That was neat! There's a pleasant lightheartedness about the whole adventure, and the music is soothing and atmospheric.
The audio is mixed a bit loud; any combination of music and sound effects clips the audio above -0 dB.
Good work!
Thanks, I must admit the I added the sfx fast without too much adjustment xD, I agree with the loudness.
That was a fun ride through a few galaxies. Y'all have an interesting concept and made some nice audio + visuals to go with it. Thanks for making and sharing it!
It's quirky, and clear, and it's got pretty colors. It also feels like you've gotten what's on offer by the second galaxy.
This was really entertaining. I loved all the stories within. Is there a death/ending scenario? I got to having 0 crew and was able to keep going. The art, music, and ease of play made this quite addictive.
Thanks for playing. There is no way of losing, but it could happen that you run out of all resources and there are no options available, I hope we managed to avoid that with the balance. There is for sure a way of completing the game. Glad you liked it!
Thank you for playing and praising the stories!
There is no death/ending but lets say you should be losing in those situations.
Best.
Excellent writing! This is the kind of game where you just know the people involved had fun making it.
Also the OST with FTL vibes fit perfectly. Really solid game, and a lot of fun.
Indeed, it was super fun to make, it is one of those games I would want to continue just to keep writing funny stuff. Thanks for playing it!
Building something FTL inspired fits perfectly to the theme. Fun to click through and thumbs-up for Expanse references!
Thanks for playing it, and happy you found those references :)
Very atmospheric soundtrack! I love the nice touch of being able to change the color palette with the number keys without having to enter a menu. The storytelling is also really funny!
Thanks! I'm happy you liked the OST.
I really like the graphic style. The game idea is super relaxing and the dialogues are funny.
Thanks!
Nice implementation, very clean.
It was a little confusing what would happen if I ran out of any given resource (mostly concerned with "people", but others probably matter as well). I also managed to get enough luckies to pay the troll tax at the black hole and expected to hit a victory condition or something, but felt a little upset when it looked like I just started another round. It's not "wrong" if that's intended, but just had a "feels bad" moment on my end is all.
I agree, that option should always have a unique positive outcome, when we were making the events we were more focused on adding options and outcomes than what would happen if in some cases. Thanks for playing.
