A downloadable game for Windows

After crashing on an alien world, you have to find your way back to your space ship to get home. When you die, the world is  reset, but your place in it isn't.

Use WASD to move and arrow keys to shoot. R hard-resets the game from the very beginning.

I created all the assets using Charm's SoftDecay GB palette, available to download free from Lospec.

Cool game ! I like the look and controls, the enemy attack signaling was pretty clear and everything was pretty natural. My only problem was that it took me way to long to understand the goal of the game, I didnt notice the "distance" UI at first, once I figured it out it was cool to try to reach the end. So if I'd have any critique it would be to make the objective of the game clearer. Also I wasnt sure if the environement damage was a good or bad thing since killing enemies would increase it, so I wasnt sure if I was supposed to avoid damage or do damage.

Was fun !

The game definitely needs a minimap, sadly. Environmental damage is there simply to lampshade how if you found yourself on a planet that isn’t your home, you probably shouldn’t respond by opening fire on everything in sight, but it’s incredibly half-assed so in the end it’s my least favorite part of the game. I’m glad you enjoyed it though! Thanks for playing!
