It looks beautiful and strange. Good hit on the theme. A strange and calm game.

Very cool style and enemy movement, tho I didn't  understand why my game ended when I had to collect one more lake :(. Overall I had fun gj :)

Developer

Thank you! And oh no probably a bug then, if the oxygen didn't run out, thats very unfortunate 😒

"How did my father die?"

"He's an all-American hero, son. You should be proud of him. While on a mission to gather samples, your father hid from a triangle alien behind a rock, but the triangle camped him so he ran out of oxygen. Want me to tell you about the flying rhomboids? I felt like I was tripping balls when I saw the footage."

"I'm good, thanks I guess."

Developer

This actually made me laugh, thank you! πŸ˜‚

I liked the atmosphere you created. It really feels like you are on a different planet (I mean moon :))

The gameplay is a bit simple, but given the time you had to work on it, that’s fine. Nice that you were able to put this together for this jam, well done :)

Looks like our games were both inspired by No Man's Sky, haha. Lovely game you made here, especially the sprites that give it a really unique and personal style.

Developer

Actually have never played No Man's Sky, it is on my "to play"-list though! Looking forward to playing your game also, thank you! 😊

What delightfully creepy enemies. Very calm little adventure on a mysterious planet. Great job.

Developer
