Cute game, I liked the intro cutscene! I didn't get that you had to be near the guys to tether them at first, but aside from that the gameplay was effective.

Thanks for playing @zachsbutt! I added a little bit info to help with tethering on the page.
Fun and replayable! I liked the intro cutscene, loved the gameplay (felt very good to save my friends from the icy maws of space faster and faster with every re-play) and the music was amazing! Great job!
Thanks @sarduc!
I love the game, the graphics are so good, the gameplay too
Much appreciated @fermingimpel
Very nice game! The game play is fun and the music is great.The pictures are beautiful, too. The difficulty is moderate, and the guiding arrows are very good, so I don't get lost.Good job!
Pretty cool game, I love the intro scene and the simple gameplay!
That was really fun. The controls were responsive. Before long I was zipping around the asteroids like a pro. The mechanic of tethering was fun and unique. I like how different it was playing as the probe versus an engineer. The intro was extremely well done! A couple of tiny things you might consider: The movement of the probe started too soon for me, often before I realized I was controlling it. Maybe a very short pause? And sometimes I died fast enough that I had one probe launching while another was still returning. (Maybe nobody else is that bad of a player to do that.) But it was immersion breaking when I lost the game if the probe died, because why couldn't the other probe I just saw come rescue me? But like I said, those were very tiny compared to the amazingly cool looking graphics and smooth gameplay. Well done!
Really good game, excellent polish. MAKE MOAR!
I am glad the arrow helped @goodman233. Thanks for the kind words.
@paprikcho thanks! That intro scene was great. @sine-nomine did a great job for the little time spent.
@scruffylooking2121 you know, the pause was actually taken into consideration before we posted. Now I wish I implemented it! Thanks for comments.
Thank you @catomag. Maybe we will!
Sweet and short! Had a lot fun, hilarious and also very cute intro cutscene. I found myself out of ammo at the end of the level and forced to frantically lead the enemies around rather than try to kill them directly. I really like that kind of situational depth. I also like that you could see your friends in parts of the level that you couldn't quite get to at the time. Solid entry!!!
Thank you @bea!
A cutscene!!! And a funny cute one too! Super well done, I had a great time playing it, and the added depth of rescuing the rescuer added a lot to the game. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it @wetburritosupreme, thank you.
Hey great game! I made it through! I the music was awesome!
Thanks @ghost-in-the-toast! Good job on beating it. Our space friends thank you.
It was such a great experience, the intro sequence really made me laugh, and I like the fact that when u die you have a little rescue spacecraft so its still consistent and you don't feel like you lose progress. Really nice gameplay and execution! Kudos! :D
this was delightful. loved the visual style, and the intro narration was hilarious. 10/10 would definitely continue the adventures of robot bob and his band of unfortunate space travelers
Reminiscent of old DOS puzzle games from sound to puzzle design and game play. Enjoyed the experience, cheers~
Thank you @keppersnapper. The drone really comes in handy!
Thanks @miej maybe we will continue on it then! We’ll let you know ;)
@timsymagnus there was this old robot dos game that I used to play and now that you mention it it does remind me of that! Thank you.
This was great, I loved the painted art style at the beginning. I wish there were more levels!
Pretty cute game. Loved the intro!
Neat concept, wish it were longer!
@manan we've been getting a lot of positive feedback, maybe we will make this into something more! Thanks for your comment :)
@preda Thank you :)
@rashcan This does have room to grow, it was a blast to do for a first game jam. I think it has a future. Thank you for your feedback.
The intro cutscene was cute and I really liked the music in the level. It was an interesting idea for the line between the friends, which kept me from going anywhere I could. I could definitely see this being expanded possibly to a full game. You could introduce new mechanics that relate to the oxygen supply line, like for example a new oxygen source or swinging mechanic.
@hugimugi7 Those are great ideas. Upgrades maybe to your suit and ship to allow for stronger lines, more oxygen and more missiles. Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome! It turned out to be a good puzzle, with good motivation. The gameplay is interesting, there is resource management, interesting basic mechanics, in general, great! The music is good, creates a good tension, fulfills its role. And, of course, the starting cutscene is drawn very beautifully =) Such a cool game, of course, you want more, it ends pretty quickly, but on the other hand, it was all done in 72 hours - very cool for jam!
Thank you @kripakov. Its crazy what you can come up with in 72 hours. It was a new style of game for me to program and I had a blast doing it. We appreciate the comment.
Such an amazing intro haha ! Very innovative concept here and special mention for the music. More more ! ;)
Hey thanks @lysenti! :D
intro cutscene was cute and loved the text to speech xD the mechanics were really fun and it kept me playing till the end. the music was very nice as well. i really have nothing bad to say, polished and the scope of the game was just right for people to play it until the end
Great game! At first I didn't understand why I got a game over, then I realized the wire should not touch any asteroids. The music is fitting, the visuals are nice, the gameplay is quite fun! I think the game is pretty well done overall!
Nice game and well implemented. Really liked the tethering mechanic.
Very cute game, the intro was excellent, now I wish to have a space picnic with my friends.
The games a really interesting puzzler, I failed a bunch but it never felt like the game cheated me, and I got there in the end, working out the sequence was pretty cool. The art is pretty! and the music is well done, I also liked the sound effects. Good game!
Wait... what text to speech? :P Thank you very much @dobrila!
@vxiii I think I should have spent a little time on coding a pause when getting hit and notifying maybe where the contact was. Thanks for playing!
Thanks @staircase27a it was fun to program, first time doing this type of game. Glad you enjoyed it.
@noteworthy Well now that you saved them you can! Glad you have fun, thanks for playing :)
Love the little story! I included it in my compilation video series of a bunch of LDJAM games! https://youtu.be/9MwVPzD0l-Q
@jupiter-hadley Thats awesome! Thank you so much for playing our game.
