¿Cómo utilizaste el tema? / How did you use the theme?
While the game is not set in space the same way as Invaders would, it does feature other planets on a scale and overall, is about finding a new planet in the realms of space to live in, and the game is implied to be set on a fictional planet.
¿Cómo utilizaste el subtema? / How did you use the subtheme?
This game is about a star that the planet the player is on turning into a red giant in a highly exaggerated manner, and the player has to escape before it's too late.

the dirt on the screen triggered my OCD , that and the ominous feeling that I am going to die and the horrible sound of that old telescope . then finally getting a sense of hope." I found it this is the one ." only to find out that... OK This would make a great movie. Nice work.
This would very much indeed make for a great movie, I haven't seen the idea of an end like this presented at much at all, and the worst part is that the event in this game will actually happen one day... well much slower than this game at least, but still.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and oh yeah, sorry about the dirty screen, maybe I should make it worse ;')
This game gives me Mike Klubnika vibes. If you don't know him look him up and play his older games as well. They might give inspiration. I loved looking for a planet but damn it was hard to find something suitable. Music would add to the atmosphere a lot as well. Loved the game tho. Good job.
Never played his games before, but I am familar with him, especially Buckshot Roulette. It seems like I accidentally took inspiration from his style in this game without knowing it, ha.
Yeah, this game is pretty difficult and complicated, albeit I will add a difficulty option in the next update once this game jam is over that makes it so less parameters are taken into account and displayed, so you won't need to pay attention to as much details as you need about each planet. My friend who tested this said this was a very difficult game too, sorry about that, >:D.
I'm glad you enjoyed this game.
His games The Other Side and Carbon Steel might be the best place to look further inspirations in my opinion. Good luck with you future projects!
Class G Ending👍
It took me a bit to get used to the controls haha
It's fun, although it took me a long time to find a habitable planet (like life itself) and I didn't die because of the time limit. Maybe it's a bit dizzy going from one screen to another, or maybe it's just me. It was fun.
I did not originally plan to make a bit of a hard game at the start of this jam, but it looks like with this one, it would seem like it be that way.
I made the controls in a way so it would focus less on the UI, but it might be a bit harder to adjust to since this game is a bit different.
The endings are actually based on the star sequence rankings, from M being the worst, and O being the best, or a black dwarf if you die from not making it to the end. (the irony here is that K would have you dead in this game, even though theories suggest that this star type would be the best for life)
I'm glad you enjoyed the game ❤️, even though I did not really have a friend test the game for me until near the end. I would have made a web port for this game, but the file sizes got a bit too big and I didn't know how to optimise the game in time.
I don't have a problem with the difficulty, it's fun in its own way. Maybe I would appreciate some more minigames.
Regarding the controls, the main problem was leaving the mouse to press Enter in the minigame, especially with the rush of fear of running out of time. It was a bit tedious.
When the game jam is over, you can easily try to make the port for the web. Good game overall👍
