100 Days by CJ K

[raw]
made by CJ K for LD30 (COMPO)
You are the EAS Indomitable. The first human vessel explore deep space.

However, you are not alone and are required to request an emergency evacuation. It'll take 100 days for the request to make it home...

Interact with the game using the mouse. Hover over elements to get help descriptions on the left side.

**Added Instructions**

You die if your fuel or health equals zero. Travel to planets by clicking a neighboring planet.

It can take a few seconds for the play level to load. Fear not, the game didn't freeze :).

This is really impressive. I hope you take this to touch devices.

Everything isn't perfectly clear from the getgo here, but figuring out the mechanics isn't too tough and there's a really clever game to be enjoyed once you understand everything. Really great job.

This game is really fun! I could see myself playing a fleshed out version of this for hours.

This is awesome! I was a little confused at first, but this is a really original concept, good job!

Cool game! I included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/aac43JwG3FQ

After i figured out the mechanics it was quite good!

... and with more polish this beats 80% of my steam library :D

Really good for a jam game. Wish the text would appear faster and maybe add random descriptions for each planet. Also the grammar could be better.

It took a few tries but I finally figured it out. Added to my favorites list. Agree with other comments that text should come out quicker.

I really enjoyed this game! The tradeoff between fuel/minerals is interesting and quite effective here. I would love to see a full version of this game someday.

Nice Little Game. Found it a bit too harsh, kept dying from lack of fuel. Maybe you could add fuel scoop mode which would allow a player to get fuel from any system if they spend more time there. A bit of work on the UI and who knows...

Simple and great. Only thing that annoyed me is that for one run I barely found any minerals for most of the game (but that's more of the random number generator's fault I think)

This game is just awesome. It reminds me a bit of FTL, but with its own style. Great work !

I was lucky so the game was very easy to beat - I ended up with all systems at level 3 or maxed and with 50 minerals and 200 of fuel, but really nice concept remininding of FTL

The concept sounded awesome. Too bad there aren't really explanations about the mechanics, I have troubles figuring out what to do...

I felt a little bit of a FTL vibe from this game. I kept running out of fuel :'(

Fun concept and well implemented :)
Love the pixel art and scope of the world. Didn't quite get to the end, but had a lot of fun along the way!
