LudumData

Under The Moon Delivery by Attala

[raw]
made by Attala for Ludum Dare 53 (COMPO)

Can you successfully navigate a spacecraft with low gravity and tight spaces? The poor astronauts rely on you to do just that. They have a lot of packages to be picked up and delivered.

Follow the arrow to your next pickup/delivery.

Controls:

Rotate - A, D or arrowkeys LEFT/RIGHT, (or controller)

Boost engine: SPACE, W or UP arrowkey, (or controller)

Remember to refuel at the landing pad where you start.

Web version is available and it's not that bad, but it's recommended to play the downloadable version for better quality and performance.

I enjoyed the art and the gameplay. I got lost on the surface and crashed the ship. I enjoyed playing tho.

I love this idea conceptually, and think the only thing that could have made it substantially better is just slightly better controls. It wasn't the specific keys, those were fine and perfect, but rather _just_ how painful it was to flop around by accident, immediately crash and burn, especially if you've gotten pretty far up to that point.

Love the graphics, the random astronauts waving and working on their stuff, the surface of the moon, it was all very immersive. The music was fitting as well. The controls felt a bit too floaty at first but after I got used to it I actually liked it, I do think the caverns were too tight to fully utilize the movement without being frustratingly careful. A simple take on the theme but with a very interesting atmosphere. Good job!

I really enjoyed that that it was a punishing game, it did make me a bit too careful, which made the gameplay a bit slow, but that is the only real criticism i can give this game. Everything else was awesome! GG guys, great game

Those graphics are super nice! Very well done!
It was a little to hard for me so I never managed to get a package home but the game felt very nice. Only when going high speed the ship was moving in small increments instead of fluent motion. I played web so could be that though...

You weren't kidding when you said our games were similar! You did a good job with yours. I especially like the models and large play area. The smoke particles fit quite nicely as well.

Rather humorous! I like it. A bit hard though.

Really nice touches on the graphics/level design! very challenging but not unreasonably difficult. really well executed game for 48 hours.

Hey there!

I do like how it feels like a small version of landing simulation from KSP (which I do love with all my heart tbh). It's a little bit hard to manipulate, but I think it's a nature of such games. I do like how music is supporting a mood of the game as well as small decorative pieces like guys standing and doing their own business all around :smile:

Nice work, guys!

@gabriele-marconi @erlioniel Just have to mention it's not "guys". Just me :) (Compo game)

@attala ah sorry! Usually I check who worked (and what's the team size), but looks like not this time :smile: And I was actually pretty sure that it was done by multiple people, tbh. Making such a game in 2 days by alone - that's an amazing work, dude :thumbsup: Sorry for not checking!

Nice game! Kinda hard but challenging to not crash the ship. Love the take on the theme and the graphics. Solid compo entry man!

Very cool game. The mechanics are very interesting. I had a bit trouble with A and D would have loved if it would be vic versa. The graphics looks good as well. I liked that "Warning leaving area of operation" I tried so many times to find the package but was always dying before reaching it :D Good job on the entry!

Looks like the difficulty of our games is similar. Nice work making a 3D game for the compo!

very cool game, i liked it! My fine motor skills were too bad though xD. Just imagine if a manual landing on the moon would be that hard. In this case they would need to have faked the moon landings in the late 60s / early 70s because Armstrong would otherwise need to have died like 100 times before managing the first successful landing :D :D. Anyway, great game, great topic :).

Very nice entry! Graphics and music were on point, the little light details worked very well. Game was VERY challenging though, getting the packages was easy, but the deliveries were sooo hard.
Maybe it's just me. Nice work anyways!!!! 👏👏

well executed, mechanics worked great. pretty intuitive and had no difficulty finding my way around you level design. one thing maybe adding an end to the game somehow so it can break the repetitiveness curse!

Very well made and impressive for a compo. I particularly like the particle effects, but the style looks very good in general. It gives off "Kerbal Space Program" vibes, which is another game I have enjoyed a lot.

Interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 53 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. https://youtu.be/d5bLQmuzzPs

I really like games like this. The graphics are super polished, and the movement is smooth. The tight corridors really challenged me, which was neat. When I got to the surface, I had a bit of a wow-moment as the moon spread out in front of me. Super fun game!
