LudumData

SpaceCube by SciDev

[raw]
made by SciDev for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

You are a square and you are stuck in space. You have to collect resources from asteroids to make an SOS probe to get home. PS. if you don't have enough items to place a part it will not place. Good luck.

CONTROLS

E: interact if close to certain parts. I: access inventory. esc: pause. click: remove parts. press on part icon on right: place clicked part (if possible). Move: WASD or arrow keys

CHANGELOG:

  • Fixed sos probe, now it triggers the win routine in the gamemanager.

HINT: Silver is harder to find than other resources, if you find and refine silver, you will get access to the rest of the parts.

You don't seem to give the controls of the game, I was confused for the first minutes, and I still am since I don't really get the point of the game!

I don't get the Controls for a while, and don't get the way to play the game!!

Fyi, when you hit the pause button, controls are revealed.

It is a nice game, it has a simple and enjoyable crafting system. I also like physics and polished control logic. However, I don't know anything about my progress. Still couldn't make that sos probe :)

Thanks to the comment here I was able to figure out how to mine asteroids and craft things, though I still couldn't really understand how to combine things, or what to use them for.

There is a lack of information in the game. I didn’t know what I should do at the beginning.
Good music and art style！

Wasn't really sure what to do. I crafted both things, and spammed them pretty hard. Wasn't sure if there's more content but that's where I stopped.

I think that mining asteroids could be super awesome if they were vector shapes that chunks were cut out of as you mined them.

I didn't figure out how to craft anything other than the top rock-locking thing and a green thing with an arrow on it. I tried pushing the interact button but it didn't seem to do anything. I also never figured out how to refill hunger or energy. I would definitely suggest putting some more instructions on this page.

I like the music.

Liked the music but also wasn't sure exactly what to do, I got the controls and crafted some things, but couldn't get far after crafting a bunch of things :/

As the said, the game is a little confusing, I dont really see what is the objective, I mean, I manged to get enough resources to place this cubes. But no idea what to do with them :( Anyway, its nice implemented the way you gather materials and refine them ( even thought it should say for what you refine them).

When I die from "starvation" I can still play ^^ don't know if it's wanted

graphics are homogenous and music quite good !

Gameplay seams deep but I don't understand how to not die from "starvation" and I don't understand how I have to place each element (and what they will allow me to do)

Many things have been already written in the comments, but overall congratz on your entry. With bit more time I believe you would be able to present very interesting game, as you have very solid base and quite impressive crafting system! I really liked the music that fits the mood. Good job

No idea what I'm doing here.
Discovered that clicking on stuff and the inventory controls after pressing escape after dying, and figured out the refining. The buildables seem to do nothing. The controls says to use E for something but I failed to figure out what.
Also you can click on asteroids through the buttons in the inventory.

I wasn't able to find what to do. The movement controls are weird, and I couldn't figure out what to do with all of the resources.

Collected resources and refined them. I tried, but didn't understand how to build stuff. Things poped up on screen but that was as far as I could go.
