I feel like the chill atmosphere of the game is severely dampened by the inability to charge in the sun. The coupled impending doom of running out of battery, and the clunky reversing, and random clipping through rocks makes this game more stressful than I think it was intended to be.

hello, is there any chance you can open source this? i'd love to see how you did this in unity. thanks.

Hi there ! :)
I loved your game and included it in my LD50 reviews :

Congratulations the visuals are stunning !

Hii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback about it, hopefully it is useful to you ^^.

-The main concept of the game is quite good and relaxing.

-I like the gameplay mechanics and the idea of exploring the map in order to expand them.

-The music is quite nice (I had to mute it for copyright issues) and helps a lot to the immersion aspect of the game.

-I've noticed that you can spawn and get kind of softlocked at the spawning area, adding a key for respawn could help to solve it :)

Hopefully this is useful to you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)

Regards

Love the game, In a love hate relationship with the controls. It feels like for me the sensitivity is a bit too high. If there was a possible way to adjust that within the game that would make this a flawless masterpiece! 9/10

very cool game

Really cute and pretty, good progression on the level design (up to where I managed to reach).

But the controls made me quit. Having to control the rover and the camera at the same time is a frustration point not fitting with the nice chill music. Especially when trapped in tight spaces. I found myself all the time expecting to control the wheels with the keys. Reversing is a brain twister.

Also, after finding the booster I realized the rover model front and back are very similar.

Both times I played I quit after finding the happy ball chilling.

Following in case you update, I'd like it to try again!
