Outta Space by Jack Lance

[raw]
made by Jack Lance for LD 42 (COMPO)

Get it?

"Outta" like "out of" space

but also "outer" like "outer space"

Get it now?

Like with a Boston or UK accent where you add/remove extra "r"s.

If you don't have that just imagine saying it with one.

Just trust me.

It works.

Also the game is about running out of space or something.

The game struck me with the terminal boot up, showed some interesting ideas as I went through. Unfortunately I didn't get through the entirety of the game because I simply got confused as to what I was supposed to be doing.

This is one of the more interesting takes on the theme I've seen so far :)

You got me with the terminal and then killed me with breaking out of the game. That is so nice and I love playing games like this. Just like breaking the 4th wall in comics / movies. I just love it. In the end I got confused if this was the end or if I could do something to get further. But it was a really great experience. Keep it up ;)

Good job! Great use of the theme and pretty funny. I did not expect the "glitched" in-game OS. Figuring out what to do after the glitchy stuff started was kind of confusing. It turned it into more of a puzzle game which is great- just unexpected.

Super interesting. Loved the style and sound. I accidentally deleted the game itself XD. Some mechanics were really unintuitive, like shooting the menus and hopping on viruses. But overall good idea!

Very good idea! The concept of computer space is quite smart, the game itself is quite hard though. Well done anyway!

I like your take on the theme, this is cute. I managed to figure out and do the precise shots to get to where you could break out of the start menu to uninstall some programs and jump off the little text box...aaaand promptly used that jump to get myself actually physically stuck inside two level elements (the walls forming the gap to the lower-right of the goal).

So I tried again and while I did not trap myself inside walls this time, I still got stumped at basically the same place. I can't seem to uninstall Visual Studio 2018, nor can I get over the top of the fragmented level to get to the end. I'm pretty sure I need to uninstall VS18, but I'm just out of ideas.

Aaand then I got myself trapped again by mistake while attempting jumps off the text box. Oops. LoL

This was cool :)
