think gameplay wise it's prone to getting dull from repetition. Also O2 never really felt like a resource I had to actually manage since it only went down the 2 or 3 times there was a leak.

Simple, nice game here! It's always better to aim for a simpler scope and implement it 100%, and this entry proves it. Solid and fun gameplay.

As a minor issue: It is a little too easy. Maybe water should replenish a little slower?

Overall it is a great entry!

Great mood, simple but good graphics, and surprisingly well-balanced gameplay for a jam game. :)
