Spaceship by Xavier Sellier

Your colon ship just crashed into an unknown planet! The artificial intelligence of the on-board computer decided to wake the crew in order to save the settlers. The stasis modules are defective, each crew member removed from the cryosleep will be sacrificed. If the crew dies, then the mission is a failure.

The game isn't fun. The pieces the furthest away from the ship aren't any more than clicking and waiting, as there is no chance you'll make it back to the ship. Closer items are two clicks, but they often decrease to one click because of the hunger mechanic.
I like the idea of getting as many things as you can in one go, the problem is that the player spends so much time walking that he will not be able to get more than one thing each walk.
You sacrifice yourself for items. Hit the theme.
I love the graphics, and the mood is almost perfect. Just a shame there's no wind or any other sound. You've made a walking simulator, and hitting mood is important for this style of game, so good job.
Only 3 things I could complain about:
- there is no music / sound ?
- I would have preferred to have the camera rotating around the crew member
- I find it a bit strange that the pieces are recovered once you get to them. I would have liked to have to bring them back to the ship. And the piece could have just been dropped where the crew member dies.
Liked it though !
BUT I see a lot of potential and I had a blast playing the game, it was just as long as I was comfortable with and I think this idea may be worth pursuing further.
The only thing that I feel is really missing are some sounds, they are one of the most important parts of your game, even if you use some free sounds and opt-out of the audio category.
Other than that, keep up the good work and hopefully I'll see you in the next Ludum Dare :)
Edit: performance is mediocre.
You could have added some instructions in the gameplay.
- couldn't figure out how to fill up food
- good graphics especially for a jam
Great graphics and animations, sound would have been nice.
