Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.

How does your game fit the theme?
It's a game featuring a time loop: at the beginning of each loop you have to restart everything almost from zero!

Super cute! I just beat it but got stuck for a very long time because the crate holding the paper was almost impossible to look at. I suspect the aspect ratio of the screen is messed up somehow, I have a non-standard monitor, but maybe it’s some other collision issue. Anyways, looking at the paper would always trigger the door’s code, and since I initially didn’t know any better, I though it was a generic indication for an interactible. Only after reading the other comment about two pieces of paper was I able to very carefully finally read it. Comically, because I spent so much time being confused, I accidentally performed all the other tasks to escape so it was smooth sailing from there.

Really fun game with a cool puzzle concept and unique mechanics like the crowbar and reset loop. I did run into a few small issues—like being stuck on some menu screens and the door code not giving clear feedback when it’s wrong—but overall, it’s creative and a blast to play. Keep up the great work!

Really good graphics it really gives "space vibes". I found some bugs tho but I enjoyed the immersion

Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed the game. We were very short on time and unfortunately we missed some bugs

Beautiful game, like others have said the paper art style was a great choice. While it took a second for the directional input to adjust every time you entered a new area, I found that it didn't take away from the core gameplay. 

I really enjoyed the time loop mechanic and the puzzles were the right amount of challenging. I think I may have gotten softlocked though which is unfortunate because I wanted to keep playing but the code that you find on one of the sheets of paper doesn't unlock the top door. I wasn't sure if I was missing something, so I tried brute forcing every combination of the 4 symbols on the sheet and nothing worked. Just wanted to let you know about that bug!

Overall thought it was a cool submission!

First of all: thank you for the review, happy to hear that you liked it!

Regarding what happend: if you found both papers with the codes and tried to input them in the correct place (you need to match the colors) then it might really be a bug. We were a little short on time and coulnd't really playtest thoroughly, sorry!

Ohhh I think I never found the other paper because the one I found didn't match the colors. I'll have to play around some more thanks for letting me know

Feel free to ask for more hints if you need them!

I just beat it! Really clever use of the time loop mechanic at the end for the last puzzle. I was really confused for a bit before I understood what I needed to do. I think what I didn't realize before that was that you could go down from the first room into the cockpit with the main computer. I had to keep looking at the map to realize where I was. Really neat game though it was fun to think about.

I like the art, but its a bit difficult to figure out what to do and the directional input can be wack

Submitted(+2)

the artistic direction is so original and pretty!

Thank you very much! It's the first time we use this artistic technique, and I love it!

Very nice entry!

The puzzles are cleaver and funny and require you a little bit of thinking.
I really love the paper art style, I enjoyed exploring the spaceship
The controls are a little bit clunky, but it's the only downside of a really nice idea.

Well done to all of your team :)
