Alone in Space by Vaelzan

[raw]
made by Vaelzan for LD22 (JAM)
A little Flash adventure game. The original intention was to have a series of clues leading up to the character discovering what happened to the crew, but alas, time restraints caused me to scrap that.

Tools used:
FlashDevelop
FlashPunk
Ogmo Editor
MaskedPixel's OgmoExtentions to FlashPunk
Paint.net
sfxr

This is the first time that I've used Flashpunk (and the first time using Actionscript in a couple of years). I decided to enter the Jam about two hours before it started, so despite not finishing the game to a level I was happy with, I wasn't displeased with my progress (especially since I had to do Christmas shopping too during the jam!).

Special thanks to my brother for contributing some ideas and some of the tile graphics.

heh, nice game... I was very sad to see that it was so short -- please take this as a compliment! :-) If you add the rest of the content, let us know!

The good: The little texts indicating the hotspots in the game.

The bad: I found that the character walking speed was a bit toooo slow.

Thanks for the feedback! :) I updated the move speed a bit (and fixed two other bugs), I am allowed to do that right, since the time isn't up? First time so I'm not entirely sure, and the rules weren't too clear.

Really a good start. The graphics and interface feel work. You should run with this and complete it!

The text seems to break in strange places. Like sentences completing in the next text box. I appreciate how honest you were about running out of time.

It is too short; I wish it had way more content than it has currently. I hope you make a post-compo version.

Cool start, but for most of the game I felt like there was nothing I could do but to read texts about not being able to interact with stuff.

With such huge letters and a tiny text box, it feels like your text is way longer than it actually is.

Haha! Just as I was getting into it :) I like the graphics!
