Pretty complete for a compo game. I wish the little dude had some funny movement animations. I'm not sure this expands to a full game, but I do think the idea could make its way into a larger game. \nFunny.\nThe mouth on the engine was particularly neat.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"designernap","author_uid":"1002807","time":"2020-04-22T07:42:10Z","epoch":1587541330,"modified":1587541330,"text":"Hi @aret24 ! Yes it's quite a puzzle to figure out the order of things. I tried to make the captain give hints too but it might be too obtuse in areas. There is a big blocky pipe thing at the very top of the room up a ramp... once the core is in place and shielded, it will open when you get near with a cell.

The game play was a little minimal, but it was satisfying to reconstruct the beautiful ship interior. The game also had a good atmosphere and feel, and the lighting was better than any I've seen in the jam thus far.

So much work done in 48hours : A 3D game with story telling with intro and outro, a lot of interractive assets, and some audio effects that fit perfectly the game. \nThe only drawback for me was the clarity of the gameplay, even though I assembled all the broken piece and put the fuel in place I was stuck with nothing more to do and nothing happened.
