How does your game fit the theme?
Accretion is built around two countdowns. One is more literal, you have a set amount of time before being consumed by the black hole. The second is a little bit more subtle in the form of radiation. You're constantly trading time against exposure, and deciding whether to push forward or wait until the black hole is in a better position.

Amazing artstyle that gives me "Control I'm not coming back" vibes, I think the movement could've been a little bit better, it's quite hard to navigate on the exterior, I'd like to see this expanded further, great job!

10 Seconds is Plenty of TimeI really appreciated how thoughtful the movement system was. This was really fun to play. Great work!

Disposal DayThe controls and minimalist sound design suit the space environment very well. I feel like watching your station get swallowed by a black hole would make this game much more terrifying. Still, it felt pretty tense having to swing myself behind cover to avoid a lethal dose of radiation. Nice work!

Proctor ProtocolReally cool visuals. I thought the controls were a cool way to make you feel like you were navigating in zero gravity. I did often get stuck trying to exit the ship because I'd get stuck. Overall cool game with a cool vibe

Dying BreathI opened a door and promptly died...It's safe to say I made the right call not pursuing becoming an astronaut as a vocation.
Joking aside its amazing, it's giving a really refreshing and interesting mix of games such as Iron Lung mixed with the intense depiction of space travel in For All Mankind or Star City (really good TV shows I wholly recommend)
fantastic work!!!

FlickerfallVery interesting idea for the movement, takes some using to, but once it clicks, it's really fun! Loved the aesthetic as well!

Count Goes DownApparently I have black hole phobia haha (melanoheliophobia)! Really nice shader, very immersive gameplay! The only annoying thing was I sometimes got stuck inside the ship and was unable to exit because of the radiation and the slow movement. But this game fits the jams theme very well!

Timestealwith most games that have multiple endings, i usually only do 1 or 2 just for sake of time, but this game looked so good and was such a cool concept i couldnt bring myself to stop until i got every ending
really good game, deserves more recognition

Split Brain: DoodleIt's a very creative game. The pulling yourself with your mouse mechanic is something I've never seen before in a game. Good work!

Fool's GambleAmazing atmosphere, just difficult enought, really cool game, Congratulations!

Count Goes DownReally enjoyed this one! The black hole + radiation mechanic kept me on edge the whole time, and the atmosphere was super well done. Took me a bit to get used to the movement, but once it clicked it felt really satisfying. Great job!

The Last LanternReally enjoyed getting to play Accretion - love a game with a doomed cosmic vibe, and it definitely delivers there. The graphics are fantastic and made me very nostalgic, and the simplicity of the controls make them very easy to pick up and stay with. Played a few times and only managed to get ending 1, but a really fantastic little game! Congratulations, Cannolicat!
