LD59 Radio by Sylva Aster

made by Sylva Aster for Ludum Dare 59 (COMPO)

You are an engineer (yay)

You were sent with your spaceship with one goal. "REPAIR THE 9 ANTENNAS PLEASE THERE IS NO RADIO IN SPACE AND WE ARE REALLY BORED!!" and so you go...

You are equipped with a handy radio to check for signals, and your ship can ping nearby asteroid belts for resources and for broken antennas... Move around with WASD (or other variants) and move up and down with CTRL and Space... Each antenna needs a few resources you can get from broken meteors... These can include metals, rocks, water, oxygen and what-not! But be careful! Your ship also runs on oxygen and water, if you run out its game over! Thankfully there is plenty of it around in asteroid belts.

Your ship can go very fast using fuel, and controlling its cruise speed using the mouse-wheel! You regain fuel everytime you break something... Anyways, thats enough yapping!

Hope you enjoy this, and be ready for what sound each antenna can make once you repair it!!

had a hard time figuring out controls for the game and didn't understand global purpose at first, but after all enjoyed mining resources for the planets and wandering in the space. Game needed more work on optimisation because with pretty simple graphics it runs slow on my laptop.
Great job and good luck

That was fun! The exploration was atmospheric, and it felt super rewarding to hear a new audio clip after each repair.

Mi español no es muy bueno, ¡pero me encantó escuchar la radio al final!

controls felt a bit weird and it was hard to figure out where you were going. would of been nice if you would have been able to fly up and down as well. still had fun though

Pretty nice concept! I couldn't quite play it, since CTRL+W (neccesary to play the game) is bound to close-tab on firefox. At first I thought I was crashing, until I figured it out.

I managed to collect a few rocks, and *just* discovered by first antenna, but that's sadly as far as I could play.

It is not easy to understand what you should do before running out of ressources, I also got a crash sadly.
But the space mining concept is good.

Great game! Reminds me of outer wilds and of the gravity coding adventure from sevastian lague. I only had a problem where the sensitivity was way too low

Ahah apologies about the CTRL+W I did not think about that at all, good lesson for the future tho!

I enjoyed flying through space and fixing antennas. But I think it could have been made more exciting. All in all, it turned out pretty well.

The space travel effect is incredibly well done! Really impressive work for a Jam game, it adds so much to the mood.

The space atmosphere is stunning, and exploring and mining in outer space feels so immersive. Controls feel a little awkward, and better guidance and optimization would help, yet this cosmic concept is really well-made.

Really impressive what you managed to build in this time. Fun radio station tracks too!

Incredible game. I see a lot of effort, minimap is a nice detail
Reminded me of subnautica

A very polished game! At first, it takes a while to figure out what's going on. I just destroy every meteorite I see =)
After that, I can just fly to any planet and use repairs.

P.S. On my 4K screen, the interface is very small.

As soon as you enter, the gameplay instructions are clearly written on the wall. This is a great design! When you first enter, there is no music, which makes it a little boring. But once you explore and sit in the cockpit, it becomes interesting! However, I'm curious about the design of the transitions and differences in the sound effects. What exactly do you want to express with this? I think the overall game is very interesting.
