Really clever take on the theme!
Really well done, I love the simplified resource/gear system. The floatiness of the camera gave me a bit of a hard time.
I agree with siondream. A restart level hotkey would be ideal. Sounds could also have been a little bit better, but overall really fun! I'd love to see this developed further.
I love the use of sound to differentiate between the dangerous and safe objects, but a lot of people seem to be missing that detail. Might be worthwhile to explain it a bit more explicitly? :\
I had a little trouble at first until I figured out that you have to click on your own squares to expend/spread energy. Once I figured that out everything else fell into place. A good minimalistic take on exploration/colonization games.
Easily my favorite game so far
I love the visual style!
Controls felt great & ship animation was really smooth looking
With a few more features I'd absolutely keep this on my phone.
I'll agree that it doesn't feel very minimalistic, but the upgrading mechanics and the tongue-in-cheek humour of it are outstanding.
Really nice, fluid character animation. Controls/movement felt a bit heavy but it may just be my rusty platforming skills.
I'd also be interested in a Mac version if you get a chance!
Really pretty, with surprisingly unique mechanics.
This might sound weird but I wanted it to be a little slower paced? It felt like he was really eager to reveal every bit of information I might have wanted and that worked against the mood a bit. Still, a really good and different use of Ren'Py!
Man QWOP needs a soundtrack this good.
I'm glad I saw that through to the end.
Really addictive and unique idea!
Same as above, I wait and wait and wait and can't find any other players. :(
The graphics in particular really stand out, good work!
Eery and interesting. Mouse sensitivity was a bit too intense for me.
Clever technique, really fun. Reminds me a bit of Unfinished Swan, but slightly more sinister.
Looks great and it's a clever take on the theme, though it literally plays itself. Would have loved some more direct upgrade options, but it's an interesting game either way.
I love the context sensitive actions. Crawling into the big red chair was oddly satisfying?
This game earned my first all-5s rating. Really unique and well put together.
