An interesting concept, with pleasing visuals. This game reminded me of the good old Flash games.

I'm glad I picked Easy because it took me a while to finish all three stages. There was a good level of variety between stages but they also had some shared mechanics (like balance) which varied in importance but was always there. It was a good mix. The tutorial text was a bit full-on but it was useful to go back and read the one mechanic (per stage) that I could not grasp just by playing around with it. Nice entry.

A fun and challenging survival game with pleasing visuals and a nostalgic Flash Game feel. The three stages offer a nice mix of variety and shared mechanics, especially the balance system. The tutorial is a little dense, but useful to revisit. Great entry!

特别有意思的设计思路!我很喜欢这个技术倒退的想法,音乐和画面配合得也很好,色调很舒服,有一种复古小游戏的感觉,很贴合主题!我玩起来稍微有点卡顿所以稍微有点困难,不过总体玩起来还是很有意思!特别好的游戏!

机制很棒,玩法相当有趣。就是我的电脑不知道为啥到后面很卡。画面也很舒服,背景好看。Great mechanics, actually fun gameplay。A bit laggy in the latter parts of the game for my pc。 Good graphics and background

The way the ship's dangers shift and evolve as the technology declines is a genuinely clever design choice. It makes the survival element feel less about dodging and more about adapting to a fundamentally decaying environment. Really unique entry!

@eugenik Thanks for the kind words! Having the hazards change as the technology regresses was one of the main ideas I wanted to explore, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I also came across your game on the front page—it looks really polished! Unfortunately, I'm on a Mac, so I haven't been able to try it, haha.

I find the idea and design quite amusing, but the mechanics are separated, as the attacks don't make much sense. Too much information and mechanics stuffed into the beginning, and I can only try to understand them by reading the texts...AT ONCE.

If the game gradually progresses, unlocking new mechanics and messages teaching them, it would be a much more smooth experience.

Good idea, nice graphic

The idea of the ship regressing from advanced tech to steam to wood and fire, with the hazards changing along with it, is a really clever take on the theme. My main issue is the tutorial dumping everything at once, I had to re-read the terminal a few times to figure out what kills me and what I can block. Still a solid, unique entry with a nice nostalgic Flash game vibe. Good job!))

有点卡,即使是简单难度,后面飞船失重,各种伤害扑面而来,要想活下来也挺难的,木板和金属板的存活玩法挺有新意的

The numerous possible actions are cool, but I experience performance issues, like stuttering or very brief freezes, and sometimes didn't know why a get hurt

Help at the start is welcome 👍 then it should not be mandatory to look at the monitor once you already read it, in a loop where you die a lot it begins to be annoying 😅 I like the idea of tech aging backward. It's a cool concept, good immersion
