Excellent work. The art, music, & presentation overall is very well-made, & the gameplay of avoiding water is fun & engaging. Great job.

Excellent work. The art, music, & presentation overall is very well-made, & the gameplay of avoiding water is fun & engaging. Great job.
The art is excellent & very detailed, & the chosen music, while unfitting to the situation, is actually quite humorous because of how thematically out of place it is. I also really like the mechanic & concept of controlling around mechs to fix certain parts of a ship.
However, the gameplay itself doesn't do much to motivate the player to play the game. I assume fixing parts of the ship slows down the amount of time until the game ends, but that is never directly communicated, & the game doesn't give you any idea of your performance or time spent playing before booting you back to the title screen. Having the amount of time the player lasted in some form of end screen would make the game much more enjoyable to replay. Other than that, having some markers that show you what parts of the ship need to be fixed at any given time would be nice. Good job!
I'll edit my comment when the game is unlocked & leave a review, the title & description are enticing.
Excellent game, the art & sound are both exceptionally well-done & they do a great job at immersing you into this alien planet. Having the trackers on the map be more clear if it's a science artifact or a power artifact would be nice, but overall this is a very well-made game.
Excellent job. The gameplay of moving around & hitting the white shapes while avoiding the red ones is fun, &, while still a bit unexplained; I still picked up on it quickly. The theming of the star exploding is also well executed, & the ending cinematic of the star bursting out with beams of light was exceptionally well done.
The art is nice & consistent, especially with the expressive main character. However, the gameplay is very repetitive & unengaging, & after a while it just felt more sensible to not play at all to get to the end quicker. Good job though.
The art is well-made & expressive, & the gameplay of getting the laser on the mirror is decently entertaining. The time between losing & the retry screen feels a little long, but other than that this was a fun little game!
Art is well-detailed for a 48 hour jam game, & music is pleasing to listen to. Unfortunately, I got stuck on the level where it introduces how to control the delay time. Good job though!
This might be the best game I've played in the jam so far. The game loop & design is very well thought out & fits the theme perfectly, everything is super polished, the art looks great, the sound is good, excellent job on this one.
Finally got my game, "Find, Fling, Repeat" done in time for the compo! Play it here in browser: https://jamchills.itch.io/find-fling-repeat
