The atmosphere is nice and the maps finding was good. Game was short but nice to play but bit easy too as was simple to get more o2. Good work on the game
thanks
The atmosphere was really good and being able to find maps you could pick up was a nice touch. Great work!
thanks
I liked the graphical style and the SFX choices. All in all, brisk and fun.
thanks for playing and extra thanks for sharing a play session
Nice game! Reminds me a little bit of another one called REPOSE ; you may want to take a look.
thanks, I'll check it out
I liked the minimalist design and the importance of refilling on oxygen meant that you had to be careful with your explorations.
thanks for playing
Evacuation successful!
This game have a bunch of nice elements to it: the atmosphere is really good, movement is instant and have a good feedback, discoverable map is such a good way to lead the player towards the goal, and specimen hunting was quite nice.
What I would love to see, is as with most of the games with instant movement, some variety in wall/floor art, even some projected decals with some dirt or scratches on them, as that will help orientating quite a lot.
Great job!
thanks for playing. Originally wanted to create different assets per room, but alas, ran out of time. Maybe next year. Thanks for your feedback
I don’t even mean more variety in assets, don’t get me wrong, just something to add additional feedback when you move.
Imagine that you’re playing with audio muted and have a long straight corridor in front of you. In perfect crawler you have some visual feedback for each step, like different floor, ceiling or wall art with even minimal variations, like scratches, dirt spots or discoloration of any sort. It should benefit any instant-step movement crawler as you’ll get a visual feedback on each step. And it can be placed appropriately to the view distance, so you can keep track of your movement by looking at “that wall with a dark spot on it” or “floor with some scratches”.
I see, good suggestions, thanks
Hey! Loved this project. Felt a lot like a Kubrick movie for whatever reason, very cold and isolated, I really liked the vibe. I like that you can chill and look around without stressing about oxygen, it’s a different kind of tense I wasn’t expecting. Cool game!
glad you liked it, thanks for playing
Interesting game! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the games from the Dungeon Crawler Jam.
thanks for playing, its cool to see you are still playing small indie games
I escaped! Everything is here for a nice, solid crawler. The crawling mechanics felt good, the spaceship felt claustrophobic and the oxygen mechanic made you think efficiently with your time. I liked you didn't have the map starting out, it would have been way too easy if you did.
Nothing much to complain about, I think some ambient sounds or music might add to the immersion of the space ship and some more content could do well but it's a jam so it's jam sized lol. Otherwise, solid crawler.
Gameplay starts at 19m

Yeah, this game ticked all the boxes in good way! Good job!
thanks
Quick and simple game, well executed!
I did make it out on first try. Instant step worked well.
Good job!
thanks
Yeah! I managed to snatch all the chickens and escaped sucessfully.
Nice and short.
Thanks for sharing!

Evacuation successful :-) Nice and simple game.
thanks!
"Evacuation successful" The game is pleasant to control so with the added time pressure it was fun to walk through.
