Preety neat! I had to search for the controls a bit but once I was in the aware, smooth sailing. Really lovely loop! There is interesting design potential.

Thanks for playing! Sorry for the confusion!

I really loved the game! It would’ve been nice to have some kind of upgrade or a safe zone you can reach before having to return to the same spot — a place where you don’t take damage.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the great suggestion! I'll def consider progression sooner for future projects

I got attracted by the visuals : ) looks nice and coherent. The gameplay felt like mine sweeper game, not knowing where you are setting foot. But I could never collect all the parts after many tries T.T

Developer

Thanks for playing! Sorry it's so frustrating!

Great idea, I really enjoyed this one!

Developer

Thank you!

Loved the animations, they made the game feel alive.  Wish there was some more mechanics to interact with. Also there was slightly too many ship parts to make many runs viable. Still had fun though nice work. Congrats on submitting!

Thank you for playing!

This is such a briliant game! (Please change that banner - put a screenshot in its place, don't hide that amazing art!) Loved the creative approach, and the game essentially teaches itself through gameplay!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! And for the suggestion! I think you have a good point about the art, so I took your advice haha

Great job taking a creative approach and polishing for a cohesive finished product. Thanks for making it!

Thanks for playing!!

I sadly got a bug where i was stuck drawing tiles indefinitely, i couldn't undo and i couldn't start the exploration phase :(

Developer

I'm sorry that your run was cut short, I hope you were able to enjoy it while it was working. I'll see if I can find out what went wrong.

Was really enjoying the game until I got the bug where the inputs stop working.

Developer(+1)

Sorry to hear that it bugged out on you. Something strange going on under the hood

Submitted(+1)

interesting concept. i struggled to not get killed though. nice work

Developer

Thanks for playing! It's a brutal planet for sure

Submitted(+1)

I really love the idea, mixing tower defense and the loop theme like this was very original ! I love the artwork too !

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you had a good experience!

Submitted(+1)

Really enjoyed the art style and the mechanics! but I could not remove tiles after placing them so I had to restart many times, also the zoom is doing weird things...

Developer(+1)

Thanks for giving the game a chance. I'm sorry to hear that it was not cooperating with you. I will look into these issues!

Submitted(+1)

The base mechanic is simple but enjoyable and really nails the jam's theme!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad the simplicity had enough depth to carry the game

Really well-executed idea. At the beginning, I thought it was too easy, but I left the farthest parts as the last ones, and getting there was challenging. Unfortunately, when 2 days were remaining I encountered a game-breaking bug where all my inputs stopped working, and that’s a bummer because it was fun and I really wanted to finish it.

Developer

I'm sorry about that >< I know people were having trouble finishing the game due to the design but a bug is certainly the most unfortunate way to end a playthrough...There's not much to see upon completion, really, but in the name of fairness I'm sharing the win screen for you guys that encountered that bug. Thanks for playing!

I had a lot of fun with this, creative and a change of pace from others so far. My one critique is that the gameplay is unclear at the beginning, it took me several minutes to figure out how movement works. Once I did I really enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks for sticking with it >< Glad you had a good time!

Submitted(+1)

Kinda confusing in the beginning, but it's super enjoyable once you get it

Developer

Thanks for playing! Appreciate you giving it a chance

Very fun and well executed idea. I just wish there were more interactions and content. Loved it!

Developer

Thank you! not enough content is always a good problem to have ^^
