KNOWN BUGS:

If you pause then unpause, the game is permanently frozen. Will upload a fix when game jam voting is over! For the time being, please do not pause the game.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Controls:

WASD to move || LMB to fire weapon/break trees and rocks || ESC to pause game 

You need to keep track of your Thirst, Hunger, Oxygen level, and health!

Bring your thirst up by going up to the lake, your hunger with the bananas that get dropped by aliens, and oxygen by being near trees! If all three of these are full, you will begin regaining health, too!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Objective:

Your name is Johannes von Schnitzel, a Lead Scientist at MASA. A world-wide space program, that employed hundreds of thousands. Your job was to try to save humanity from its impending doom, but to your demise, you were too late. You sent your crew to Planet GJ 9066, and you stayed while you collected the last few supplies. Unfortunately, your time was up, and the Earth's tectonic plates started shifting apart right under your feet. You got on your space ship and left, but an asteroid hits your ship on the way out, knocking you unconscious. You wake up, and your comms radio is acting up, but you try to contact your crew. They made it to the planet, but you couldn't quite hear their coordinates, and now, can't get in contact with them...

Explore this bizarre planet, collect resources, fight aliens, and find your crew!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

About Us:

We are Zach Harger and John Morach, two friends with a passion for game development! We met on a Minecraft server years ago, and the rest is history....

This is our first game jam submission ever, and the first project we have worked on together. We will be doing many more in the future, and hope you are willing to come along with us as we learn and create!

Please give us any feedback that you have, as it would greatly improve our skills as we continue to learn game development! :)

When you pause the game and then resume, the controls break.Also, the cursor doesn't move while walking. Not sure if that's intentional.

Hey -- thank you for bringing these bugs to our attention. Neither are intentional. I definitely see the pause menu screen bricking the game, but don't know see what you see when you say the cursor doesn't move when walking. Is this on the website build or did you download the file? On both the web build and the windows build for myself, it seems to let me move the crosshair when walking! Definitely let me know how to replicate this bug exactly, so we can fix it  :) thank you!

Hey. I recorded a video about the Beginners Circle Jam #3 and included your game in it. It was fun. I love the cut scene and story. If you want to cut your game out of the video, let me know. However, if you like the video, I make similar videos every day. I will be happy if you subscribe. Anyway, I enjoyed playing your game.

Just played and finished it!  I really liked the art on the player and the gun, the particles coming from the gun are really cool!
