Huge amount of efforts. I see the potential of this game since I have hundreds of hours in Factorio. But right now I don't have enough time and brain resource to dive deep into game mechanics :) The game is time-demanding (learning curve, play session length). But you guys made an awesome machinery.
Well made for the solo Jam format. The major thing, IMO, the alarm screen should not overlap an incoming landscape.
Honestly, text-based quests and adventures is not my forte, but I'd notice efforts you've put into this solid game.
As previous players said, the gameplay rules are unclear. Graphics and sound are good. I'd notice planet-friendly and cozy colorful graphics and color palette.
Nice idea, the gameplay can hook the player. Give player some scoped weapon and increase the shot range, and this game will be much enjoyable. Points system in underdeveloped, by the reason of short play session and ineffective turrets.
Well made for solo submission. Seems that this is your first LD jam - really nice work, like you have skill and vision of building games. I would not enumerate underdeveloped stuff, you know it.
Game is launching fine. I did not get the goal... to advance as far as possible? Did not get how to deal with shop - prices over stuff would be good. Also I did not understand how to manage route: no build controls, no buttons to build a railroad segment etc (at least it builds automatically). In other aspects, nice idea for an arcade shooter. I've got interested in gameplay, got pretty far during second run, died by uncertain reason. Also mouse sensitivity is incredibly high.
Congrats with first LD participation and submission! Actually, the game is well done. It is fun to play for a couple of minutes. There is a lose condition, and a win condition. Fully working core loop is more important sometimes, than tons of unfinished features.
Well done game, except one thing: there is no "win" condition once ship get Home. Controls feel nice.
Well-made game with solid game loop. Zero bugs spotted.
Interesting idea, but core loop is unfinished. It might be playable with two features: - events at stations (get cargo and passengers, get a new destination, unload cargo/passengers) - zombies?
Also restart is bugged (that is also a game loop bug).
Awesome and huoooge game. Crew management is a little underdeveloped: the only thing the Player can do for the ship or crew is to collect resources. If the player were able to fix the systems themselves or take care of the team, it would open the door to more complex and challenging gameplay.
In other aspects, very solid and well made game! Juicy visuals and interiors. And the detail: the ship above planets :)
Hi there, Tim! Add me, check our game ;)
I've played this game right after you published it. Your game itself claims the highest score in "Innovation" category, in my opinion.
I also played some other your games here.
Today I am revising LD and playing and giving ratings.
Hi there! I have not got an Idea. Or is it not fully implemented?
What I thought about game at first glances at screenshots:
1) Player can choose what Mech parts be repaired in next turn. 2) Shooting enemies (waves?) with repaired (or not repaired) guns. 3) Healing Pilot 4) Player gets the result of his management after some turns or waves.
What I got: randomized stories.
I wish your game, your Idea to be developed for some neaty result :)
Neat game. Juicy graphics multiplied by short gamplay (can't become boring).
Very cool! Great sound and visuals.
Nice and fun, nice music. But a little imbalanced, when it comes too much ingredients at one place at once.
Very Innovative! It deserves higher ratings, for its curiosity :)
Got over 80 easily, as found how to effectively control the vessel.
I must notice the jarring sound when bullet hits - please manage some more pleasant sound for main actions in your next games :)
Considering your time limitations, the game is fine, has nice visuals and solid concept.
Hi there! (we met at GDsecreate's stream) Great game: if you really made it Solo in 72 hours, this game deserves to be in Top-100. It looks almost complete.
Issues I'd notice: 1) For this casual style make more contrast cursor (black arrow with white outline or vice versa). 2) Spacing for growing numbers. I mean money counter when cash exceeds 10k :) 3) Overlappings at the mailbox or at right controls (when it needs to manage trees or farm under UI). 4) A bit repetitive music.
Without these issues, it would be perfectly completed hypercasual game during LD format. I've finished game with $4200 with 4th attempt.

Skypiercer by Caladrius 2023-10-15T04:20:06Z ♥ 1
I have read the the predescription about text-based elements, so prepared myself to proper mindset, brought some fluids. Then I started. My right hand moved fast, and fingers of left hand accurately hit proper buttons, until I finally had entered the portal that led me to another level of indie gamedev pleasure. Good work.
Magnetic Rescue by SevenOne 2023-10-15T02:19:50Z ♥ 1
Feels like the space pilot is doomed. My record is ~70k points (I outsmarted the beam twice). But actually it is impossible to last longer since the beam cuts the way to another magnet or battery. Also did not figure out what "atoms" do and why to collect them. But as solo game, very solid result!

Space Cargo, Ltd. by ditam 2023-10-15T02:00:10Z ♥ 1
Congrats! Very solid and well-made solo jam game! As arcade, it might have some challenge element (like limited time or some danger). As tactical game, it might provide some more things to think about (fuel, repair). But anyway, very original concept, and game is pretty stable and playable!
Legends of Lore by siberpunk01 2023-10-14T20:30:49Z ♥ 2
Game is fun and well made, despite it has only two characters. Fighting (classic fighting!) is not a trivial task. So you made a noticeable effort on this. But.. installing a 25 MBytes jam game, seriously? :D
Loss Of Signal by Lee Martin 77 2023-10-09T04:30:01Z ♥ 1
Awesome game! The combination of mechanics and visuals has potential to become a crowd favorite (if developed further). Mini Metro, Osmos and similar games come to mind.
Trash.exe by Natano 2023-10-09T04:16:02Z ♥ 1
It is interesting to imagine programs as alive beings. Your game provides some sort of cyberspace fantasy - it is cool.
Control Your Luck by KinGelaim 2023-10-09T04:05:26Z ♥ 1
Funny reaction game. Also interesting hand made arts. As mentioned by others, LMB and RMB controls would be more intuitive.
Grey Eminence by alisher_fazilov 2023-10-09T03:58:03Z ♥ 1
Really nice LD submission for one man made game.
One Step Further by justking144 2023-10-09T03:46:30Z ♥ 1
Interesting approach to graphics. Also nice motivational conclusion.
Driller Instinct by MaximeG 2023-10-09T03:34:54Z ♥ 3
I've played this game too much. Let's say, digged too deep...
You can check the playtest on youtube. I edited the 1 hour video to be short as possible to highlight essential things I explored in your game.
Spoiler: dying being unable to get safe - that is the real tragedy of this game.

Cool game, also awesome mix of VFX and SFX.
Cat Games by alzhu1 2023-10-09T01:12:22Z ♥ 0
Well made and basically finished game. Unfortunately, not in "Compo" category. Such game might have been so cool in Compo. Would mention three imperfections: 1. no story or win/lose grounds 2. small amount of levels (and they are simple) 3. unobvious "last jump" mechanics.
ROLLiE and the Desert Drive by civmaniac 2023-10-09T01:02:23Z ♥ 2
Incredibly good work for the team of two people within 3 days! Very immersive game. The only imperfection is too repetitive music.
Bathtub Buccaneers by Cloverfall 2023-10-08T23:52:53Z ♥ 1
Can say I love this game prototype! It is a little naive, but fun and intense. So sad that it's short, and have lack of QoL stuff (like waves, HP bars, more realistic movement and so on..).
Gulvis Journey by J0ye 2023-10-08T23:48:42Z ♥ 0
Funny and well-made game! The main issue is: sand platforms mechanic is frustrating. Can't move towards points and bonuses, and can't do much with it with current mechanics.
Robo Rush Hour by michaelaranda 2023-10-08T21:45:34Z ♥ 1
Cool approach to tetris, awesome graphics and sound. I'd like to see more thrilling lore or story behind the scene :D
Squire of Holding by Juutis 2023-10-08T21:34:18Z ♥ 1
Ended with 4582, funny game. The main attitude it has: "what happens next?!" It might be better with SOME MORE advanced upgrades. I've got all upgrades at levels 6-7, then just collected money. p.s. Legendary tard is legendary. legendary-tard.jpg
Target Ball Z by TimBeaudet 2023-10-08T20:38:21Z ♥ 0
Very Hard to control the car. Tim mentioned "turning music down" for better control (as joke). But that actually might be an interesting mechanic. For narrow and calm places turn in-game music down (car less bumpy), for challenging places like pits player should turn music louder to jump higher. But overall, the game has its funny moments and "public parking" irony.
Introvertigo by Scott Steffes 2023-10-08T04:56:31Z ♥ 4
This game expresses well the annoyingness of annoying people. This funny moment when you want to quickly interrupt the conversation with the right words (as you think), but the person only gets excited. Of course, great graphics.
Cap Sized by LarsDu 2023-10-08T04:26:19Z ♥ 0
I downloaded this game because the preview was interesting - I was expecting interesting gameplay. Of course, the game is not finished and not polished. There is not enough challenge for the player, not enough freedom of action. Saving nearby drowning people (due to time limits) requires picking up everyone who is lucky enough to be nearby.
Train of memories by creativ4eg 2023-10-08T04:09:44Z ♥ 1
Very unobvious mechanics at first. I had to spend several restarts to figure it out. Overall, it is interesting and heartwarming. Pity that it's short. This concept could be developed into rich life stories or some kind of story arcs.
Bit Golf by badcop 2023-10-08T03:56:25Z ♥ 1
I've spent lot of time on this game. Interesting mechanic, and well-detailed (quite realistic) gameplay in terms of data compression :)
The Big Crunch by Ategon 2023-10-08T03:53:09Z ♥ 3
Nice mini games. Some graphics are moody and well done. The vibe reminds some sort of TV shows with short and ironic sketches.
