Great game but interactions are slightly slow!

Submitted(+1)

I love the visuals! I think the big head caught me off guard in the first half, and I found it very funny. The strong points of this game are the story and the dialogues you get when you explore or interact with objects, which provide great immersion.

I felt the interaction with the world was a bit too long for me, which made me want to do other things than just wait. Maybe adding some challenges like QTEs during the interactions could introduce a lose condition and some challenge to keep the player engaged.

Overall, the game fits the theme well and has a really good story. Nice submission!

Good game with a vise message! But: when I fixed capsule text about fixing it didn't disappear. Also it would be cool if there would be two button for cutscenes: 1. To skip current speaker. 2. To skip full dialog. Also it would be cool if screen fade was a bit faster, because I pressed space and I don't know if my game lagged or it really pressed.

A Good game i would say for sure. But the interactions seem way too slow and making me fell like it is not working at all. But he idea and the story is great. The low poly art style is great with good sound design. A good game overall.

Pretty great game. Slow interactions between player and object making a great horror atmosphere, as well as low-poly and a greatest ambient I`ve ever heard (not really, but that wasn`t sarcasm.) However, game`s overall slow pace, made it a bit boring, and level desing is too open. You need somehow attract a player to a place you want him to be,  if you`ve ever going to work on this project, cause I`ve searched about 30 minutes for a capsule to be bugged out, restart and finish it all in 3 more minutes.
(And if you wanna continue working on game, change first cutscene`s astro model, i found them too much funny and inatmospherical. Or dont. Cause they are funny and inatmospherical. That may relieve tension before the game. Just got your attension to that)

Thx for the game)

I very like this game, It have a big potencial for a complete game. The interactions were bit slow but I enjoy the game a lot. Great game!

Not bad, the interactions were a bit slow though and it would've been interesting for you to use more show don't tell elements for the planet's mysteries, as the story was interesting but too much was conveyed over dialogue alone. The concept is cool and I like the creepy elements to it, graphics were decent and the audio design was pretty good. Overall decent experience.

Good work.

I love the idea of this and i too almost got lost after leaving the ship. This has soooo much potential, please keep updating this.

Submitted(+1)

haha i liked the character meshes with the big heads! Movement was kinda slow but i get that its probably more accurate. I did wonder away from my ship too soon and almost get lost but overall good game

Submitted(+1)

I really liked this game, hopefully you havent predicted the future. I felt like the game could have gone 1 of 2 ways, you could have made it more of a phycological  horror, by making the player hear and see things but I still like the way you did it

Submitted(+1)

I love the game atmosphere and the concept is interesting! I believe that once you polish it (faster interactions), it will be awesome!

Submitted(+1)

I liked the visuals and audio, story was also good but movement and interactions felt really slow. Overall, good job!

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed playing your game! The atmosphere was very well done also and I liked the visuals of the planet and astronaut.

I did notice at one point that the text was overlaying on top of each other at the top left but other than that, great game!

Submitted(+1)

The credits screen in the menu is, uh, very informative 😂😂

Anyways - love the story, that was crazy. Did not see the recording coming, nor the ending. The atmosphere is really good too!

I do agree with the rest of the comments about it being a bit slow and stuff, but I saw your responses saying you're aware of it so I won't bother you too much with that haha

Good job, either way!

What a fun adventure, great visuals too :D Really well done guys! Put some more work into the story and you’re set to publish a cool game :)

Like the story and the atmosphere. Good game.

Interesting idea. Music and plot are good but maybe this theme needs a bit more time to get some more dialogues to move plot further. 

Submitted(+1)

Very good game , however i found the interaction too slow ! And the text “space to continue” is on top of the mission text !

Submitted(+1)

Amazing and unique visuals!! Good take on Space adventure!

Excellent game!! Keep it up!!😁🙌🙌

Submitted

Nice game! I like the look and concept! The only problem I had was that interacting with things took forever.  And that can make things kind of boring. I enjoyed it nonetheless!

Thanks for feedback.  We already know about all the problems of our game, and we will try to fix everything. Glad that you enjoyed it)
