I don't know how to describe the game, but I really like the atmosphere and the GD.

Cool little game with a very good art style! Having the alien was a nice touch. Good job

Hey I would love to play and rate your game, however right now it does not seem to fully work. I cannot pick up things for example. And the Exit menu only opens once. You should be allowed to fix this I think. Would love to come back and try again. Maybe I just did something wrong. I already love the mood though. :)

I think you need to get to rocket first to be able to pick up things. Cool game, love the chilling astronaut walking animation while in big danger, this guy is really relaxed 8).

Nice mood

Timing seems a little bit tight tho, i couldn't finish it

Nice atmosphere :) Reminded me of astroneer with a horror twist. The creepy alien was cool. I didn't get anywhere near him so I dunno if he would have attacked me or something lol. Made it off the planet with 5 parts.

Good atmosphere, nice ambient. @heuser you need at first go to the rocket, then you can pick up items to prepare for get out from mars))

Had to figure out that I had to walk to the rocket first too because I don't read comments before playing the game. Also found out the hard way that you can only carry one item at a time :smile: Other than that really lovely game, great atmosphere/mood.

The atmosphere of the game is fantastic! The game is really well done, congratulations!

The game was excellent. The only thing is that you need to trap the mouse inside the game as I have two monitors and it was escaping the game play area.

It is a good game, great graphics, great music, the fog effect for the wind was very good

I have played it several times, the timer is too fast, or we need to be able to run, or we need to be able to pick up more than one thing

Well like multiple comments pointed it out, having to do stuff in a very specific order doesn't feel too great.

The walking pace is really slow, it adds some dramatic vibe but as you have to go back and forth in the same small area you eventually know the place and the dramatic aspect fades to leave just a very slow pace.

You could avoid getting out of the experience while walking by reading the notes, but they disappear so fast I had to retry four times just to read one.

The timer (I assume it's an oxygen meter) is depleting wayy too quickly, I could get up to 3 parts in my best attempt but got caught by the sort of xenomorph inspired alien.

However despite reaching 3 parts again I did not see the alien again in other attempts. The fact you're so slow even when being chased, and the alien being just as slow makes it kinda funny instead of oppressing as you can take a good look to the enemy and have all the time to get used to it.

Some of the farthest equipment parts are so far just getting to it and back to the rocket was too long and I ran out of time. I'm really confused on whether it's possible to escape or not.

The mood with the fog, ambient sounds and music was pretty good though.

Cool atmosphere I think, I was a bit lost at first but once I figured out where to go, and the fact I could move the camera, I felt ready, but with too little time left.

Good game feel and fun game overall! Really enjoyed my time with this one.

2023-05-04 21:54

vibes are good. didn't try more than once, the timing on getting all the equipment feels really hard. overall, good art direction -- well done!

Great job on the atmosphere and the visuals - it would be cool if you could refill oxygen somewhere. Other than that, its a pretty nice entry

The atmosphere of the game is really nice/pleasant ambient/beautiful art and cool UI. Such an elegant alien guest and a cute astronaut :). The idea of ​​the game is great. Fix some points and get a cool game. Well done guys πŸ‘
