Roverboard by cottontrek
Roverboard is an exploration game set on an alien planet.
Control a rover along the unknown and haunting terrain.
This is a basic prototype!
I will continue working on Roverboard (ie: making organisms interact with environment, etc.), but for now enjoy the basic atmosphere.
Thanks for your time!

As you already inted to continue on this, I'll just say... Do it!
Thanks for all the feedback!
This is a good tech demo! The colors are well-chosen (nice sky!), controls are smooth, and I was intrigued by the pagoda-like structures in the background. Good work on your story/framing narrative, too. When the game started up I was worried it was going to be sort of cheesy, but there was something really nice about that dichotomy--being on the surface of the planet, and beneath the surface of the acid clouds.
I was a little bit distracted by all of the particle effects, though. Their being so synchronized and rhythmic was kind of irritating. I'm having an unusually difficult time explaining why, though. If it's necessary for the game, maybe you could change up the rhythm a little bit? The overall contrast between the very blocky terrain, and the very smooth and rounded, almost bubbly particle effects, clashed.
Thank you for the game!
Btw: It is just me or the rover looks like one of these? http://0.s3.envato.com/files/76631946/preview%20image.jpg.
Would love to see this as an actual game!
