This game has nice feeling to it. I liked the graphics style a lot and the gameplay is done well. At the beginning I had trouble with landing, but after while I succeeded.
Very nice game, great work!

This game has nice feeling to it. I liked the graphics style a lot and the gameplay is done well. At the beginning I had trouble with landing, but after while I succeeded.
Very nice game, great work!
Very cool game! I like low poly graphics and the overall style is nice. I got lost so many times! Would be nice to have something like compas so I would know which diretion I'm facing. Great work!
I've seen progress of this game while I was implementing my own. It is very cool. I love the graphics especially. Gameplay and sound effects are great as well. I had a lot of fun playing this game. Also would like to see more of this game done and polished!
I played it for a while and I must say that it is very cool! I've seen some NMS style games here, this one is very nice.. PLUS it has Mario!
It took me a while to figure out how to play. It is a bit hard, but I read the dev note.
The game itself looks and feel amaizing. Mechanics are very cool. When I have more free time I will definetely play this game again.
Great job!
Really nice little arcade game! Would be nice to have more different minigames (I only experienced two - is there more?). Good job!
Simple and very relaxing game! I enjoyed the music. If only it had more levels. But great job!
I must say that it is very nice concept. I can appreciate procedurally generated stuff and the star system looks amaizing. I really liked the graphics style. It would be nice to see more of the gameplay completed, it surely has potential!
Very nice game I must say. The cable management was pretty cool and other parts were nice too. Also I really liked the graphics.
I played the game for a bit. Simple yet well executed game mechanics. Music and sound effects are nice. It was kinda difficult for me to avoid rocks, but that may be just my reflexes being slow. Overall good work.
Simple game that works. Some music or sound would be nice.
I remember when they tested this on Mythbusters! It's a really nice theme interpretation. As for the gameplay it is simple and well done. Cool game!
Very cool simple little game! Gameplay is fun and alright, I really like the shooting mechanic. Only thing I miss is sound and some music.
Interesting little concept. Simple controls and nice graphics style. If only there were more levels and enemies. I liked it very much though. Would be nice to see it more completed.
This game has such a nice moody atmosphere. The music goes well with the theme and the gameplay is very interesting. It took me a while to figure things out, but after few minutes I got a hang of it and it was fun. Sometimes I got a bit stuck fighting endlessly, but it is very cool game. Great work!
I actually really enjoyed this game. It was tactiacal and fun gameplay. Graphics is very nice and suits the game well. Great job, I will play this again some time.
Cool ending! I very much enjoyed the graphics and overall mood of the game. I must say that I did not expect this kind of gameplay. It was relaxing experience, great work all the way!
Really nice looking game! Reminded me of Planetarium. I absolutly love the graphics style! Great work!
I don't know why, but the sound of the gun is so epic! I had so much fun killing the enemies. Very nice game, cool and polished gameplay.
Expected someone to make a game with "No Man's Sky" reference, but not in my wildest dreams did I see this coming! Oh snap! I like everything about this game!
I must say that is is a neat little game. It is a little bit hard because you cannot stop time and you have to decide quickly.
I really enjoyed the feeling of the game. I would suggest notifications showing above the person, or at least name because sometimes I wasn't sure if the person does a action or not.
Overall interesting concept. I would like to see it more elaborated.
Very fun and casual game. I enjoyed smashing all the looters though they won in the end... Nice mechanics and simple gameplay. I like this very much.
Fun little game with nice use of the theme. I really enjoyer dialing the phone!! The music in the menu was a bit "strong" for me, but otherwise great game.
Love the graphics style too.
Mininalistic and really cool game! I enjoyed playing the game. Great Job!
Really great game which is complete and polished - ready to go! Riding Mammoths was real fun! Amaizing what you did in 72 hours!
One of the best theme interpretation. I like how oldschool this game feels. It has very nice and cool gameplay. Great job, really fun game.
@Chris0903: Game starts paused. You are supposed to send out scouts to nearby planets to collect "Scrap". You can unpause the game using a button (top left corner) or by pressing space on your keyboard. You have limited time to scout each system.
- Hope it it a bit more clear, I did not have time to implement proper tutorial
@TheFlyingSatan
@cushycode
I'm glad you liked the game mechanics. As you both said it needs the step-by-step tutorial a lot! I had it all planned to play in the beginning, but time wasn't on my side.
@teamBallShui I originally planned to have end game goal, but there wasn't enogh time to pull it off. So I made it into endless game.
@Geared Games: Thank you very much for your feedback! I know exactly what you mean! I found out about the lack of challenge too late to do anything about it. Enemy power (maximum possible amount + damage) depends on number of systems you already visited. I think that making Hull upgrades more expensive everytime you purchase it would balance the game quite a bit. Sadly it is too late to change it (even though the change would be a one-liner).
@Geruhn: That is the only bug I know about. If you die being killed by another ship, there is endless loop of blowing up sound. Sorry about that!
@Alsatian Studio: You can play WebGL version here - or on my website:"http://ld.novotmike.com/". Hope that helps.
Simple but fun. Idea with the sun and the mirror was the best.
First of all, yuor english is just fine but the misspelling was extremely entertaining. I love the animaion and the story behing staying in the room. Sadly I didn´t make it so far since I replaced my lemon with seccond copper plate. I tried it one more time but the battery thing is a mystery for me. For improvements I would suggest adding glow around the selected items. At one point I was clicking everywhere without knowing if I am doing something or not.
It made me think about myself in these situations and that is exactly what I seel in games like that. Funniest was when I caught myself looking on the ART. picture for good minute or so. deep
I believe there is a story behind this game but as an outsider to that it felt like extreme mess. Like in any kind of art, adding controversy doesnt always mean adding "artsy" value this was no exception. But the game was trippy... I suppose it can be enjoyable after smoking weed.
I love the art style of the game. Thematically nice fitting the life of Grannies in the Retirement house. Gameplay was for me mostly clicksmashing but it was worth it because of the funny ways of escaping.
I really like this game. And the reason why is the balanced gameplay. every wave was harder and harder but still managable. NIce variety of enemies made a really entertaining experience. I couldn´t pick up the third gun( I spammed Space all around it but nothing happened).
The theme is cool and the sound of gunfire, the pew pew, is extremely funny. good job
Graphics, music and the feel are the hignlights of the game. There is not much of the gameplay but I can imagine this game for young girls. Just let them click trhough various items to find pixies and they might be satisfied. Wow everytime I comment on the neat game I think to myself: Such a shame there is only One room :D
It was cool at the start, but after couple minutes I got bored. Cool monsters.
Cool concept, simple execution. Every oponent is like miniboss in actual game. the enemies get out of hand realy quickly. I appreciate the scaling of dificulty by adding mechanics rather than stats like hp or dmg. Good job
The art of this game is very nice. For this type of art is better to do the platformer becase you never see if you are about to hit the others and the game looses on playability. Sound was spot on appart of the yell when enemy died. that was terrifying and loud
If there is something I really like it's minimalistic desing. This game is so simple in concept and graphics yet it is very fun to play. It's cool that there are multiple ways to solve a level. Great work!!
When you first time stand in the middle and see the walls moving that was so great. All around very well made, music as well as sounds were simple but quite fitting.
I've seen this game during the developement. It's concept is so simple, yet the game is really fun to play. I must say that I like the whole style of the game. Great work!
I kept playing again ang again to get all the cool stories of pilaging golems. Very funny and well made. The is room for improvement in gameplay section. The game could use some balancing and clarification of what is going on.
Overal simple concept. Puzzles were quite simple and restricted to the small space. You made quite big room there with all the stuff and could use all that space to create something bigger but I respect your choice. I recomend you to add some simple story to give the game more personal appeal. Just few simple lines on the beggining and end would work a least for me.
Good job, carry on.
Interesting experience. Both graphics and sound were very well executed. It really felt claustrophobic and deep. Actual gameplay wasn´t much fun. next time I would add the end or some challenge or at least balance between apearing of mobs and possible clear.
Interesting game. I like this game a lot, simple graphics, mechanics and fun gameplay. It was a bit too difficult for me to survive in the beginning, but then I got better. Music is nice too. Nice work!
I really like the whole mechanic of planet gravity. It is such a cool and fun game! In addition graphics looks amazing and the gamplay is challenging yet still fun. I tried many times and failed and then somehow I did it. Really good job! Nice game.
@mrnyarlathotep thank you very much for your feedback. The rewarding system is a bit unfinished I must admit - the goal was such that power is limited and you can only get limited amount and survive till you finish the "quest".
@stefvanschie, @tyguy, @ditzel, @kungkras Thank you very much for the feedback!
@hunttis, @funkyhippo Thank you very much for the comments! The shooting is not a design choice even though it makes gameplay a bit more interesting. It is a just a bug. Thank you for playing! :)
Thank you all for your feedback!
@theflyingkeyboard, @toonteamj, @smbe19 Ship steering is a bit hard by design. If it was very responsive it would be very easy to avoid asteroids and ships. A bit tricky controls make you think ahead which you can since you see ahead. Nevertheless thank you very much for your comments!
I really enjoyed playing this game! I didn't have problem to find my cursor as others did. I love the graphics design and the whole style of the game. It felt right flying in the space - the controls were nice. Visual effects like shooting, trail and explosions were gorgeous. I would personally change the color of the font in dialogues - the light gray wasn't very visible.
Overall for me this game was very nice! Good job!
The whole concept of the game and mechanics are really cool. As others said a bit difficult to understand. I miss some time indication other than months (so I can see that the game actually runs). It is a bit hard to see the state of the game. Nevertheless this game has some real potential. It would be nice to see some more features (as you mentioned). Tutorial in game would also be nice. The style and sound effects very nice, I only miss some background music. Overall the game is a great idea and I like it a lot. Great job for 48 hours.
I like your take on the theme! For me it felt like RTS/Tower deffense only I wasn't the one defending. The graphics is really nice and polished and the music and sound effets complimented the game. Gameplay was also nice - classis RTS. Grat job!
Your take on the theme is so original! It was quite simple concept but very well executed. Nice graphics, cool puns and good music - what more could you want.
The concept of this game is very similar to what I've done. It is a great take on the theme! For me it was quite fun to play - only thing I miss is music and sound effects. The graphics is really nice, I like the explosion effect particularly. As for the gameplay itself controlls for me were a bit hard to master - the ship was turning slowly and the whole steering did not feel right. But I might just be nitpicking. Overall great work! I really like this game :)
I really like puzzle games! For a 48 hour game this is great work and your take on the theme is very nice. I would personally like to see some background music or a bit less annoying sound effects. Over all I like the concept and the execution!
I cannot get over how amazing the graphics looks. It is beautiful and really helps to set the mood for the whole game. Music and sound effects were also very nice and helped the mood a lot. I also like your take on the theme - for a 48hour game this is really polished and nice! Only thing I struggled with were controls - for me it was a bit difficult to master them during first few minutes of playing.
Overall this is an amazing job! Great game!
This game is really complex and has a lot of cool features. I really really enjoyed playing it since I like FTL stlyle games and mainly I like games set in space. This is something I always wanted to make/play so thank you for developing it. It is amazing how much you achieved in just 3 days. I like everything about this game - graphcs, theme usage, music and the mood and all the mechanics. Included tutorial is great. As for the gameplay for me it was at first very hard to orbit a planet (without scanner turned on). But then I got better at it. I had so much fun playing it - really it is a great game. My only complaint would be that the game is very complex - it is not bad in any was, it just takes a second to understand all the systems.
I like the idea behind this game - taking care of your spacestation a building it. Graphics and music are great. I personally would add some general UI to see how much resources I have and some notifications. Also some tutorial would be nice. Overall very cool game, nice work!
I must say I really like the power management mechanic. The whole game reminds me of FTL - whis is great because I like that game a lot! Music, and sound effects gave the game a really nice mood. Only graphics style for me was a bit strange and confusing - I would have liked something a bit more simple. But the gameplay and mechanics work together well. Cool game and nice work!
I enjoyed playing this game a lot! It is a simple mechanic and I felt like I could not do anything in time, but it was great. The usage of the theme and the scoring system are also nice. Music, graphics and the whole design as well. Great work.
This game is very simple in concept but I really like it. It suits the theme well and the controls are simple - just sit and relax. It is a relaxing game and I really enjoyed playing it. My end situation was 15. The graphics was great as well as the storytelling. Music and sound effects were also nice. Overall I thing your game is very cool and end a great entry. Nice work.
I like your use of the theme and how different abilities take different amounts of power. As for the gameplay the controls were great for me and the whole design of the game was good! I only miss some music and sound effects. The game is overall very simple in mechanics but I enjoyed playing it. Great work!
Very cool simple game. It is very polished and just easy to play. Great job!
Very nice little game - the mechanic is easy to understand and the gameplay was quite fun from the beginning. On the top of that music and sound effects were nice. Good work.
