How does the game fit the theme?
The game asks the player to trust Buddy, the procedure, the rescue ship, and even their own expectations of how a game is supposed to work. In the end, they shouldn't even trust the game itself.
*** Spoiler below ***
A scam that ends the game before it really gets started.
The game fits the theme through the idea of “Trust No One.” The player trusts Buddy because his instructions feel like a normal tutorial, but Buddy never tells them the whole truth. The player follows the procedure, believing they are preparing to escape, only to discover that the rescue ship leaves without them.
The game also plays with the player's trust in the game itself. When the ship flies away, the player naturally thinks, “What happens next?” - but nothing does. The game simply ends. The player shouldn't trust Buddy, the procedure, the rescue ship, or even their expectations of how the game is supposed to continue.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
For audio, I downloaded many SFX from Creative Commons sound packs. I listed all of the sources I used, and in some cases I combined multiple sounds and manipulated them to fit the game.
I also reuse main menu hierarchy from my another project. Even with changes (accesebility option) - that was shortcut
How many people worked on the game?2

Great game! Ending gave me matrix vibes, well done!
Thank you for playing! 😊
Haha I loved it. Also I survived! The art is great, audio fits well, gameplay is interesting, and the introduction text is the cherry on top. I think I found a bug. The first time I opened the control panel, mouse cursor did not appear. I refreshed the web page and started the game over and then it worked. Otherwise it was a fun experience. Nice work! Please check out my game as well.
Nice humor, engaging atmosphere (see what I did there) and potential for replay.
I liked the mechanics of it and the wall breaking end.
Thank You for playing ^^
Really funny :D
Thank you !
This was super cool! would love to see more gameplay post jam :) it was alot of fun.
Awwwww. Comments like this? We’re ready to build!
(sfx: sounds of putting a build together) =)
Really liked the artstyle but I wish there was more to play with? That was really short man. I loved the jokes on the start tho.
Awwww
Thank you for the really kind words. You played what we managed to make in just 3 days. We’re preparing an update and will release it after the game jam!
Waiting for the update then!
Liked the artwork of your game! Also I think I got tricked by flying around the map after the container blows up, thinking maybe there is something there lol, managed to get 3 achievements. Overall, a well made game!
Wow, you managed to get 3 out of 4 possible achievements. The game shows 8, but for some reason 4 of them do not trigger. Still, since you started flying, you would have gotten one more achievement.
In the post jam version, it will actually be possible to do something after the ship explodes. Three days was all the time we had, so that is as far as we managed to get.
Thank you for playing our game!
I think I don't understand what I'm supposed to do in this game, but the steering wheel really got me by surprise XDD Loved the comedic writing! You even included easter eggs, omg. Good job!
If you know what’s going on with the steering wheel, then you definitely managed to figure out what was happening XD
Thank You for playing <3
Very cool vibe! I fell for trusting the game. I guess I survived, but it was all a [spoiler]
The space cat story was hilarious
Oooo, I think you’re the first person to notice the space cat! 😂 Thank you so much for playing and for catching that little detail! I’m really glad you enjoyed it ^^
I love sound design! And also visual! Great job!
Thank You!
I’m really enjoying your game! The dialog skipping is impressive, the language and font changes are cool, and the story is funny. I already found three achievements — great game!
Oh, you found 3 out of the 4 achievements that are currently possible to get in the game! The rest didn’t survive the build process, so well done ^^
I’m not quite sure what you mean by the dialogue skipping, but we’re really glad you enjoyed the game!
I mean that you developed this option, that speedup dialog is possible - like this sollution
I like the jokes and the world building. But the gameplay I think could be improved. Maybe delay being left behind and let the player do even more things.
Thank you for the feedback! I’ll make a note of it. We’re working on a post-jam build where you’ll actually be able to do more and have more things to interact with
Cool little game, the visuals are cool and the sound design is on point. It fit the theme well! Althought I was lost about what to do sometimes.
The humor is great too, the steering wheel in the hand got me! =)
Great job!
Thank you for giving the game a try ^^
Oh, I really liked the graphics and music in yours!
With pleasure! I really liked the game miniature x)
Feel free to leave a review and a comment on mine too! =)
A short and interesting game, but it would have been better if you had included fewer puzzles. I liked the world design; I love the style and the beautiful backgrounds.
Thank you for playing!
We might move the puzzle to a more fitting place after the jam
I was sold as soon as the intro started, neat game!
Very cool concept, enjoyed the art and very funny!
Funny game, loved the intro but some parts of the game weren't that obvious so I struggled a bit understanding what to do sometimes..
I’m glad you had some fun playing it! This is our first 3D project, so we’d really appreciate it if you could tell us which parts you had trouble with or found unclear.
Also, regarding the interactions, someone pointed out that we had a critical bug that could make the game unplayable. We think (and really hope!) we’ve fixed it now
You got me with the intro lol
quick game, appreciate the art and the space controls. maybe it'd be a small improvement to add some zero-gravity effects to the movement.
Funny intro and I was shocked by the steering wheel left in hands, nice job
