Perseverance by MrSamafu

[raw]
made by MrSamafu for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

Lore

You are an engineer trainee on the "ISS-Perseverance" spacecraft. During your first mission you have to restart the quantum engine which has stalled once again. However, not everything goes according to plan and your ship enters a space-time loop causing you to randomly teleport to different rooms on the ship that have suffered damage due to the space-time failure. Repair the rooms by performing various tasks to get your ship out of the space-time rift. Enjoy!

I love this concept. The art is adorable. The render was a bit large for the window, but as long as I could make it full screen it still worked. Unfortunately I didn't get to finish it because I wasn't able to put in the code, I wasn't sure if I was doing it right, and I didn't understand the directions for the first room. I think with a little tweaking this could be a lot of fun.

I really like the Artstyle! The game was also really fun! The liked the spoken text, because I hate reading :laughing:

A small puzzle game where you teleport every few seconds to a new room. The puzzle are (almost all) quite simple, but some hints are in different rooms. I think the style of the game was very interesting (There was s surprising camera effect in the first part).
In the end I didn't finish it: I was stuck with 1 room left (the one with the 3 laser and the activation button). At this point it was really annoying to wait quite some time to wait to come back to the one missing room.

Quite cool! Also got the Problem with the keypad, but after many attempts it somehow worked. Feedback for pressing the buttons would also be nice. Reentering the already completed rooms felt a bit unnecessary. Visuels were charming, music was nice.
Hope you guys had fun making it!

The art is adorable, full of details and fits well with the proposal. Unfortunately I got stuck in some challenges (not able to put the code correctly and at the laser room), but in general I liked the challenges. Well done!

I had the same issue as a few other people mentioned I was able to do every room except for the laser room I have no clue how to do that one lol

This is a very nice concept and a good execution! I really liked the art and the SFX were great as well.

I only had a problem with the keypad room. It only accepted the password after I finished all the other rooms. My previous attempts to enter it didn't work for whatever reason (clicking on Enter did nothing). Oh, and I also think that those numbers you enter on the keypad should be more visible. Maybe put them on top (like in calculators) and make them bigger. At the first glance, I didn't notice the display at all.

Well done!

Hey, pretty cool concept, kind of like an escape room!
I had some issues though, the character automatically moved to the bottom left even when I didn't press anything, which made it a lot more difficult. Also, the only room I couldn't solve was the keypad one, I clicked the buttons but nothing happened. Tried several times and then gave up :(

I really like this concept, we had some discussions about something similar at the start, but this is a really nice implementation, and nicely integrated with the theme, quite a good story for it!

Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve the keycode puzzle, I tried what other people wrote, but it never accepted my answer, there was a red light in the end, but it didn't do anything. Bit of a shame, but enjoyed solving the other puzzles!

I think once a room is solved it should be removed from the rotation, as it is you just end up cycling through the rooms. The fact that the teleporter can be manually activated is nice, but you could also just skip it, would be nicer for the player I think.

Nice job on the game!

Yay, I did it! The laser room seemed like a lot of guessing, and I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong with the code entry part but eventually it worked so yay :D I really like the concept of this, and all of the additions you had (like the voicing, the cute art, etc) were wonderful. I have no doubt that with another week or so you'd have this polished up nicely :D

Liked your game, music art and gameplay fit together nicely! However I could not quite beat it. I solved all the rooms except the keypad, some by trial and error. How do you get the combination? Is it something obvious I'm missing?

Hi everyone, For the key pad, you need to find documentation. If you write a wrong pass, you need to click enter for delete the selection and retry :)
Thank you for your comments :D Enjoy :)

Awesome idea, just I could not find a way to enter the numbers, I clicked but nothing happened ... Maybe support the numbers on the keyboard?
In the end it was a bit boring because I had to way 30s to change rooms when I had finished three rooms in a row ...
But cool idea, cool designs and nice gameplay :)

Fun puzzle game. I really like the art and animation. The voice over and music fit really well too. The 10 seconds got a little annoying towards the end because I only had the laser puzzle left and I kept having to go through all the rooms again every time it didn't solve it. Not sure how the score correlates to what I did. I assume its based on time but I'm not sure. It also didn't save my score when I went to go look at it in the menu. It would be cool if you expanded and further developed this. Maybe without relying on the 10 second theme. Great job!

Hey I wanted to play your game but it opened up in a tiny window which I couldn't resize: I am running the Windows build. ![tinygame.png](///raw/b7b/91/z/53537.png)
