Space Control by Samuel Henderson

made by Samuel Henderson for LD 43 (JAM)

Control everything in your spaceship from oxygen levels to its weight to travel the furthest distance possible.

If you run out of fuel, your player becomes unhappy or the engine overheats you lose. Do everything you can to travel the longest distance. The further you travel, the more coins you get and the more supplies you can afford, thus the longer you will survive.

How long will you last in Space Control…

Nice concept... But if there was a flying spaceship it would have been much better

Lots of things to manage with this game. I felt like things generally happened to fast - I'm just putting out fires instead of preparing a strategy to last longer. That being said, I still enjoyed myself - nice work!

The game was interesting, though I think it would have been nice if the graphics were more like a space ship.

Interesting idea but a bit boring to play.

Nice mechanic but having a bit more feedback about what effects what would be nice. Also the timing should be a bit longer I think.

It was a bit hard to understand, what do I need to do :D
At first, I thought that it is a game about running on a tredmill while trying to lose weight :D

As other people have said, a graphical version of a space ship or a passing starfield would have gone a long way in the game. The mechanics were simple enough, some more randomness or events happening would have spiced up gameplay a lot, or having shops an area you have to reach rather than always being avaliable would have allowed more strategic choices.

Overall, it was enjoyable, if a little simple.

Nice game. Some scenery (spaceship with stars passing by etc.) would have enhanced the game by quite a bit. The buy button itself does not work, you have to click the icon. I like the idea, even though I think the final implementation is a bland. I don't think the theme was really integrated as I never had to shed weight.
