Managed it first time. Was a little difficult working out what was going on. Game is pretty basic, considering it was made in Unity, but I can see there could be fun in a Kerbal Space Program sort of way if you extended it. Could also really benefit from some deep bassy rumbles as you enter the atmosphere and some wind noises (check out bfxr for that sort of thing).

Interesting mechanics. But maybe to few of them. The russian writing added to the theme nicely and didn't stop you from understanding what the game was trying to tell you.

Interesting, but there was not much to do and I don't know if I landed safely because the game restarted instantly. I do like the theme and mood though, the shaking, the sound, particles, the cyrillic text etc.
Some russian voice acting on top would even make me consider rating the mood with six :~)

Hehe, my step brother spoke russian (but i did the sound work at 1am so ...), i had to cut features like parachute to make it fit into the 48h. I know the end is not very clear, thanks for the review !

But I had fun!

Not sure if I 'won'? Text was still red at the end, despite a soft (I think?) landing? I'm learning Russian, so was nice to recap some vocab! :D

I love the idea, but it would be better with another graphics (like an old and creepy soviet terminal). Some physics are missing I guess :?

You have to play this game just for the thruster sound ! really nice game, simple mechanic but well made, very entertaining! good job

Xavier i though about the old soviet terminal (even if the current soyouz works on MS-DOS). Physics is not really missing, more like a parachute :D

Tx @dray.

Great job, the camera shake and the audio added to the intensity
