I really like the execution here. The game is quite fun and the humor is *on point*. I'd love the game to be a bit more punishing though. The addition of random events (such as "robbed by space pirates" or "fuel tank sprung a leak") would add some unpredictability and given the excellently written content that's already here, I can only imagine the awesome scenarios you'd think up!
It was fun and looked awesome, but unfortunately it crashed on me during a galaxy switch from function testOverlapGal
@thatmanrobin That crash has been happening extremely rarely - I can't figure out why, so I can't debug it! How far into the game were you?
TODO: review game
I got the same issue as the post above me ```Error
main.lua:625: attempt to compare nil with number
Traceback
main.lua:625: in function 'testOverlapGals' main.lua:413: in function
=========== second bug ===========
Error
main.lua:611: attempt to compare nil with number
Traceback
main.lua:611: in function 'testOverlapPlanets' main.lua:421: in function
``` All and all though I love the art humor and the music. Aside from some of the crashes it looks like a great little game. Good Job!!
@kristinamay I believe it only happened leaving the second galaxy if I chose the upper option.
Great looking and sounding game, with a lot of charm and humour in the writing of the text. I got the error mentioned before when running out of fuel I think, if that helps with debugging.
Hey @thatmanrobin @choppers @sonicpixelation thank you for the bug report. I made a very small bug fix that I think solved the problem - the code checking to change the cursor on hover was still trying to loop through the items once they weren't being rendered anymore, so it was attempting comparisons on nothing. Could you do me a huge favor and re-download from itch and let me know if you're still experiencing the error? I've poked around a lot and can't trigger it, so it *should* be good? And thank you for playing the game!
Nice sound track and looks good. Also fits the theme very well.
Cool game. Chill, relaxing, point-and-click, and try to get money and fuel to get to the end. I didn't make it, and quite terrible, but had fun trying. Thanks for the game!
Love the graphic of this game, nice done :）
Game is nice. It recalls Out of There: Omega Alliance. Graphics amazing! But music is awful. I turned it off :(
Wonderfully funny game dialogue and really relaxed pace with calm music. What's not to like?
Pretty good across the board, all the little descriptions were pretty funny and I liked the music. It doesn't look like you fixed that bug though, I got to about the sixth galaxy and then had an error when going to the next.
``` Error

@swordfish Thanks for letting me know. I knew the culprit code but thought I'd fixed it... I went ahead and just ripped out the code that added in the different cursor on hover, so if it's not fixed now, then I'll just throw my laptop out the window. :grin:
Fantastic entry! I played for quite a while and enjoyed the humorous flavour texts :-)
I couldn't open the web version, had to download the game. My first reaction was "OMG you made this in Love!? why would you do that to yourself?". That being said, it's fun little game, good job!
I love the graphics and humor, really enjoyed playing it :)
@styrofoamwaffle I keep doing this to myself, I start making a game and realize that Love is the worst tool for it but then I'm too far in. :laughing: thanks for the feedback :)
Fun descriptive game, Gert served me well!
Cute little game, would love to see it fleshed out even more! Keep it up!
i pronounced gert with a g instead of j
Loved this! Got more than a few laughs out of me, we definitely have similar senses of humour! The graphics were nice and polished too, and I think it said the font was also handmade which is impressive. I liked the lovingly mouth-created sound effects too, overall really enjoyed it, good job :)
@jaybaus thank you!! And @duncan-3 what a MONSTER. :P
Very well made. I enjoyed it a lot and liked the little win screen at the end :D
Got stuck at about 48 points for a few runs then figured it out and beat it with 109 points! Funny, well implemented, and pretty addictive. Good music and sounds. Overall solid, good job!
I tried playing this in Firefox for Linux, but got an error (screen shot below).
But it works fine in Chrome. Probably it's just a fluke in the version of Firefox that I have. Anyway, I like this kind of game, and I had fun exploring. It would be nice to see some alien life forms (even if via primitive graphics), bu given the time constraints, you did a good job. Nice work.
