Controls:
WASD and Space to Jump
or
Arrow Keys and Up arrow to Jump
E or Enter to interact/take things around you
You use the Jetpack by holding down Space or Up arrow while you're jumping/in the air.
Mouse to aim and throw various throw-ables.
We couldn't test the linux version, but we hope it works!
"The Screen Space" is a... Platformer, text adventure, puzzle, interactive experience.... thing. We didn't get enough time to fine tune everything or do everything we wanted, but I guess it's the same for everyone.
Make sure to watch the ending :)
We had fun recording sounds with a mic this time.
Hope people enjoy it and we're looking forward to playing other LD games once we sleep for at least 12 hours :P

Very well done. Played into the theme very well. I was stuck on the jetpack. Sometimes the jetpack worked but was not sure why and could never replicate it again.
I love the humor the dialogue. Such a beautiful game, excellent work.
Wow, this was amazing! Funny story, neat puzzles (the rock one in particular was really cool), and awesome graphics and animations - especially at the end. Great job!
@digibody
Keep tapping jump before you fall, it only works when you are ascending.
I see where you were going with this but starting with hard to read unskipable narrative threw me off almost immediately.
I guess that could be the reason why I did not manage to get the most out of it. Nice graphics though.
Wow... Such an amazing game! Great story, music and content!
5/5 stars! Best game I've played so far from LD31!
Congratulations guys!
@KrisDevelopment Yeah, it wasn't exactly a design choice, more like we didn't have time to implement skipping the text (or at least, being able to fast forward it), so I understand your pain.
It was on our todo list but in the panic of the last day and with some issues that arose we didn't get around to doing it. We'll probably do a post jam version at some point.
In any case, thanks everyone for the comments :D
Beautiful, deep game. Amazing story, amazing arts and power message that it delivers. Top 10 of LD 31 for easy
Wow, great take on the theme!
Loved the music and how light hearted everything felt.
I really liked it. Some of the writing was a little on the nose. Just felt a little too self aware but I liked the theme you employed. The art is well done and the puzzles were well designed. Wish I didn't have to go back to the old man multiple times to figure out what to do with the bucket. Excellent job!
@masterhyjinx Cheers :D
My writing is in general a bit direct and self-aware and meta, so with the concept we had I probably went a bit overboard :)
With the general light-heartedness of everything I was hoping it would come off as silly/charming.
About the bucket, I think there are a couple more hints scattered around (the villagers have a random chance to give you a hint, and if you try to get rocks twice, there is another hint there), but yeah the old man does give you the more direct instructions.
I'm amazed! Really good game. Nailed it in pretty much every category. Perfect usage of the theme, quite a bit of humour, beautiful graphics, nice audio, fun to play - what else could you possibly ask for in a LD game? :)
I was pleasantly surprised. :)
Some bits I found frustrating, like talking to towns people over and over by accident, and the text adventure style bit was tedious after a while. (Gotta get through a lot of games, so time I'm generally impatient, but I liked the game so I stuck with it.)
Ending was really good. Thank you for the experience! :D
What a beautiful game and nice ending!:D You really did a great job for a LD jam entry! :)
This is one of the best games I've played! It's a really neat way to approach the theme, the graphics are superb, and the audio is awesome. The sense of humor in this game is really cool too, and the whole thing just works. Great job!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
amazing graphics!
