The art direction is great. I want to love the gameplay. It is a really neat concept. And my kind of game loop. It's a bit frustrating that scheduled launches can lock up an airlock for so many days.
EDIT: I love it! The addition of the four side hubs solves the issue of losing an airlock with each solar panel. Managing airlocks feels like a major part of the game now.
Seconding this! Sometimes when there's only one enemy left it switches back to the calm music and tower stop firing as the enemy crawls across the screen
Congrats on having a game finished in your first game jam! Glad you had fun. I bet you've already learned a lot to bring to your next project.
There's definitely some great ideas with slapdash execution in here. The jank is forgivable given it being a jam. I was able to make it to the end, though without the video I would have assumed the game was soft locked in the first room. Though this is only my personal opinion, I think the undo should either be in reverse time order (like undo in any app) and or per rotatable object. Both would be amazing for player experience.
Love the sound and art design of this. I kept running into bugs, but also really want to experience more of this. What I was able to play made a solid impression. Great work!
Great quick puzzle game! The way the robots adapt as they and their surrounding shrink and grow is fantastic! As I stood on the circle of 2-4, I wanted more
The main menu music was great. Wish there was more of it! This concept is great. Initially I thought the game was broken until I realized arrows and space work in the garage.
Hey. I'm another gamedev, but also I sometimes represent an indie consulting group for indie game devs. We basically either coach on or handle a lot of non-implementation parts of gamedev. If you want some allies to calmly walk you through your next steps, shoot us an email at support-at-zemoredesign.com or pr-at-zemoredesign.com, or reply to this comment, or find me on discord.
Your initial thought was correct. The colored "goal" line back at the start appears after you've collected the groceries and run through the checkout area. I introduced a bug while fixing a bug at the end, and nothing happens when you pass through it.
