Awesome game ! First off I'll say that the music is FIRE, really loved it. The sound design fits pretty well with it. The pixel art is really solid too. It's a lot of fun to discover everything that you can do and the asteroids to explore. The food names were pretty cool as well :)

On the downside, it is a little long to wait 30s+ for each action after a while. And I wish you could navigate between the 3 rooms with left and right arrows.

Overall, a VERY solid entry. Great game, great job !

I don't think the Pizza X gives you 1000 food, at least not consistently, still I love pizza so I went all in on big pizza. Loved the game idea

But why? :(

@cybek plese try Chrome or Edge. Unfortunatly Firefox still doesn't support the HTTP header that's necessary to load Godot 4 games =/ (that should work in the future tho)

Nice game. Really loved the pixel art, it all meshed together so well and just generally looks great. I agree that the waiting times are a little too long but overall the game design is great. It's nice to see something a little different in the form of a strategy game.

Would absolutely download it if the game was a mobile idle game that stretched over multiple days :)

Really solid entry, lovely job!

This was really fun to play, the graphics, sound, and gameplay were all super solid. I was particularly fond of the Ananas 2000.

I loved it, since i'm a bit a fan of space it may not be very objective. As a pixel artist, i focused a lot on graphics and for a game jam i have to say that they are awesome. Congrats on this point ! The music also catch me a lot, but again, fan of this kind. Well, to resume, i love the theme, the pixel art and the music. The gameplay feels slow at a moment but still fun.

What a nice game! The graphics are beautiful and read clearly, easy to understand the concept. Great sound plus the option to turn it off. Overall a bit too easy, won the first time and dont see a reason to play again.

@eranot : oh, thanks for the explanation. I will try it later then, on other browser.

Great game I would love if there would be even more ship areas with things to do. Also great music!

najimi 2023-01-10 23:12

I love the game idea, it's thought through and well designed. Cool graphics and the music fits it really well. Wish there were more things to do and it would last longer, as I love these kind of games. Only thing that pushed me a bit back was it seems the exploration missions are pure random based, I had one run where even the good ones kept failing and I couldn't make it. Overall really great game, had a lot of fun playing it!

the pixel art and music is great and i like the micromanaging of things. The only problem is there is some downtime between missions. Overall pretty good job and great mood

Wow, excellent work on the overall style here! The music suits the gameplay perfectly, and the sprite art and animations are so good! I love that you can actually see the scout ship launch toward its objective. The food incubators, scouting, and energy collection is balanced well and really fun to manage without being overwhelming. Great job on every aspect of this one, you guys!

Very charming pixel style! I love the space atomsphere so much. I wish the game has more to offer but you know we only had 72h.

jakubbala 2023-01-15 22:17

I absolutely love the graphics and UI of this game! The gameplay was a pleasant suprise as its not what I expected it to be, but I really enjoyed it and it made me think ahead and plan my actions. It was effective in not being overcomplicated by having too many resources to manage, but still enough that it was well balanced.

A great entry!

My crew grew during a shortage for some reason and died 2 seconds before getting a big batch of carrots XD. I agree with others above, it would be nice to have a way to increase the number of asteroids you can visit at the same time. My favourite thing is how you split the tutorial into different sections to be read while already playing, which I guess will lower the amount of players that close it right before playing because of long verbose tutorials. Visuals and sound are very nice too. Great job!

Great job at polishing everything! There are so many small details that i want to highlight:

- Every interactable object (ui and game) has a visual notifier like changing brightness on hover - The scrolling background in ALL of the screens - The subtle use of colour to indicate effects (the hunger bar blinks red the energy one green)

Its overall just a great game. Love the pixel art and colour choice!

This game looks so polished! I am honestly amazed how this was pulled off in such a short time. The pixel art is charming, the sound design fits really well, and I love the tesla carrot humor. The UI is very functional, and it's very considerate that the little explanations of things are still there even when you skip the tutorial. There are so many elements of good game design here. Love it.

Happy to be your 20th rater. This game was so cool and polished, you art is super cool and you thought about onboarding. During my game, i looked for issue to point out and i noticed that balancing could have been a little sharper. But in the end i lost because of the greed. Of course, you could have added other features but you served us a certainly minimalist but finished game and that's way more important to me. Good job ! Gonna do a second run !

This was a cool take on the theme, nice work! It was a little confusing at first but I started to get the hang of what was going on. As others have commented on I love the polish added and think the overall esthetic is nice. Overall great work!

sarah 2023-01-27 04:39

Wow, this was amazing! I love the concept of the game and the art/SFX are perfect! All the animations are great, especially the little ship going exploring! It's really polished and I love the UI as well, great job!
