Fun game, I got stuck near the end and couldn't find a second fuse. Any hints?

@neverwinsthegame *SPOILERS* The fuse is actually in your room (the room you start in) on the table and second datapad you need a password you get from hacking a nearby datapad

Nice game that keeps you interested in the story. The camera shake is really too high and made me sick before I could finish. Could you reduce it?

Really nice game. I was intrigued the whole time.

Great graphics, sounds and music, did you make all the assets yourself?. The voice acting was a nice touch, too.

I only have one problem with this game. Why on earth would you have the camera shake so much? Also I'd expect the A and D keys to strafe, not turn the whole camera.

Basically, I'd much rather have a character controller work just like any other FPS. Unless, of course, you were trying to simulate a drunk person, in that case the camera is completely fine :sweat_smile:

Great job, anyway!

You don't get many jam games with voice acting! Good job, great atmosphere! However, as @owlycode mentioned, the shaking definitely could use some tuning down.

I couldn't find the password. The game is a little bit jarring and lag a bit on the browser. You can exit the map in multiple way and there is no restart if you go bellow the ground. But overall it was fun to play! The graphics and the ambiance were really nice. The audio dialog makes me laugh. Thank you!

Cool game! I liked the cool spaceship interiors! A few notes I would add, the screen skake is crazy, it made me feel a little sick, though I was able to escape. And I couldn't really hear the dialogue at all, you would probably want to make it so the dialogue isn't affected by 3d space so it is more clear (subtitles would be great to!). Oh and I liked the music too, good job on that!

I escaped! The voice acting made me laugh! The camera made me a bit dizzy though haha :laughing:

I'm liking the concept, but the camera movement/controls are a major pain so I didn't get very far into the game. Definitely not for people who get motion sick easily.

Ahhh, that what I call good job! Really like voiceovers btw :) And sfx with music obviously too.

Overall mood of the game it great and seem to have put a lot of work into it, the voice acting, the 3D environment, the music! The camera shaking all the time, however, is not a very pleasant experience in my opinion, although it matches the theme 😅.
Great job overall!

I overall like the idea, and the voice acting is pretty good, but I could not always hear everything that was sayed. I did not like the weird camera shake. And the game do in general feels a bit unfinished. But overall is it a okay little jam game.

The voice acting was well done, the background music and sound effects too. I liked how the camera shake looked, but only for a little bit. It got annoying pretty quickly and I think it might give some people motion sickness.

Neat atmosphere with the voice acting. however the camera shake is particularly awful if you walk diagonally, which I do by habit lmao. One thing I am curious about though, is the second locker that's also asking for a fuse, just before the escape pod at the end.

Nice entry! I think that I found your test scene as well whilst I was looking out of one of the windows. Overall 9/10 good game!

Oh man, I sure feel unstable after playing that :laughing: Great work! Loved the voice acting and the humor in the game.

Im a lil confused, was I supposed to walk out of the escape pod immediately after opening the easy password door into the endless abyss of space? I really liked the visuals and voice acting btw

Very nice voiceovers, they put you in the game immediately, the only issue - is some troubles with walking. Also, it's a very cunning move to put on of the fuses in the first roon you start in, it's like in the old PC quests.

Nice little adventure and puzzles easy enough for me :smile: I agree with some of the other players that the wobble is a bit too much when walking,

This game is so close to being really awesome. Really nice voice work and graphics... But the camera shake was so bad I would get motion sick and I almost never get motion sick. I would up getting through by pointing myself where I wanted to go, look away, and walk for a while. This was an inconvenience for me, but I know for some people it would make the game literally unplayable.

It also wasn't always clear where voices in the environment were coming from, but that's not that big of a deal.

Really cool visuals and nice voiceovers. Loved the knockdown effects! The camera was way too wobbly and it made me uncomfortable. Was better once I stopped using A and D for strafing.

nice job, especially for compo! I liked all the voice over, especially about the password. the game reminded me a bit of The Stanley Parable.

I know you were going for "UNSTABLE" but the camera shake was a bit extreme, I think. it adds to the personality of the game for sure, but a little less, or maybe a user setting to reduce it, would be appreciated.

I actually found the hacking a bit frustrating, because I think of WASD in terms of arrow directions, not the actual button letters, so I struggled to remember what finger mapped to what letter.

I think the graphics were pretty cool, did you do any modeling yourself?

I think I beat the game by getting to the escape pod, but I was a bit confused, because right before then, I found an empty fuse box that needed fuses to be repaired. I ended up accidentally escaping as I was trying to find the fuses. are there multiple endings or something?

The unstable camera was very rough, but all of the other bits, voice, graphics, interaction, etc. were all really a great entry! Fantastic!

Very nice game. As said before the camera shake was a little to much (I actually got a little dizzy :/ ) but apart from that very very nice! I love games with a little story especially if it's guided by a voice.

The hacking puzzle was hard but doable which is perfectly balanced. I also like the amount of props you made just to make the spaceship give some realism. The music was also nice and fitted the theme. Overall bravo :)

Good game. Nice audio work, graphics and game mechanics.
The cutscene when the player stumbles down feels and looks great.
The camera motion is too much, but I managed to finish the game without getting motion sickness.

Alright after seeing the little explosion cut-scene where camera falls I was impressed and thought I would be able to push through and finish the game, but unfortunately the camera shake and the controls where just too much, I was starting to feel ill and couldn't play anymore, which is a shame, I really with I could have seen the whole game.
