first of all, good job on the art! the pixel art and the map is well done! title screen, mini games, visuals and audio all well done! i like the design of the pace ship! beautiful! now, about my experience playing it. first, i try to do all the task myself, feeling like among us. then i realized we can assign other people. nice! i feel like a boss! but i dont have time to check on them and see how they did their task. i am also trying to just watch the console how they doing, but other than how long it takes them. i can't really tell who is the impostor. and suddenly my ship blew up! haha! fun tho! makes me wanna try again and again! good game!

Submitted

I really like the idea that the player has to discover the imposter but I felt too overwhelmed assigning npcs and doing tasks that I had no time to do it. I think that it would be better If the player was able to open command console remotely and the minigames were more idle.

Yet, I enjoyed the minigames and my favorite was the stack boxes one.

Submitted

Really nice work!  I love the burger stacking and the ship layout. Is it actually winnable? 

Developer

thank you!! it is! the bar at the top of the screen is the ship's progress to its destination. if it reaches the planet, you win! (takes about 5 minutes). there's also a danger meter visible on the command screen, and if it fills up by enough tasks failing, you lose.

Fun game!! 

This is my game if you want to play it!

Almost made it, to be honest I didn't pay that much attention to what roles evryone had, I didn't feel I had the time to really get to know people skills. Still, what a fun game, I enjoyed it a LOT, great work

it's definitely a lot to keep track of! Thanks for playing!

I think "single-player *Among Us*" is the best way to describe this game.

Visually, it’s a beautiful piece of work; however, it took me a little while to get the hang of the mechanics and find my bearings.

The game has great mini-games, by the way. I’d just suggest having a difficulty progression across scenes. Maybe a first run with a smaller ship and a slower ramp-up of sabotage? That would be interesting for getting a feel for the mechanics.

All in all, great work for the jam. Congratulations.

yeah, we've been hearing that a lot haha

thank you! our artist did an awesome job ^_^ and yeah, it needs a tutorial very bad :/

that's a great idea, I wanted to build something similar to that but unfortunately ran out of time. thanks for the helpful feedback!

Very charming environment and graphics. Some confusion to why my ship spontaneously blows up (was I that bad at DDR?) but the minigames were quite enjoyable. Enter "Among Us Singleplayer" comment here.

Fun entry overall, good job folks!

Developer (1 edit)

i should have made this more clear, but there is a danger meter on the top of the command screen (where you assign tasks). It fills a little every time a task runs out of time or is failed by a crew member, and if it completely fills up you lose. thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

I like the premise with the little twist on Among Us. Took me a while to figure out what I was doing though and it seemed pretty hard.  

Developer (1 edit)

it definitely needs a properly tutorial, I ran out of time unfortunately :(

Submitted

Mmm, singleplayer among us. Nice. But please add console closing with E key.

Developer (1 edit)

yeah, that was on the list for things I ran out of time for </3 thanks for the feedback!

it was a little difficult, because the tasks were too fast and sometimes when i did some tasks myself it would just freeze (for example when i put a hamburger together i couldnt go back).  But i really like the concept and among us vibes, but more expanded, which is super cool :) i think if u make it a little bit easier timewise it will be super satisfying to play it and complete it!

Also the tasks have a very cool gameplay on their own, i wanted to be able to do more of them by myself haha

Developer

i do need to adjust the difficulty i think, thanks for the feedback. i have heard from a couple of people about the game freezing but i can't seem to reproduce the bug. when you would put the hamburger together, would everything freeze (including audio), or just the visuals?

i'm glad you liked it! thank you

Submitted

just the visuals, it happened after i already put the hamburger into the right order, it should've let me out the scene, but it didn't. I could still hear the music and sound effects, but couldn't do anything else 

Submitted

some kind among us, i lose in 4 min, tho idk why

Submitted

I liked the game a lot! the art is very cool and I think that the gameplay itself ties well with the theme!
Will be coming back for more in the future!

thank you for the feedback! i'm glad you liked it

Submitted

Fun concept, cool gameplay and I really liked the art. It felt really difficult though, I would complete a task and then it would pop up again on the console immediately, I could never stay alive very long lol. I also wish there was a way to cancel tasks because some of them took too long for me to do and then I died. But overall I really enjoyed the game and concept.  

Developer

thank you! our artist did a great job, i'm super happy with it too :]

yeah, i probably need to adjust the speed that tasks are assigned at. it's a bit too hard at the moment

i actually initially had a way to cancel tasks, but it caused a ton of bugs that i didn't have time to fix so i had to cut it last-minute. i'll add it back in a future update after the jam!

thanks for the feedback ^_^

Submitted

Really cool amongus like game :)
I really like the map and command center designs. They look really good. Assinging the tasks feels very satisfying.
I crashed the spaceship two times :D It's a real challenge.

What did not work for me was stabilizing the generator. Whenever I tried to do it manually the game seemed to freeze for me. I just always assigned someone to that job and that worked for me.

Nice submission! :)

Developer

tysm for the feedback, i'm glad you liked it! did you notice how far the ship got before you crashed? i'm curious if i made it too difficult lol

thanks for the bug report too, i haven't seen that happened before. the rings weren't spinning at all then? i can't seem to reproduce the bug

thanks again!

Developer
