How does the game fit the theme?
You cant trust anyone.. not even rocks! The gems you pick up cannot be trusted to not contain an alien lifeform

It's very good, it took me a bit to figure out how it works but i kinda like it that way, as it adds to the immersion with the already deep visuals and audio design.
Some quality of life features like up-down command history or autocomplete with tab though would be appreciated.
This was excellent! I really liked the idea of taking something that feels almost like an old parser-based text adventure and turning it into a rover mining game instead. Typing commands to explore and collect minerals works surprisingly well, and the whole thing feels incredibly polished for a jam entry. The sound design in particular is fantastic, and the visuals fit the terminal setup perfectly. Had a great time with this one!
Really cool game. I love how immersive it felt to be controlling the rover remotely with commands instead of directly. my only suggestion would be to make the tutorial a bit more interactive to help players get into it. Great job!
I kept having to click back into the game when I clicked the right arrow.
if you add a fullscreen option or key binding for it then it would play a bit smoother.
otherwise I like the idea very different from all I've seen so far
everything about this game looks so awesome i wish i was smart enough to play it
I enjoyed this a lot! At first I was a bit sceptical about only interacting with a terminal, but it ended up being really fun.
Not gonna lie, I stayed longer just because of the keyboard sound xD
Man I need to geek this game out! I love using text based terminals and this one took the satisfaction to another level. Just got a pen and paper ready on my desk writing down coordinates haha. Great game! Also please add a downloadable version.
I liked the idea of controlling it with text commands. It would be cool if you could go back to the previous command by pressing the up arrow. Good job.
It was really creative! The sound design and atmosphere were really interesting.
Inredible game, love the iron lung inspiration, although definitely much chiller to play this. Felt very statisfying to type commands (great sfx) and pick up minerals. One of the best if not the best game I've played so far this jam.
I really enjoyed your game! reminded me of the DOS era, and I loved the terminal prompt. Like the old command games. Great job thank you for posting your game!
