This Is Fine by TheCommonThug
Things don’t look great for the Terfs. They need to evacuate their planet.
Help them mine precious minerals from asteroids in order to build them a mothership. The faster the better. Don’t be too risky though, or they might accidentally leave radio signal range and run out of oxygen while away from their orbiter.
Clicking will select ships and asteroids. You can not send commands to a ship if it is not selected (highlighted green).
'Space' will send the launch command to a selected ship and ‘R’ will send the return home command.
Go to the planet, Hometerf, for building options to help manage resources with ‘2’ and head to Shrek’s Lab for upgrades with ‘3’. You can always zoom back out to see space with ‘1’.
Once you’ve expanded your space view with some upgrades try zooming it in and out with ‘Q’ and ‘W’. Have fun researching tech with Shrek and building up the planet until you’re able to complete the mothership and send the Terfs off to a new home!

No Big deal if you don't though :smile:
Then I read the details on the LD page and had quite a lot of fun sending Terfs in outer space :D
I love their voices and mining many asteroids at once felt great :)
After some improvements you earn resources way too fast so I won without even getting on another asteroid belt than the 1st one, and it had gotten so small on the screen that I couldn't even see the ships I selected. A zoom option would be great, with a bit of balancing on the resources gain after the 2nd/3rd mining speed upgrade. I wanted to mine those other asteroid belts before winning :,(
Also with 2/3 more texts in the game explaining the commands it would be great ;)
Good job overall !
- when you start getting upgrades the game gets a little too easy
- I didn't know what the buildings actually did until after I got them
- if you could cycle through ships with the TAB button it would make the game play a lot smoother
other than that, great job! definitely better than what I did :)
Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam!
