It was pretty fun doing the puzzles! I loved the atmosphere and amiga-themed spaceship thing. Audio design is on-point:)

The message when you lose the game is kinda sad..

This project is truly captivating. Everything about it is good, but not perfect. You can tell the game was made with love for the aesthetics of old games, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, but that’s not a downside — it’s a huge plus, and for that we can praise the developers. You’re awesome, keep it up, and I believe you’ll succeed.

Really cool idea with having to rule out system based on the clues you get. The graphcis are really nice - I especially like the moving cloud patterns on the planets. The atmosphere was really strong as well. The only thing I can criticize is that the game puts you back to the start when you get a guess wrong. I was at the 4th system and made a wrong guess, which was quite frustrating. Other than that amazing work!

@shlolo Oh that's a good note alright, especially for a jam game. It was frustrating enough going through the dialogue over and over to test things during development! Thanks for the feedback.

I enjoyed doing fun puzzles and game audio is good too

Nice fun puzzle game. poor ship :(

Aesthetic is really clean

Wow, this is cool! A very well put together logic puzzle. Simple and short, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. The planets are absolutely _beautiful_ - what was your process to build them?

best mood this jam! 10/10

@justinmullin Thanks! I didn't hand-craft the planets, they are the output of a 2D shader. Each one just takes a set of palettes and to tweak a few options (clouds or not, and sun direction being the main ones) to get all of the ones you see here, including the big background ones and the ones on the nav screen.

The Amiga feeling was well reconstructed... I can also see they added a third led for the warp drive 😄 Great work with those planets!

Took a few tries but I think I made it to the 4th system. Really cool deduction game with exquisite presentation to match

I'm not sure if I really have any qualms tbh. Part of me feels like the instructions got a tiny bit vague as the game went on, but that may have just been a skill issue from my side. Especially since this sort of game isn't one that I usually play

None the less, it was definitely damn interesting to play through. Seeing the art for each solar systems was definitely it's own reward. Great stuff here overall

Great entry! Loved the art style and the planets. Couldn't find the planet and got lost in the middle of the space :( One thing regarding the music: when arriving to the next destination there's a bit of overlap between the travelling music and the normal one.

randomhuman 2026-10-21 16:34 ♥ 0

@the-fazzo Thanks, glad you liked it!

The normal music never stops, the travel music is just layered on top of it and is just an extra instrument. Did it not sound good? I wasn't sure if there was something special I had to do to get them to sync up.

the-fazzo 2026-10-21 17:08 ♥ 1

Oh I see... it felt more like crossfading between two tracks instead of layering an instrument. But with this info will give it a new try and see!

Amiga never dies! 🖥️✨

As a former editor for the French Amiga fanzine Obligement back in the late 90s, this game hit me straight in the nostalgia!

An Amiga 12000 three million years in the future with corrupted memory? Absolutely brilliant premise for the theme! The retro vibe, the sci-fi humor, and the journey back in time to save this legendary "ordinosaur" are top-notch.

Really cool entry, super fun to play, and a massive heart stroke for the old-school Amiga fan in me. Huge congrats to the team/dev! 👏

Very nice game. I like the reference to Amiga. The planets were looking very nice and I really enjoyed the riddles, but starting from the beginning after wrong guess is really annoying. Other than that, very good job!

frederika 2026-10-21 22:53 ♥ 1

Really good game! It was fun to figure out which system to travel to next. I loved the art style and the audio was very effective.

randomhuman 2026-10-22 15:22 ♥ 1

@jacky-san Wow an expert! 😄 I hope I got the details right, I haven't used an Amiga myself since the early 2000s probably but it was one of my favourite computer systems that I've owned and it was really fun to revisit it briefly.

helgust 2026-10-23 20:27 ♥ 1

I love the style! I really like animation transition between star system, and whole vibe of lost in space!

amkingtrp 2026-10-24 22:23 ♥ 1

I loved this one; the spaceship being the drive portion on an amiga with the lights for power, disk access, etc. Was half expecting to see the flashing lights of death before a software failure / guru meditation popping up. The puzzles were really well thought out (and the planetary maps reminded me of Frontier, also on the Amiga). Loved the graphical style (reminds me of Boltgun's cutscenes).

Cool idea, really liked the graphics, especially the texture effects of the planets and stars. It was very exciting to solve the puzzles. A wonderful job was done

local-minimum 2026-10-25 12:59 ♥ 0

I managed to get to the end even though I got quite confused on the last puzzle. Felt very sure that all of the rules applied to at least another system! The graphics was very nice. In particular the planet shaders. The sound effects were also very good. The music fit well with at least one of the parts feeling very sci-fi. The story was sad and cute at the same time, especially with that finally posed question. That made me smile.

I feel like the game was perfect length for its content.

Incredible mood and art on your game! The typing SFX is like ASMR in retro space, love it. The concept is simple but you manage to make a good progression out of it. I'd love to have some extra tools to take notes on the planet, or like a small query language to compute information on a system. That could allow to expand the concept further maybe? Anyway, I had a fun time with your game and it took me back to my Amiga 500 years!
