LudumData

Sara Space Rescue by everystone

[raw]
made by everystone for LD30 (JAM)
Sara has been abducted to a distant planet, you must venture out and bring her back to earth. This is my first LudumDare, and first game I have ever released. Didn't quite get as many mechanics/features into the game that I planned, but had alot of fun making it, I will probably keep working on the game after the Jam.

I didn't have time to add sounds, and some gampeplay are missing --enemy AI is WIP and controlls aren't perfect.

Known bugs: Sometimes Rocket Parts gets thrown into orbit.. Entering/exiting Gravity fields may bug out, and Camera is not optimal. Have fun!

If you are lost in space, press esc to restart.

Collect fuel tanks to refuel your ship.

Cool space game, this reminded me a little bit about kerbal space program, minus the building ofc. A few things annoyed me though, mainly the clouds that sometimes cover your entire screen randomly and the in-abillity to rotate the camera. But all in all its an entry that is worth while to check out!

The game looks interesting but I have not come to understand it completely, anyway I like how it looks

The 60 second countdown after leaving a ship is pretty unforgiving - I got lost on a planet a few times and died just trying to find my way back to the ship.

There's a lot of potential here, and this is a great start - would love to see what you can do with some more time on it!

It's cool to jump into the rocket and try to find Sarah but it's very hard to handle and we're very low on resources!

A bit confusing, but enjoyable!

Thanks alot for the kind words people! It makes it all worth it. I know its not balanced atm ( camera, controlls, handling ), but I plan to polish it and build upon this in the future.

Nice idea!
I took some time to learn how the spaceship work and more time to can get the controls, but after that was ok to play.
It was a difficult game and the objective was blur to me.

Haha, great work. I'm liking the planet exploration themes I'm seeing.

Really clever concept, but the controls were a bit hard to use. The camera was quite annoying too, as were the clouds which blocked the view.
Despite these problems, it's a very enjoyable game :).

Nice try for your first LD! But I think it is not so easy to navigate throughout the space, maybe you can add a map or compass. Well done!

Poetic entry. It's so cool to jump into a rocket. :)
I think the camera is a bit confusing, I wasn't able to control the rocket properly.

Shame there's no sound and the rocket is actually pretty hard to control but the gameplay idea is pretty interesting with lots of potential. Not bad for your first entry I say :D
