Really nice visual. I don't think I will ever be skillful enough to get to the ship, though -- if the red dot is supposed to be the ship.

But I really like the gameplay, and I would enjoy having much abundant or unlimited oxygen to float around and explore if you add some points/objects of interest around in space so I can explore or collect before reaching my ship. Could be collecting parts of the ship that got blown out? Well, of course, that is... if you are going to develop the game further, beyond the 20-second jam.

BTW, the name of the game does not give the kind of nice slow-paced search feeling of the game, i.e., the journey -- but sure... asphyxiation is the end game that you want to avoid... but sounds a little horror-themed that I might not click on it to play.

Thank you for the feedback. Yea the setting is supposed to be dark and dangerous. The music should support that. The ship is at the red dot, yea. It also anderes your pings (space, tap on the astronaut) if you’re pinging it directly.

Actually, to a total noob like me, the setting and the music provide quite a soothing and tranquil atmosphere. Not a bit scary. The name of the game, on the other hand, feels a dark implication, not matching my feeling of the game at all. That's why I did not play your game sooner. And yes, I pinged the ship. But even if I didn't ping it (to save oxygen/time -- as the ship seemed to be always at the upper right corner), I still don't have enough oxygen to reach the ship. Would love to see a playthrough... to see the astronaut live!! :D

Cool game, I loved the minimalist style and the music is very fitting. Good job!

I'm a big fan of the 1bit minimalist style, great job! 

I did run into a bug where I ran off the top right corner (i think on the right) and it seemed to cause an infinitely loop of something to get called every frame and crashed the game.

Great looking game! We started with a similar idea but ended up with something completely different.

I was going to mention your game, it's interesting to see how both of you treated a similar idea differently. Both games are awesome in their own ways!

Awesome game, well done! I'm a huge fan of the art direction and the atmosphere (the panic and calm of space + the radars searching for us) that you managed to create in 20 seconds. I'm subscribing right away!!!!
