Just beat the game!

What I liked:

- Great graphics
- Great sounds
- Funny gameplay and dialog
- High production quality

What I disliked:

- A bit too easy
- Soo much text floating everywhere, I didn't had time to read everything
- The clipping of the character make me stuck to often on the corner of walls and item, there can be improvement there.

That was really cool to play, thanks and great job!

Good ass game.

I love it! Great humor, enough different events to keep you entertained at least for a few flights, AWESOME IN-DIALOGUE MINIGAMES! When I got the first fire I totally panicked and lost half of my remaining furniture.

The only two minor things I disliked were the controls (you stuck at the walls sometimes and if you hold up and press right he'll keep going up, instead of turning, which I didn't like), and I think I've had a bug when I was bringing the last table to the furnace and decided to throw it to move faster, and once it was flying I've got a "no energy" dialogue. I still had my pants at that point so that's okay, but would I lose if I hadn't, even though there's a table remaining?

Thank you for the kind reviews!
@togis Yes, character controls and feels a bit rough, sorry about that. Regarding difficulty - the game's supposed to be fun, easy and stupid, because hard challenge doesn't really work with this genre.
@mortus Haha, thanks! You would not lose, of course, while you still have stuff to burn. Last chances dialog used to appear only if you have nothing to burn, but we've tweaked it to allow the player spare a single item. You know, to save a friend. You wouldn't burn a poor old Jenkins, would you?

Very nice idea! Fits the theme well, funny gameplay. Overall a nice game!

I love how lighthearted this game is for what could be interpreted as quite a gloomy, desperate theme. It has great humor, and who would have thought it would be so satisfying to burn chairs on a spaceship? I would echo what @togis has said in terms of there being an overwhelming amount of dialogue on screen at once, but that would be my only criticism. Awesome job!

This game reminds me of FTL. I like how the music, graphics and writing all fit together very nicely! Well done!

I had a lot of fun with this game! It reminded me a lot of FTL, especially with the dialogue boxes. It's awesome that you managed to put in so many different events and outcomes, and I liked that your options are sometimes limited by what you've already thrown in the furnace (I made the awful mistake of getting rid of my chairs very early on). The sense of humor is fantastic, too - I especially enjoyed the different quips you get when picking up an item.

I really enjoyed this game. The humor was great, nice use of dialog boxes! The game felt polished. And I like how you guys used the theme. My only gripe with the game is that the music was repetitive. Overall a well made game :)

Fantastic game! The humor was excellent. I really appreciated the Final Ship Log Record recapping the events you went through. Art was superb. There were enough random elements to keep gameplay interesting. Thanks for the experience!

Pretty cool game I wish it was a bit longer and harder. I still enjoyed it alot.

Thank you for the game.

I really liked this game, the graphics were kind on the eyes and the humor was actually quite good. I noticed that I got stuck on a lot of walls but it did not upset the game flow too much since it is not a very stressful game. I thing the only part I disliked about your game was that the ambient sound and music was a bit high pased causing me to become a bit stressed out and skipping a lot of the text. I guess it made the game seem like it was on a timer and that there was no time to read all the text. Which is a shame since you seem to have put a lot of time and effort into you text and dialogue. I know I contradicted myself in this post but I hope you understand what point I was trying to make, fun game, sound made it feel more stressful then it actually was, all in all good game...design.

Amazing, nothing bad to say. Just keep making this kind of games. Great main mechanic + amazing event manager. I was enjoying every second of it (and obviously reached my destination. My pants... I'll miss them). Here you have a full 5!

Fun game with resource management. The dialog and minigames really add a lot to the experience.

I like that simplistic pixelart :) Game is funny and include some story which I like it :) I never burn server because I like your LD jam entry :)

Great entry, enjoyed the ride, nice art, nice sound, funny dialogue, not too much game play aside from throw everything in the furnace but thats fine I still had a lot of fun. Already looking forward to see your teams entry in the next LD.

Really fun game! I actually laughed out loud several times. The theme is a lot of fun and I really liked the art style. I agree that the game was a bit easy, but I was definitely entertained.

Haha! All have to be burnt!!!!
Nice game and humor! Pixel art is cool!

@a333 That makes sense, I didn't think about it that wa... err, I mean, of course you're right. That's what I thought!

Nice game! Very funny!

Great game! The panel text was pretty funny and I enjoyed the descriptions of stuff I picked up before tossing it into the engine.

If I had a complaint it would be that it's quite easy, I'm actually not sure you can lose. But that may not be the point as it was still quite enjoyable to get to the end of the game anyway. Good job!

Awesome entry, very fun to play. Graphics and audio are great. Nice work!

my favorite entry for now !!!! it's So cool, for many aspect !

This is the best game on this jam in my opinion. The only issue was the walls, but i was having great time with this game.

Not really a big fan of this type of genre , but love the graphics and sound , also love the concept

the first comment of @togis had all i had to say but this shitty system forced me to make this useless comment about how good your game is.

Great game.

Not sure I've ever played 5:star: humour entry before, every bit of dialogue had a comedic angle (and the concept itself) which is fantastic! I was looking forward to the outcome of every stupid decision I made (Including putting Jenkins in the furnace first and reading all the options that included him afterwards :stuck_out_tongue:)

Everything else was also really well done, audio and art had the type of simplicity and style I love seeing in these game jams and the amount of small little minigames was amazing, even if I did fail most of them...

Some have said it's a bit easy, but I don't rally think challenge is an important part of every game, especially a game that rewards you for multiple play-throughs.

Amazing game! Well done :grinning:

@nisco We mostly cannot express our gratitude to all players and to you in particular with mere words, but this shitty social relationship system forced us to make this useless reply about how happy we are.

Thank you! =)

Wow ! This is my favorite game of this LD so far ! Loved it, I played it three times, and I really think you should continue the dev . Keep doing the good work

One of best LD#39 games. Simple and yet very funny and fits theme very well. It was a little bit easy, but still funny. It can be expanded to a full scale Steam game if developer keep the project on.

All the attention to detail really shines through in this game. Manually navigating the ship through an asteroid belt? No problem. Throwing chairs into menacing aliens? You got it. Picking up fires and frying your brain in a space storm? Absolutely!

Now if you excuse me, I have to go play some more!

Wow, very nice game, I feel so bad for everything I've thrown as fuel now... But I succeed! This game is absolutely lovely, from its humor to its graphics and gameplay. It could be interesting to have aliens being destroying things in the ship (maybe they do it, but that wasn't the case during my two runs). Anyway, great work!

I've seen a333 rating a few games around, so I decided to give his a go. And I definitely don't regret it! Super fun game, really well done. The scripts and interactions have a great humor to it and I loved that at the end I got shamed on by my mistakes hahaha. Really awesome entry, congrats!

Nice use of the theme and fun game mechanics and interactions. I could have played this for a lot longer. Good work!

@solah, yeah, aliens usually destroy objects on your ship. Maybe they just weren't hungry :) Or you are very lucky! Also, robo-aliens are interested in electronic devices only, they don't need your chairs.

Loved the humor, art-style, and game-play. I wasn't a huge fan of the music, it felt too overpowering at times. Keep up the good work!

Great game. Nice work.

really like the graphics . I quote @togis words! Great game!

Love the art style and the audio!
That's really fun to see the description of each item and the event!
Also, that's awesome that I can pick up fire and alien haha
Then, when I want to save my potato, I throw it out of space unexpectedly!
Haven't think that you made that function, there's fun everywhere in your game!

what I liked

- very FTL, only somehow *more* engaging
- very funny
- very polished!
- excellent idea and hard choices, felt very alive
- the pop references :D
- the asteroid navigation minigame was superb! I really felt like navigating the field!

what I didn't like
- !

Wow, this has quite a lot of content in it! The theme is well implemented and everything in the game is set out to support a role-playing experience. It feels very focused, using design limitations to its advantage.

Seems like you managed to make a very complete engine supporting the event-based gameplay. I especially appreciate the user-friendly details and amount of feedback (without coming across as too verbose). The game does a good job at explaining what your available actions are thru gameplay, and what you could've done differently.

I thought the difficulty was spot on in the sense that the game gives you several chances to recover. It gives this an edge over entries which are tuned to be overly penalizing. In a jam game, it's important that the first mistake you make doesn't prevent you from seeing what the game has to offer.

The random events were very varied and had a humorous character that kept me going. Some even had minigames inside dialogue, details like that are a big deal. And I love how the game acknowledges your decisions after a game over, this game is just full of fun surprises.

One of my personal favorite entries, I simply had fun the whole time!

I loved it !

- The gameplay is really cool, remind me of FTL (My favorite game ever, soooooo)
- The graphics are really good (Really nice pixel art, smooth animations)
- The audio were not the best, the loop was annoying passed a certain point
- The combat mechanics was complicated, difficult to aim i think
- Can you die ?

I didn't understood at first the concept, but once i got it, it was awesome !

very nice graphics! and music too

Thank you for kind reviews everyone!

@Gurvan yep, colliders could do some work.. but the decisions were made to improve other, more important areas. Indeed you could die, though you'll need to be very unlucky (or throw everything out from the ship)

Just fantastic :) One complaint: the messages would pop up a bit too often so that it became a bit annoying. Other than that this game gets a full score from me!

This is a fun game. The graphics are perfect for this kind of game. I enjoyed the humor and the style. Thanks for the submission. I hope you keep working on this and make some additional content for the game. Cheers.

Freaking brilliant! The moment I took off my pants to make it the final distance home was the moment I gave you a perfect review. This is probably the best game I've played so far. The attention to detail in what appears to be a simple concept is just outstanding.

Great game. Wish I'd got to take my pants off. No problems with walls. Could of been a little harder but overall fantastic work. Very funny, engaging, looks and sounds amazing. Fabulous work!

Ахаха
Первая игра на этом Людуме, которая вызвала у меня столько приятных впечатлений))
Всё на своём месте: юмор, графика, геймплей)
Молодцы, парни!

The texts made me smile — it's the first 5 stars for humor from me :)

And it's so great how gameplay choices is close-connected to game narrative! As a result it's very fun to make choices (cause they feel impactful) and explore game possibilities.

Очень круто :)

A very unusual humor sense,and make people do interesting choices. Nice work.

Wonderful humour and text here, while the game play it self was really easy it was countered by the extremely awesome dialogue and the fact you chuck things into a big fiery furnace! Really loved the atmosphere that was created this well, everything seemed to gel really well. Only slight gripe was getting stuck on the walls was really easy but other than that it was such a solid and fun entry, well done! ^-^

I really liked the humor and the idea. The little character is walking a bit too slowly for me but otherwise it's a very cool game!

Very cool game. Than it reminds FTL. I like the pixel art and the idea of gameplay. Simple and very interesting. Random events and mini-games deserve special attention.

this is one of the best games here if you want my opinion! (๑>ᴗ<๑) Hilarious, atmospheric, good story, art, and i was giggling reading those dialogs ^_^ i wish you will make full game of it! reminded me good old days i'v spent with FTL and Space Rangers with their text quests. Giving you fives with warm heart. ಥ‿ಥ

This was a very unique take on the theme. It wasn't too hard, and I felt there wasn't much in terms of gameplay, but that's fine because I think this was more of an interactive experience to serve as a vehicle for the comedy. And the comedy was awesome! Good job!

Love this game! Especially how you used the theme. Mood also awesome!

Very nice idea, I love the graphics, maybe the pop up system is a little annoying. You could use the bottom text zone instead to avoid that.
The minigames are a very nice addition.

I burned everything. It was super fun!

Fun Game. Lived the text

Absolutely awesome. The best game so far, a real beauty. A perfect LD submition honestly, full score from me.

With that said, if you'd like to continue working on this awesome game I'd like to see some more mini-game content, like the cargo thing. Brilliant but easy. I got real happy when I saw it and it'd be awesome to have more little challenges like that. I probably don't need to tell you these things though, just the same game but more and interesting features. Loved it!

Great entry! Funny dialog, simple enough mechanics, The art totally serves the atmosphere and the minigames help the mood. Congrats! Full points on humor!

Verry nice game! The dialoge was funny, the graphics looked nice, and the game even remembers my choices and gives answers that depend on them!

The music was great, the inpacts were nice, I enjoyed the mini games and the dialoge was both funny and sometimes helpfull!

I can't find any negatives. This is a very well made game, and it feels completed! Well done! :smile:

Great game I really enjoyed it!

This was awesome. I really enjoyed the connection between dialogues and burning the stuff :) Awesome game!

Really funny game, with some cool interactions and dialogues, and great graphics too.

This was hilarious. I did 4 playthroughs, it was really fun! The graphics were great, along with the atmosphere - reminded me of Faster Than Light. Felt very polished overall, simple and effective.

I was navigating the asteroid field so successfully until...y'know what. Bastards. Made me laugh too hard.
One of the best games I've played this LD.

Really enjoyed this, one of the better LD entries this year! Space Quest meets FTL? Love the sprite work.

Very fun game. Really enjoyed playing it. The graphics and mood made it a great experience.

I have made some harsh decisions to survive. This game is fun (and funny), I played it 2 times, the first time I died (after losing my dignity... *ehm* pants) and the second time, I did it (I made pirate laugh s much they decided to leave). The art is great and the music is great too. Overall, one of the most enjoyable games I have played in the jam.

Really cool game! An hilarious way to adapt the theme. I've enjoyed the sense of humor but also the graphics (I think that tiny style is pretty cute and cool).I like how dialog windows appears, pretty soft :P

Nice job guys 👍

That was hilarious.

Wow! The game is hilarious, fits the theme well, and has charming art and music.

I love the amount of content, variety and replayability of this game! It seem to have everything, from the various minigames, tough decisions, humorous story, and the fact that everything can (and probably eventually will) be burned.

Excellent game!

>A long journey home,
>fraught with burnable perils!
>**must...feed...the furnace!**

This was great! The random events really make you worry about throwing something useful into the engine. It did seem like excessive bravado worked out better than a more reasonable approach (or at least it did for my run), but that just fits with the humor of the game.

I also liked how it listed all of your (questionable) accomplishments at the end, a really nice touch!

I don't know what it says about me wanting an alien infestation so that I could put them all into the furnace. This was a very, very funny game with humorous writing. The mini-games were a nice touch too. My new motto, "if it's not nailed down, put it in the furnace!" ... which has my family a little worried about me.

great game!

Solid entry! Really love the FTL like narrative, the humor, the final ship log, and the overall look! Really nice work! I think you could do a lot more with this one!
