How does the game fit the theme?
The game asks the player to trust Buddy, the procedure, the rescue ship, and even their own expectations of how a game is supposed to work. In the end, they shouldn't even trust the game itself.
*** Spoiler below ***
A scam that ends the game before it really gets started.
The game fits the theme through the idea of “Trust No One.” The player trusts Buddy because his instructions feel like a normal tutorial, but Buddy never tells them the whole truth. The player follows the procedure, believing they are preparing to escape, only to discover that the rescue ship leaves without them.
The game also plays with the player's trust in the game itself. When the ship flies away, the player naturally thinks, “What happens next?” - but nothing does. The game simply ends. The player shouldn't trust Buddy, the procedure, the rescue ship, or even their expectations of how the game is supposed to continue.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
For audio, I downloaded many SFX from Creative Commons sound packs. I listed all of the sources I used, and in some cases I combined multiple sounds and manipulated them to fit the game.
I also reuse main menu hierarchy from my another project. Even with changes (accesebility option) - that was shortcut
How many people worked on the game?2

I liked the game, but sadly I couldnt figure out how to open the containers
Hi, thanks for playing! The containers will be possible to open once the rating period is over. We’ll upload an updated build then.
That’s why you’ll see lines in some places like: “To open this, I could really use a cosmic can opener” (something like this message) 😄
The game felt polished. I found three ending but I'm sure there were more. I don't know why but I just kept coming back to this game.
Oh, thank you for the compliment. Don’t worry about endings for now. There were supposed to be 8 achievements in the game. Unfortunately, for some reason, the browser and Windows builds don’t allow you to unlock the remaining 4. We’ll fix that after the jam.
This is our first 3D game. So when we read that it looks “polished,” we have mixed feelings, because we can see that there are still a lot of things that could be improved =)
Very nice and polished game. I LOVED the comedic intro. The game looked polished enough and gameplay was so immersive. Also liked the soundtracks and sfx nicely matching the atmosphere (turned out you didn't waste 70% of your time haha!)
enjoyed the humor, 2d in space suit hands. instructions were confusing so I didn't get far (couldnt open a container) in 3 attempts. I did freeze to death tho so I kinda finished once.
this is the most polished game and i love the endings
Really cool visuals and love the meta ending lol. It was cool finding all the easter eggs as well. Super fun and short lil game.
Would really appriciate it if you checked out my game as well
Wow, really polished! Any game set in space immediately hooks me, but adding a bit of humor with just a touch of horror sold me completely.
Short, but with solid replay value. Great job!
Great game visuals are so so good
Great game! Ending gave me matrix vibes, well done!
Thank you for playing! 😊
Haha I loved it. Also I survived! The art is great, audio fits well, gameplay is interesting, and the introduction text is the cherry on top. I think I found a bug. The first time I opened the control panel, mouse cursor did not appear. I refreshed the web page and started the game over and then it worked. Otherwise it was a fun experience. Nice work! Please check out my game as well.
Nice humor, engaging atmosphere (see what I did there) and potential for replay.
I liked the mechanics of it and the wall breaking end.
Thank You for playing ^^
Really funny :D
Thank you !
This was super cool! would love to see more gameplay post jam :) it was alot of fun.
Awwwww. Comments like this? We’re ready to build!
(sfx: sounds of putting a build together) =)
Really liked the artstyle but I wish there was more to play with? That was really short man. I loved the jokes on the start tho.
Awwww
Thank you for the really kind words. You played what we managed to make in just 3 days. We’re preparing an update and will release it after the game jam!
Waiting for the update then!
Liked the artwork of your game! Also I think I got tricked by flying around the map after the container blows up, thinking maybe there is something there lol, managed to get 3 achievements. Overall, a well made game!
Wow, you managed to get 3 out of 4 possible achievements. The game shows 8, but for some reason 4 of them do not trigger. Still, since you started flying, you would have gotten one more achievement.
In the post jam version, it will actually be possible to do something after the ship explodes. Three days was all the time we had, so that is as far as we managed to get.
Thank you for playing our game!
I think I don't understand what I'm supposed to do in this game, but the steering wheel really got me by surprise XDD Loved the comedic writing! You even included easter eggs, omg. Good job!
If you know what’s going on with the steering wheel, then you definitely managed to figure out what was happening XD
Thank You for playing <3
Very cool vibe! I fell for trusting the game. I guess I survived, but it was all a [spoiler]
The space cat story was hilarious
Oooo, I think you’re the first person to notice the space cat! 😂 Thank you so much for playing and for catching that little detail! I’m really glad you enjoyed it ^^
I love sound design! And also visual! Great job!
Thank You!
I’m really enjoying your game! The dialog skipping is impressive, the language and font changes are cool, and the story is funny. I already found three achievements — great game!
Oh, you found 3 out of the 4 achievements that are currently possible to get in the game! The rest didn’t survive the build process, so well done ^^
I’m not quite sure what you mean by the dialogue skipping, but we’re really glad you enjoyed the game!
I mean that you developed this option, that speedup dialog is possible - like this sollution
I like the jokes and the world building. But the gameplay I think could be improved. Maybe delay being left behind and let the player do even more things.
Thank you for the feedback! I’ll make a note of it. We’re working on a post-jam build where you’ll actually be able to do more and have more things to interact with
