The Amazing but Lonesome Adventures of Greg the Spaceman by dem0

[raw]
made by dem0 for LD22 (COMPO)
Now with super-long loading times!

Your name is Greg. You are a spaceman. Oh, and btw you are lost on an unknown planet far away from your friends, accompanied only by your loyal spacecraft which is, by the way, running out of fuel. You have to navigate through narrow caverns with your spaceship.

edit. repaired time taking and uploaded new file

edit. took a short gameplay video, in which the game is 5x slower than in reality (damn you Fraps) but shows something about it

This is a pretty standard precision control game, but it's still a little fun. It matches the theme a little bit, too.
The audio was cute, which contributed to the humor.

The first level is way too challenging with these gameplay mechanics though, which is really holding you back.

The hand drawn graphics are great though. (I'm a sucker for such things)

It was super fun, just like most landing games.
The hand-drawn graphics are a big++, very nicely done.

Sound fits.

Difficulty is a bit too hard, but once mastered it's fine.

Didn't know the fuel metre was for fuel, thought it was health.

I really like the hand drawn graphics and the audio, but the game itself is incredibly frustrating. After I mastered the first level, I died twice by hitting a small white mark in the middle of the path and ragequit.

I'm planning to release a better version after the LD is completely over (for it doesn't affect the rating) which fixes some bugs and has new, not-so-pain-in-the-ass levels

Strange: the game runs but I can't get the ship to move. Z, left, right don't do anything, and P just make it explode. I tried playing around with keys.txt but no cigar. I'm using Windows XP on a rather old laptop, maybe too old for this.
