I like how simple yet still difficult it is, some improvement to the UI could be made, I was not sure if I need to press E or mouse button sometimes. Great visuals as well, feels well put together 

Developer

Thanks! Game lacks polishing for sure) 
Glad I was able to upload at all)

Very neat idea!! Gives off FTL / Among us vibes so much.

Developer

Thanks!

I really liked the music that plays after you beat the game

Thanks!

This gave me some FTL / among us vibes and the quick rounds are a lot of fun. The loop clicks fast and each challenge comes with easy to follow instructions, so I was never lost on what to do next.

Looks like others have reported it already but, a bug report from my run, I managed to clip my astronaut outside the ship, it seemed to happen around the doors.

A thought if you keep building after the jam, it could be fun to let the player launch the head early when they choose instead of waiting for a room to get removed. Feels like there’s some strategy hiding in that decision.

Which of the four endings or other design options was your favorite to make?

Developer(+1)

Thanks!
Yeah, seems like some colliders with doors timing are off sometimes) Cant check everything beforehand)
I personally love "cold space", where you try to do tooo much or become greedy or just in full panic mode and miss your way out of room in time)
And, the other one I think have most chances to occur: 40+ and 80-, this outcome more realistic kinda - such incident cant resolve without price - so, no more adventures for little guy.

I really like the idea you went with about an astronaut trying to salvage parts to survive the journey, and the concept of multiple endings seems really cool! My biggest critique would be that there's way too much text on-screen at the bottom left showing the player's objectives. It felt pretty overwhelming, so I mainly just walked over to the blue dots and interacted with them. Overall, nice job! The art and the music fit the game quite well!

Developer

Thanks!
Yeah, quest UI a bit unfinished - got it done with auto filling and tried to finish more critique parts of the game)
Time waits for no one)

Funny that we had a pretty similar idea, but it took a very different direction eventually. Getting to 100% is pretty hard :) Solid jam entry, good luck!

Developer

Thanks! You no need to beat 100%) 80% do the job, but a 100 possible with a bit of luck)

such a cool idea had a lot of fun. It can be very hard a time tho

Developer

Thanks!

The audio and the animations add so much depth to the art and interactions! Especially the door opening/closing and the red that fills a room before detonating.  Great execution and idea, GG. 

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Cool game, very luck based though, after a couple tries I gave up cause I could never get lucky enough to win. The premise is cool tho, and I enjoyed playing it.

Developer

Thanks! 

Some luck involved for sure.  You could get an "ok" ending if you make it till end and get at least 4 quest) 

Submitted(+1)

Fun game, takes a lot of luck to 100% though

Developer

Thanks! 

I tried to make it challenging because of  concept I choose. If you could make it to 40% and more itis great)

Really fun and tense game! The countdown mechanic kept me on my toes, and the mix of quick differen tasks was amazing. Great job capturing the jam theme!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you like it)

Having four different endings for a game jam is gives it great replay value, and the music and art style set the vibe perfectly. Easily one of my favorite jam entries so far! Great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Awesome entry—really creative take on the theme! Good job creating all those minigames. I really like the art style, and great job keeping it consistent throughout. Awesome sound effects as well. Great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Glad you like it)

This was fantastic! I played it several times to try and get everything accomplished but not knowing what is going to get blown up first made it difficult to do that (unless there is some visual indicator I missed but idk). I think this fits the theme very well. I like the Among Us feel of the minigame tasks that need to be done and the time pressure really adds to the tension. The music also works really well too. Overall a favor among the many games I have played in this jam!

Developer

Thanks!
Glad you like it) Indicator appears 10 sec before room is cut off) No other info - a bit panic for player and luck)

Submitted(+1)

Really great job! It was fun enough to even make me want to play through a couple times to see the different endings!

Thoughts while playing:

  • among-us-style minigames kept perfect pace with the short countdowns
  • music is slick, it really sets the tone - did you make it?
  • it's a really nice touch to see the head-part get augmented by the various tasks being completed
  • LOL:

Thank you so much! I tried to give the game at least some sense of progression despite it being such a small game 

Looks like you found your own way off the ship, haha)

cool game, nice minigames

Developer

Thanks!

I LOVED this game! Love the among us-style minigames mixed in with the time crunch + some randomization. I am proud to say I got the good ending after a couple of tries :)

Developer

Thank you! 

Yeah, Among Us was one of the references for the minigames. I’m glad I managed to fit them into the atmosphere!

I think you are going to do very well in the jam. one of the best games ive played so far.. GG

Developer

Thx a lot! Really glad you liked it

Submitted(+1)

Great fun - I got a couple of endings, one of which I managed to live :)  Not sure why but even when the game was full screen, it only displayed in a small rectangle in the middle, so everything was a bit too small and fiddly.  Also I'd really appreciate arrow/cursor keys as an alternative to wasd.  But this was the most fully fleshed out jam entry I've played so far - nice work!

Developer

Thank you so much! It’s really hard to catch all the bugs and little issues during a game jam - I’m just glad the game is actually beatable 😄

I’m really happy you enjoyed it!
