That's a lot of assets in 48h, I am impress.

No vote for audio, but the song was kinda moody and cool. Pretty good loop indeed and the graphics are top notch! I liked upgrading stuff and seeing new models appear. Great job!

Great work Lana! It was fun exploring the ship and seeing which combinations in a day are most efficient. I can't believe you did all those assets that quickly!

Not sure if I understood when I could work or not... and went into debt fast :D... thought the mood, sound and graphics were great :) congrats

the game loop was ... alienating and put you in quite a mood ! Got stuck in the work/bath/eat/sleep loop =D
good job!

Was amazing to see the sole game dev, Lana, create this beautifully rendered spaceship from scratch over a weekend. The added background soundtrack with eerie space sound, setup great game play atmospherics! Had to figure out a strategy to earn credits to fix the FTL engine and return back to home. Much recommended!

this is by far my favorite ,good graphics and good game overall.nice work

As long as I've got a tribble cage and music I don't mind staying in that loop. Seriously though, this is very impressive for just a few days

Great game. It has a really cool feel, looks really nice, and plays great. Awesome work!

Fantastic submission! Amazing what you could do in a compo time limit. I loved that the stations kept getting visual upgrades when you upgraded them. I managed to beat the game only upgrading my sleep, work and plants. So maybe nerf the plants a little haha

this was an impressive little game, I got a bit stuck though, having fixed everything I couldn't figure out how to complete the game, I'm not sure if I missed an interactable or something. I also had to restart a couple of times since I didn't upgrade "work" first which seemed to put me into a sneaky death spiral... over all a cool entry though!

48h... really nice compo game!
I was always loosing more money than earning the two first runs then I figured my way out through maxing out work, kitchen and the tribble cage levels. Satisfying experience! I wonder how other players did it :)

if only I could also live with just a bath and work, haha. fantastic entry and an impressive amount of assets for a compo game. I ended up playing it for almost 40min just.. stuck in a loop.
Would have been nice to have some more varied music, and the balancing could use some work. my first play-through I ended up a debt slave and just restated the game, second time around I found that one day of like 8 baths and 1 reactor repair gave me 2 full days of work so I could in to this 3 day cycle. anyways really good work!

Extremely well made graphics, the best I've ever seen on an LD game!!

The audio is very nice too!

But the gameplay was kind of clunky. I didn't know exactly why the game wasn't letting me do the things. I clicked and nothing happened. It would be nice to have some kind of feedback, like "you don't have enough health" or something like that. This made me click on everything and I happened to lose a lot of money, turning into an eternal debt haha. I don't know if this was intended or not but I couldn't progress any further.

Besides that, it is a very good looking game with an awesome mood, nice job!

The game is really polished and a great time killer. Enjoyed seeing you work on the game live!

Great entry with good visuals and mood. I was kinda stuck and had to restart game few times to understand the concept of day/night time between work and taking care of other facilities on the ship. Job well done nontheless!

I got so much into the loop (pun intended) with this one that I decided to upgrade everything to max before heading home :smile: It's a very nice game and an amazing compo achievement. I liked the gameplay, the visual changes with upgrades and the graphics as well. Great all around!

Music was really not to my taste, so thank you for including a way to turn off the radio :).

One strange thing I found (Maybe a bug? Or simply oversight) - the maintenance of the ship takes away 50 bucks. But the description doesn't say anything about that. And it does cite costs with everything else. So I'm not sure if the cost of maintenance is intended and just not mentioned or if I just encountered a bug. Also, after upgrading, maintaining the ship also started to increase my happiness. Again, not sure if a bug or a feature :)

Thank you for a cool game experience!


Played it live on https://www.twitch.tv/fatsheep__ The gameplay loop was pretty simple but I found it fun with all the upgrades and stuff. I tried a couple runs to beat it as fast as possible, I wonder what the fastest route is. My favorite part was probably seeing all the upgrades starting to populate the ship. Only thing that I could think of that would make this game better or more challenging, is a way to lose. Running out of maintenance money, having to repair critical damage etc.

I was stuck for half an hour :) This is probably because of such a pleasant soundtrack and meditative gameplay. The only thing I would like is a little more space on the spaceship. Anyway, thanks a lot, this is a great game!

Stuck in the loop of a day job with poor equipment. Yikes. X(

Great work on this one! The assets and use of lighting definitely give the game a nice atmosphere, and the monotony of trying to turn a profit for that final upgrade hit me with a wave of Flash game nostalgia I wasn't prepared for.

I did have a strange problem where the mouse cursor was locked despite being in the upgrade shop. It wasn't a huge deal as I was able to back out of the menu with Esc. I also had the game load up in the wrong resolution, with my UI crossing the borders of the screen.

Overall, I had a good time with this one. I liked that old-school browser game sense of progression and it definitely nailed this LD's theme.

The game is looking great! However for some reason I ran out of money :) I can't get idea how to earn enough money. The work doesn't give much. I would have added some random events in a game. And one more thing: I would remove the chair where you do your work.. Or made the chair transparent, to make things faster. =)

I really liked the mood of a lonely ship stuck in space, especially with the calming music. The problem was that the game fullscreened in browser, and I often couldn't completely read the texts in the corners of the screens, which I think is why I missed some important information. I like the idea of having to manage the three elements, and doing it with different activities tho! For some reason, I couldn't always do something, so maybe I missed a warning message or a cooldown timer or something.. Anyway, I ended up with crippling depth and no way of knowing how to fix it, woops! I still really liked walking around the space ship and just chilling out. The sounds and graphics are beautiful, good job!

Wow ! doing that amount of great work alone is amazing !

Nice little game, never ending loop, good sound effects, bad collision detection (got stuck in wall and ceiling a few times) overall ok :thumbsup:

Nice management game, I like it and would love to see it pushed further with mini-gameplays for activities etc.
Great job for a compo !

Hey, I played your game on stream if you're interested the VOD is posted here.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/765239564

Looks and sounds beautiful.

Game is very nicely balanced. I have only upgraded plants twice and reactor once and started grinding cash to FTL. I hope I did not miss anything, as when I bought the drive nothing happened. Not sure if I should get more levels of FTL?

One of the best I have played so far.

Cheers!

Fun little grind. Would be nice if you could get a better idea of the value an upgrade will bring in order to decide what you might want to prioritize purchasing.

Amazing job as always. Game looks fantastic. Took me a few minutes to get into but eventually got into a good rinse and repeat pattern. Original take on the theme too. Like last LD I kept an eye on your stream when I had a minute and it's always fun to see the end product after I've watched some of the progress :)

Feels like a metaphor for life in uhm... these times :'D

So many assets in so little time are super impressive, especially for a Compo! The radio song was perfectly chosen for the sedated, calm lifestyle portrayed. Would have been nice to have some more in-game indications, but in that short timeframe this needed to be done, I really don't want to complain too much.

What I do feel is a shame is that you obviously spent a lot of time on the upgrade system, yet a small amount of players will ever see them as the pacing of the game is rather slow... or maybe I'm just a moron who missed an obvious mechanic (wouldn't be the first time).

Nice, grindy game for a chill evening!

Impressive for 48h, I like the overall concept. the UI is ambiguous on some parts : did it really improve my stats? or maybe it just restored them? is that upgrade going to be worth it? but that uncertainty is part of life.
