In a galaxy besets by war between royal households determined to gain control over it one way or another, a man sets off on a quest with the objective to gather as much people as he can in order to rebuild the Human civilization in a better place. You are that man. Aboard your ship you will have to travel the galaxy, from system to system and from planet to planet, in search for people willing to join you and help you build a sustainable colony. But be wary, who knows what lurks in the darkness of space...

He, pretty cool game. I'd stick around longer if I could speed up the text as it scrolls out on screen. I followed a few story paths and it was intriguing. Good work!

Couldn't get past the second text, where one sits in the ship. :/

Sorry, this game confused me. I wasn't always sure whether the game acted as intended, in one moment I was in space and in the next moment I was on ground and had to choose whether I should drive right or left (stones were falling from the sky and of course I chose the wrong option). I got a glimpse of what I think the game should act like with the 'royals substory' but for my part I didn't get how most of the story was connected (or were the story random generated?)

Not a bad game. This isn't exactly my cup of coffee but I always try to be open minded during the LD event. And it was better than I expected :)
- Pros: Great audio and well set graphics. Not thrilling but, interesting overall concept.
- Cons: I understand why you wanted to make the text going slowly, but it would be cool if there was an option to fast forward it.

Is the HTML5 version working on Chrome? It doesn't work for me :S

Good to see a space narrative game!

Some constructive feedback:

· The text appearance pace was way too slow it felt frustrating. It would have been nice to be able to fully display the final text by pressing space or click.

· Replies tend to appear before the text writting is finished, it would be awesome if they appeared just after the text is finished, otherwise I feel tempted to just answer whatever option just to avoid having to wait. This is important but especially during a jam :zap:

Let me know if you get a more agile pacing on the game and I will give it another try :yup: Good job so far!

Liked the jokes and the music, but not being able to speed up the text speed makes the whole experience feel kind of slow. I would also recommend giving some sort of feedback like sound or a change of color when using the buttons. Good job!

A nice little space text adventure! Just one suggestion - the text could come up a bit quicker. I like the ship UI and animations. Good job!

Could not get past the intro screen and shooting comets in the web version using Firefox.

the music is very strong. it felt very surreal at the beginning because there was no set up. don't know if that was intentional. very cool though!

Interesting game,

Unfortunately, I abandoned my 12 crew members because the text was displaying slower and slower at every message (around half a second per letter when I gave up).

Also, like @mgoadric mentioned, the HTML5 version of your game on my Firefox gets stuck at the main menu.

Nice game nonetheless, congratulation.

@eptwalabha @mgoadric Sorry for this bug on Firefox, our tests was made in Chrome to be able to create an executable with nwjs

for the display of messages, we lacked time for modifying this sorry too :/

@all Thanks you for all your feedback, thanks to you, we can have a score in the end of this ld !! :smiley:
