This was super fun! Really impressive work for such a short amount of time. The visual effects as the fire got worse and the oxygen got lower were great.

So stressful at first, Superb graphics for a free game. The difficulty seems too much at first, but lures you in to beat it. After several play throughs, I was determined to beat the game in quicker times. What a laugh, with a few mates challenging each other, to personal targets of beating the Speed Runs, love it Thanks a lot creator

Was super fun! Stressful at the start as I panicked on what to do, but it was a fun play. The graphics were stunning for a game jam too! Congrats guys!

Fun times! I like that the hazards kept returning constantly, kept me on my toes!

Great job. This was a lot of fun and a perfect length for a game jam. I played it a couple times on normal and my best time was 1:53.

Super fun, super engaging!
The graphics and audio fit the theme so well! And the timing for the emergencies are just right to be concerning, but not annoying!

Perfect given the scope of the Jam.
10/10, would pay for a full length release.

Wow that was cool!
That ship certainly feels unstable, Once you get the hang of it you can step up the difficulty and work on beating it in a faster time!
Good fun, would definitely recommend :v:

Really funny game but I hope don't have to be ever on such a unstable space ship :smile:

Really fun game! Great looking and a lot of fun! I would actually like to see more! Adding tense music would add quite a lot!

Very well executed, puzzles are clear to understand, sound guiding your attention, multitasking, nice to look at. Well done!

This is by far my favourite game so far! Extremely complete, even with level settings and super cool music and sound effects. Extremely surprised by this game! With a bit of polishing, I could see this as a fully fledged game, Congratulations!

THAT WAS AMAZING ! I really had a blast, it was soooooooo fun ! I just want to keep playing, and I would love a "full game" of this !

Just two very, very minor things :
- QWERTY isn't the only keyboard layout that exists... I switched to it to be able to play, but the new Input System in Unity handles that automatically, maybe you could have a look at it ^^.
- I don't know hos it's calculated, but the minimum sensitivity seemed still too fast for me... Or sometimes, my character seemed to turn way too fast. Maybe it's just an impression, but 180° turns felt clunky

But I'm just nitpicking here, your game is a solid 5/5, congratulations !

@metalfox-dioxymore Thanks very much for the review!
In regards to the mouse sensitivity and movement - unfortunately this is a WebGL thing! The inputs are handled differently in WebGL from desktop. I would highly recommend the desktop version if you're looking for speedrunning ;)
But I very much appreciate the feedback and review, thanks very much!

Great little game! Can't believe it was built in just a few days.

Got hooked into the game straight away as your thrown in the deep end. Lots of panic, lots of laughs and very satisfying.

The ship is definitely unstable and loving the ability to level up and down.

Would pay for a longer version :D

Really cool graphics, but not quite understandable how fast should I do staff, so I died because I wan't rushing

Great work for a jam game! Love the concept and overall atmosphere. (No pun intended. :upside_down:)

Nice low poly models and lighting! The puzzles were creative and the warping effect was cool. It took be a while to find the hand as it was hidden behind a door I didn't realize I could interact with, but besides that great game!

That indeed is an unstable ship. A lot of fun, the challenge was very nicely paced for the medium difficulty, was worried I was gonna run out of air tanks but had still one left has I succeeded getting the ship stable enough to survive. Very nice graphics and sound, a really great entry!

This was lots of fun! I could see this being a really awesome multiplayer game where teamwork was needed to keep the ship from exploding. Thank you so much for including menu options for mouse sensitivity and such! Getting in those extra details goes a long way. Thank you for sharing this game!

Really beautiful game and so fun! I looked for that hand for so long and finally found it after looking in the comments haha. I think it's cause some of the interactable objects don't always highlight when you hover over them, but it wasn't so bad once I figured out where to aim. Managed to get a sub 2 minute time. Awesome game, really enjoyed it!

What an amazing game this is! I had so much fun playing it. I loved the fact that there were tons of tiny things to do and whenever I was almost done with a task, I got interrupted by self-destruct or oxygen :D Great job!

That was amazing, looks like it would be really fun in multiplayer as well! Love the entry overall, nailed the theme!

Very fun multi-tasking game. Well done. I was a bit confused with the hand-sensor puzzle, but was greatly surprised by the solution (and where I found the missing piece).

Very nice visual design work, this is one of the prettiest entries I've seen this jam, and the visual style for highlighting tasks and objectives is very clear and consistent, which makes the otherwise hectic gameplay fun. The sound effects are also on point, further increasing the atmosphere.

To boot, the WebGL build runs very smoothly, extra kudos for that.

Well done!

@szkocka a very impressive run! Incase you're interested, I uploaded the full speedrun to this page.
So far you're the closest to the record, great job! :)

We could definitely make the run button more obvious, thanks for playing!

Wow this is a very cool game with a lot of care & detail! I like it! Much appreciation for taking the time and even adding an options menu!
The atmosphere and graphics were very cool and it felt fun to play. For me it got a bit too hectic with managing fire and oxygen meters, but maybe that's by design? :D

Great game! Very nice art & sounds! Was searching for that keycard forever, didn't realize the glowy sphere was marking it :D

Really solid entry! I'd love to see the prompts for what to fix be implemented in a more diagetic way, such as a troubleshooting AI or an issue map for the player to refer to.

10/10 Game, visual effects were on point and the graphics were super good, felt really stressful but balanced at the same time, something i often fail in my own games. Beyond solid entry I really enjoyed playing it.
