I'm in the compo - and I have an idea on what to do, although I'm really not sure if I'll manage to finish it in the time I have for this. Gl, hf everyone :)

Did the raw submit without all the categories etc. that's possible now! Good thing that that was enabled, it's 23:34 where I'm at and it's a workin day tomorrow!

I'm fairly pleased at the result, since this is my first LD, and the second game jam/compo ever!

Astronauts stuck in orbit around a moon - ran out of time for any polish, as I have to stop already.

Had fun anyways :)

One somewhat common feedback I got from my compo entry Orbital Rescue was that it was at time hard to realize that the camera had started zooming out to keep the player in view - instead it looked like the players movement changed.

To try and clarify that, I added a little starfield effect as on the background to give a sense of scale

I'll have to try and fix the artifacting around astronauts & the lander caused by my meagre understanding of how glow effects should work ;)

If you'd like the give the original compo entry a try, it's available at https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/orbital-rescue :)
