Tiny Tiny Orbit by Belonzik
Tiny Tiny Orbit is a tiny survival game, in which you inhabit a quickly orbiting moon of an unknown planet.
The day and night both last only 10 seconds due to the celestial body's unnaturally fast rotation.
Your mission here is to extract Platinum from the moon's crust. But beware! A dangerous nocturnal lifeform has been detected on the moon... Might not want to stay in the dark too long.

Only thing I would change would be instead of cycling through the different options I would have a button for each option instead. But I do really like the one button style. Even though it takes a while to get used to. You could even combine some of the controls into one, for example if you want to move an object you hold the button for a short while, and it gets picked up.
Anyways you did an incredible job and this is definitely the best game I've played so far in this jam!!!
Probably the only feedback I might have is possible not have resources spawn on top of each other.
Also, the Windows version runs great for me in Linux!
It's difficult to understand at the beginning. I thought the solar thing was a craft table. I didn't understand the other thing was a battery. After, it's evident, but for my experience, I had difficulties.
The 10s are very short. Yes, it's the theme, but it is still a little frustrating. The lights can help it, but they use maybe too much energy.
Sometimes I created things I didn't want to. I put a lot of things behing the furnace, and I really often replace buildings and couldn't replace it because there was a thing under. the other "defaults" below were not very important, but this one really annoyed me. An other key, only for that action, would be welcome.
But it works ! I played until the end, and even if I was very long, I gladly continued.
Nice one for the Free Game where you can start with different bases !
Very good job. ;)
Came back off camera, because it was fun, and won :slight_smile:
