The visuals are great, and the space setting got me right in the heart. It’s my favorite! The game feels really responsive, though there’s a bit too much text. Thanks!

"Hold Q to Skip" not works. Graphic is nice

@asalidonat 3 seconds, I checked. Maybe it's too long...

An interesting perspective on life in space.

Great job on this project! The art style and audio work really well together, creates a great atmosphere. Super impressive what you managed to pull off within the jam deadline! Rated! We’d also love to hear your thoughts on our entry if you have some time!

Gorgeous visuals, and the music really makes you feel lost somewhere in deep space!

I've played to end, but couldn't collect all the records to fill the disk side. It took me a while to figure out how to play and I wasted too much time just clicking around without any thought to it.

I really like the calm atmosphere and the theme of the game. You managed to turn space machines into actual characters with their own personalities.

I also like that the game feels dynamic, something on the screen always moves.

I think the battery and time limits clash with the narrative of the game. I think the game is not supposed to be a challenge, and more of an interactive story. Would the game be better if there were no limitations and you could just enjoy it at your own pace?

I think the tutorial could have been much better. I've read the text at the beginning, but I didn't understand a thing, so I had to learn it afterwards, by just clicking around and seeing what happens.

Interesting game. A little heavy on the resources on my laptop apparently.

Update: Forgot that I have to turn on acceleration in the browser to make WebGL. Seriously impressive look the game has. It kind of makes me feel like my own entry looks like a mixture between a bag of nuts and an air biscuit 🤷

Love the games like this, interesting game

The idea of that lonely transmission still trying to reach home is such a powerful concept. The mood you established, coupled with the vastness of space, really makes the solitude hit you hard. Great work pulling off such a unique atmosphere!

Forgot to exempt from graphics and audio since its ai. Also why bother doing a jam if you aren't going to challenge yourself?

really loved the mood and the visuals here. calling up old machines and hearing their stories is a brilliant concept for the old tech theme. the only thing is the battery timer felt a bit too punishing for such a calm, atmospheric game. i wanted to take my time exploring the record.
