We Are The N-O-T-H-I-N-G by paulhocker
Background
You awaken in a strange room, confronted by a set of globes spinning around your head. You can make out some kind of glyph inside each globe, but you don't understand what it means.
You remember that your ship was crahing somewhere near the alpha quadrant, and you order everyone to evacuate. You wonder if anyone survided?
You wonder if you will find any of the survivors?

More of a prototype, than a game. Still kind of fun, and something I want to explore.

Good job, and I look forward to your future update!
I like the camera shifting system, reminds me of old Zelda games. What I would suggest though is that if you're going to have this system of "screens" then you probably shouldn't be able to walk off at ANY point. If you have borders then it makes each screen feel more hand crafted and intentional. As it currently is, the cut off points for each screen feel arbitrary, that you're on one big screen but it's only showing you a bit at a time.
If you wanna go with the screen system, I'd suggest making each one a bit more self contained, so that each one looks distinct. Check out The Legend of Zelda and how they funnel the player through one or two specific exit points. Together the areas can feel like a full world, but each individual one should have its own thing going for it, if that makes sense?
