Impressive! :open_mouth:

dante2001 2021-10-04 19:31

Its very good, I finished all the objectives but it didn't go to the next level? Graphics are terribly good. Fits perfectly well with the theme Potential desktop background haha orbitalShot_2021-10-04_16-28-18.png

Jeez, so beautiful, peaceful and comforting! A game for that rainy days at home, just to sit with a cup of the coffe and stare at low-poly space. Deeply impressed!

Beautiful art style and visual effects.

What an experience! Very immersive photography game, every effect and little features are perfectly executed. 5 stars all around, would photography again!

Thank you a lot for the comments ! @dante2001 There is no "sucess screen" yes, I didn't had time to create one sorry ! This was a very intense end of jam haha, I planned to much 3D and underestimated the ui coding part !

timo-strating 2021-10-05 11:57

The art looks really nice. The only tip i have is that F1 and F2 etc already have a meaning in the browser so chrome's help window popt up a few times.

vhalenn 2021-10-05 12:33

Oh no ! I didn't think to this ! Haha sorry for the bad control choices @timo-strating

The scene of planet is really impressive. Expecting more levels.

achef122 2021-10-05 15:25

Nice music, very nice visuals and the style, i also like UI which many people overlook. Mechanic is also smooth. All and all its relaxing and creative game and its very polished.

javicoder 2021-10-05 16:12

OMG. it is beautiful, pure art. a super original and well done idea. please put out an extended version on steam or something,

aidan-and-seb 2021-10-05 16:43

Wow what a really original idea! The scale of the game is impressive, and along with the sound design and scale, it adds up to a great experience! Wish it had more levels!

A very meditative game with beautiful graphics, but honestly speaking, something was not enough for me. Although looking at explosions and flying rocks is cool. I think it could be part of something bigger.

vhalenn 2021-10-05 18:17

Thank you for all the comments ! It was a very intense jam for me, I did the maximum to put everything I could, I'll think about what to add if I continue this. :smile:

hadik 2021-10-05 19:41

Awesome 3D art, I like this low-poly style, with universe theme is very uniq :) And also music, its nice and calm :) Very good job :)

flywolfe 2021-10-05 19:45

So gorgeous! I wish I got to see what else you had planned, but wow, there's so much effort put into the graphics and shaders here. Nice job!

binaryspark 2021-10-06 11:53

Very shiny! It's pretty wonderful what bloom can add to a game, eh? :) It's a very unique take on the theme, and I really like that it actually saves screenshots (I assume that works on the desktop version, atleast, I played the WebGL version).

proz 2021-10-06 11:55

Dat was was beautiful

sherwood 2021-10-06 11:56

Very immersive and relaxing. Though the HTML5 version didn't work quite well for me (fps drops in fullscreen mode, a feel of wrong mouse placement, F1 not showing inputs and sometimes inputs not properly detected). But besides the HTML5 version, it's a great game and perfectly fitting the theme. Well done !

lintfordpickle 2021-10-06 12:00

A pretty unique entry, and it goes without saying the graphics are very impressive (as is the music). well done

aleh 2021-10-06 12:04

Where is huge meteor? I couldn't find it. It is amazing meditative game. The visual is perfect, good job.

davision 2021-10-06 12:06

That is a great and the execution is also really good. The F1 and F3 keys don't seem to work in firefox. I couldn't find any huge meteor to photograph. Maybe I would have needed the F3 key for that? I wonder what could be implemented to offer some kind of challenge. Like maybe some limited dodge thruster controls for avoiding rocks or some kind of recharging shield to protect against what the volcanos shoot out. But it is of course perfectly fine without any challenge.

hunk 2021-10-06 12:08

Nice job !

Original concept on this theme, I past a great moment ! Nice work on feedback and artistic direction :)

barrier 2021-10-06 12:09

Very impressive visually, just wish there was more to do, all the objectives were pretty easy to spot and do.

vhalenn 2021-10-06 12:16

@aleh @davision The huge meteor is the only "timed" and unique event, this is the meteor causing the huge impact in front of you after 30s of orbiting I would say.

Thank you for the nice feedbacks :smile:

aleh 2021-10-06 12:24

@vhalenn you should repeat this event. I've been learning more than 30 seconds.

oliver-richmeier 2021-10-06 12:25

Very nicely done. beautiful visual design, and i loved the inclusion of additional video settings and filters to play around with.orbitalShot_2021-10-06_07-15-03.png

as-you-like-101 2021-10-06 16:54

cool graphics !! it really put in the mood to playing it

erlioniel 2021-10-06 18:34

I like the visual, all this playing around filters, etc. Didn't find the huge meteor, but anyway it's pretty relaxing observation game. Music can be adjusted tho, because right now it's repeating quite fast.

vhalenn 2021-10-07 07:18

@aleh Yes I wanted to do this but unfortunately adding this meteor was already a huge work to do and didn't had time to make it "loop".

@erlioniel Thank you for your comment ! This is why I didn't put the Audio category in the rating, because audio is very important but we are a team working on visuals all year so creating audio is a huge challenge for us !

hinesite 2021-10-07 12:39

The game is beautiful. I could definitely see this being turned into a much larger space exploration/observatory chill game.

Like others have said, it took a long time for me to realize that the meteor only shows once at the beginning, and unfortunately when I first played, the meteor struck long before I figured out what to do.

The F-keys were intercepted by chrome which prevented me from getting to parts of the game.

The audio was a fantastic fit for the game.

mhorth 2021-10-09 00:18

Holy cow your graphics are really well done. I'd love to see you expand on this and make more scenes. Icy planet, gassy planet, I'd really want to see what you make.

I was not able to find the huge meteor, so alas my objectives are only 4/5. Really cool camera-based game, and a great mood.

ltyrosine 2021-10-11 19:53

Impressive visuals, nice idea and nice theme usage. Congrats
