Ranked from 14 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.
How does the game fit the theme?
You're in a random orbit-less planet, far away from the Known Universe. Nothing there follows the traditional space rules we know. And each day, everything changes.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All graphic assets are from the Unity Assets Store (sadly).
The rest is made by the team.

Despite the camera issue that other's has been having, I think the game is quite fun. I do like stargazing, and I am always happy seeing that in a game. The concept is really nice, and I think there is potential to make it a cosy observer narrative game, if that makes sense. I quite enjoyed the AI and the things it said. It's a bit sad seeing how it ends, but I swear I've read all of them, I promise.

Thanks for playing, you're right with everything. The making the game harder each day was an idea, but considering I made all the events in the last all-night made me cut all fun content that required more than copypasting. That includes the ending, sadly. But well, maybe in the future I polish it!
I liked it a lot! I like astronomy, and The Martian is one of my favorite books, so I liked the concept a lot. The camera was BUGGIN" for me though. When not in the telescope it was incredibly stuttery and hard for me to control, almost as if it didn't want to move. Telescope was fine, though. And I love the detail that the telescope actually moves when you look around, and is left off pointing in whichever direction you left it in!
ah i love a litte astronomy game
also for me the sensitivity was to high
That was fun, its really short though, and not much interesting things happening with the gameplay :(
also the sensitivity was way too low.
But it was still nice, the music is good and the fantasy of being on a planet in god knows where outside the observable universe is a really cool concept :D that skybox is really cool, I love it
would you care to explain that weirdly shaped planet in a blue shirt that looks like it has a pistol? another anomaly in the void?????
Congratulations on the game. It's very beautiful. I really enjoyed the cosmic environment and hunting for planets and asteroids. It really feels like you're aiming at the moon with a homemade telescope, haha. I loved the music. Very good.
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed.
Well done! So well rounded, graphics, music, controls and gameplay. Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!!
The them was nicely polished and camera movement was so smooth. Unfortunately my browser crashed. I'll try again later.
Really cool idea, but I couldn’t find the food. Also for some reason the camera controls were vibrating or something whenever I wasn’t at the telescope, making it hard to move around.
Actually I did find the food now. Also, the bed may not be a shape shifting alien, but I’m 99% sure the telescope is.
I like the style and the idea, and I really tried to find what to eat but couldn't. I want to see what happens can you spoil it for me where the food is hahah?
oh my bad there, it's actually near the pod, it's not actually food, so I understand the confusion
Ooh I get it, I thought that was one whole object, cool game.
