I felt a bit lost in the beginning cuz the images took a lot of time to load. But after that i could play it without any problems. The art style is amazing, but I felt that the objective was a bit vague.

The art in this game is really amazing. Loved that! The music also fit really well.

The game is a bit vague about how it works. You can pick crew members and the goal is to have a successful expedition? After a couple of tries I noticed that there is a limit of 4 for the amount of crew members. But besides a bit of flavor text and art there is not much to the choices you make?

I did see in the result screen that there are scores about
Wealth sum: 150
Edu sum: 175
Exp sum: 175

But I have no idea what this means or how this is calculated or is actually used or not.

Great little demo I would suggest to add some more explanation and guidance so the player knows what is going on.

Nice little game. On the first run its a bit hard to know what to do but then you figure out you need to balance the three stats at the end afterwards. If you continue on this a bit post jam heres some things you could add:
- Some music in the background for people to listen to while playing. Music adds so much to flesh out games and add to the ambiance even if its just a simple track
- Some background on the text as the text in the top left (and right) is a bit hard to see against the page background due to some objects in the page background being lighter colors. For something really simple you can just do a box the same color as your person selection box

Nice and simple! 😄

The art has a sort of "pixelart, but not quite" feel that works very well!

I managed to win on my first try 😃

Really good graphics, and has a lot of potential as a demo. Still haven't found the right team, but I'll try again!
