sunset by peterfsat

[raw]
made by peterfsat for LD 39 (COMPO)

Having been in the Colony's fleet for many years, you usually mind your own business scavenging. Today, you get an emergency broadcast.

Welcome to sunset.

Instructions

If not using Windows, download the love2d executable for your platform from here

Arrows to move, Z to interact, Q to quit.

Follow the arrows at the left/right side of the screen if you are lost. Beacons are hard to find but trust the indicators! You will find them by going forward eventually.

Collect enough fuel at first, so you can venture deeper into the unknown.

Disclaimer

Consider this unfinished, as parts of the story are missing. The game is quite unbalanced in terms of fuel given / ship speed because I ran out of time.

Enjoy!

Wow, those beacons were so hard to see at range! I should have just used the arrows and gone forward a bit to better find them I guess. Eventually I died from radiation poisoning just after finding the mini map. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be aiming for and just picked a random dot.... an died, haha.

I can't seem to get past the black screen, nothing I do makes it go away? How do I actually play ? :(

Really interesting graphics =]
Things that are a little unclear
the font - a big no. Took me way too long to realize that character was Z.
The interface was kinda hard on me. Maybe I'm the only dummy but it took me a few tries before I realized I could move forward. Starting close to an object would help a lot since all I saw was tiny dots I thought were particle efects XD

kinda confusing at first (took me a while to guess you were in FPV), once you get the hang of it, the story's cool. But yeah, reading is kinda hard with this font.
