This feels like a Douglas Adams novel.

I hope you return to this and fill it with lots of stories about what happened on the protagonist’s journey to the supernova festival.

The intro sequence plays really well, but the ending feels super rushed and underwhelming. I also couldn't really catch the theme anywhere.

The game is very well made and feels immersive, thanks to its narrative and charming pixel art. Unfortunately, I think the gameplay is where it falls short. It's a bit too simple, and the gameloop don't really reflect the theme the connection comes across mostly through the story rather than the gameplay itself.

That said, it's still a very charming project and definitely one worth continuing to develop. The core concept feels really solid. Great job!

The pixel art, music, and dialogue gave this a lot of charm—I especially liked the ship and background. It feels like a great foundation, and I’d love to see more mechanics added. I also noticed the walking animation froze sometimes.

Congrats!

First of all, loved the art, audio and dialogs. That's what make the game enjoyable.

If you add some mecanics too it, it could be perfect.

Keep going!

This game is amazing! i love the art reminds me of Risk of Rain. The humor is right up my alley and the sound effects are great.

if i had to gripe on anything its that the animations are a little funky but eh what is a game jam without a little funk.

Overall this is a perfect game all stars to ya, keep up the great work! -Eric

Really fantastic pixel art. I loved the character art, the ship, and the parallaxing background. Dialog made me chuckle a little. It would be cool to see more mechanics added into the game in the future if you decide to expand on it. Great job. (Note: bug sometimes the characters walk animation would freeze.)

Neat game, I respect the ambition of adding a quest and dialogue system in a game jam game! The writing was also very fun.
