(My random thoughts, sorry...) The card design made me smile (reminds me fondly of the text on my BBC micro) :) Cosmo is the best! Wrap-around makes sense. xkcd!

i loved this one!! just when i thought i'd seen everything, it turns out there was a whole nother side of the moon that i hadn't even explored yet. i love all the character references (xkcd!!), and it was such a fun world to explore. the addition of a save system is also awesome, let alone in a pulp game!

Developer

Thank you so much! I struggled a lot with the menu and the save option but at the end it was extremely satisfying to implement this option, I'm happy to read that it has improved the game experience!

Congrats on your first game, this is really well done! Lots of nice surprises to discover. The wrapping made it feel like a big world to explore - I appreciated the paths to help you find your way back, that definitely helped me!

Developer

I had a sudden realization that the "round" map could actually lose the player completely, I'm glad to read that the paths helped as expected! Thank you for your nice words!

I've refueled! I love the wrapping map. And I must admit I liked all the references too! Well done, fellow jam-completer!

Developer

Thank you!! I can't wait to test the other games myself this evening!

Super charming! Olimar is one of my favorites!

I will probably work on a V2 where you have to find some pikmins before he gives you fuel! Thank you!

Loved all the references! Every time one popped up I was like "Hey I know that one!"

Developer

That was exactly the plan :-D Thank you!
