While searching through the games I was expecting things but not this kind of thing. I really like the game idea and the setting and the mood of the game, up to the several tasks to do, in order to get the ship running again. The funny thing about this are the similarities between our games, it feels like we worked off of the same concept blueprint. Great work tho!

*You have been in suspension for 9999999....*

Kidding aside, this is a really well done for an edge of tomorrow style game. The voice acting is great, the clues are hidden well, but not too hard to find the controls and movement is good.

Got it in 8 loops, forgot the engine room code in the previous one haha, the 420 69 is pretty easy to remember. I always wondered in those time loop movies how the main character remembers all the stuff so well. I guess now I know I'd waste extra loops forgetting stuff :laughing:

Awesome game! Only thing bothering me, but it's not your fault; ctrl + w closes the current browser tab... So after a few tries i figured I can only go in vent sideways without closing the game :smile:

@negdo we are aware of this issue, workaround is using C instead of CTRL. Less comfortable but at least it does not close browser tab :smile_cat:

Really neat idea. The music matching the timer really brings the whole thing together.

Great work! The music escalating as the timer counts down really adds to the unsettling and urgent mood. Really liked the 3D graphics as well as the audio. Escaped after 7 loops!

The game made me feel really dumb, but after about 1 billion tries I finally succeed. This is overall a fun and pretty well made little puzzle game. Well done.

That was a cool experience. The way the music was used was impressive. Unfortunately I hate games where I have to use my sense of direction so got a little frustrated but got through it . That's on me though (cool story)/ Lighting and art style worked well too. No real complaint here... oh and that voice link is awesome. Using it already

Mood of the game is very good and it is fitting. Not too horiblle art but next time try invest time more into art. Averagly fit into the theme.. Average fun game, but maybe next time you will polish the gameplay and it will be better. Overall your game is good, good job.

OK! I could reactivate the generator then I was able to open all the doors. I Found a number on a table. I really enjoy this game and the minimalist 3D art is very nice. But I don't have patience to restart again and again to see what I have to do... With this feature, you are completely in the theme, no doubt about it, but in my humble opinion it's a bit annoying to do the same things again and again. But the atmosphere, interactions, music/sound and ambient are well made! Congratulation guys!

Whew, managed in 3 loops but that was with some serious corridor running!

I had a good time with this jam. I'm a big fan of exploring and solving puzzles and this jam allowed me to do both!

The music really helped amp up the adrenaline as the ship drew closer to the event horizon.

I really liked this one! You managed to create a pretty compelling mood with quite minimal but appealing graphics, and the audio was great too. I enjoyed the feeling of improving my "speedrun" with each loop, eventually figuring out what to do for the final one.
My only criticism is that the mouse look speed was really high, though I was playing on a high DPI screen, which might've had something to do with it.
Nice work!

Managed to make it after 3 loops! Interesting and fun, the TTS voice asking me to stay calm in the face of a black hole was pretty funny. The core idea was really neat, and I think the music helped set the spacy feeling particularly well. Kudos!
