The Drift by S1l3Jamal

[raw]
made by S1l3Jamal for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

You're trapped on a damaged spaceship with limited oxygen and hostile aliens closing in. Time is running out. Can you repair your ship and escape before they arrive?

WASD for movement.

Left mouse click for everything else

The WebGl version is not tested so if you do have any problems, please try the Windows version. For the best experience play in full screen

!! There is kinda of a game breaking bug I didn't get to fix in the WebGL version. You don't drop your items when you die. You can still finish the game, but it's way harder. !!

Your game is great. I loved both the atmosphere and the permadeath mechanics. The graphics are excellent, and all of this creates a truly creepy and engaging gaming experience. I encourage you to leave reviews and ratings for other games so you can get more likes. Great job, and good luck in the future.

I was a bit unsure why I died in the middle of my first run, but apparently there is supposed to be oxygen meter but it isn't visible in the web version, same for the inventory. I don't personally play a lot of these types of games but I did get through this one. The visibility was a bit too limited for my liking but that isn't my decision. Overall a well made jam game.

Very nice! Takes time to figure out what exactly to do (I didn't get that fast that you need to craft door overrides to progress past power generator), but then it becomes quite captivating. Was able to complete the game after a while. I'd wish some mechanic to prolong your life, like I supposed those O2 tanks are for that, but nope, they turned to be one of those repair parts.

One of the better games I've tried so far! It was just difficult enough that I was unable to stop until I beat it but still easy enough to understand once you've run around for a bit.

Sorry, I couldn't really play the game, the lighting effect was just to hard on my eyes.

Really cool atmosphere and progression, really impressive for a jam. Personally i didn't enjoy the mechanics about dying to suffocation and if i got it right you need to pick the correct parts because if your inventory was full you had to die to reset it? More to the fact that i enjoyed the atmosphere so much i wanted to go at a slow pace and the mechanic made me run like a maniac :D. However, really cool game - well done!

Really impressive game for a event. I liked the graphics, usually i don't go for such games that have kind off "scary" atmosphere but this was actually quite well made. The only problem for me was i didn't know how to drop items from inventory other than that really nice!
