Areographer by Gulyasarni66

[raw]
made by Gulyasarni66 for Ludum Dare 47 (COMPO)

CONTROLS: WASD for walking, space for jumping and E for interaction.

Have you ever known what it feels like to be "stuck in a loop" doing the same menial tasks while on a mission on the surface of Mars? W-what do you mean no? Well, in that case, this is the perfect game for you! "Areographer" let's you experience just that! Survive 5 chilling days on Mars while managing your oxygen levels and doing tasks!

To be honest, this project didn't turn out how I wanted it to be, but I guess that's part of the Ludum Dare experience, haha. I focused too much on the atmosphere and artwork, and ended up having to cut the majority of gameplay elements. Despite that, I do hope you enjoy this little game.

Wow! it's an openworld survival game with lovely lowpoly models and moody sound! I enjoyed playing it! Great submission!

I've decided. I won't be going to Mars even though I do like looking at rocks.

Got a bug with the movement controls after a while, pressing S made my character move right instead of down.

Enjoyable soft models. Martian mission atmosphere presents. Got bug - one rock did not want to be inspected.

I like the models and the minimalist UI. Not so much the constant heavy breathing, lol.
While I do think you've succeeded at capturing the atmosphere of a monotonous loop of going out, completing a trivial task, and going back in only to repeat the process, you've also succeeded at showing exactly why there aren't many games like this -- it's not exactly engaging or fun. Still, good job on completing your submission in time.
