Sp(ace)
I decided to make a game for Rainbow Jam at the last minute, so here's my first attempt at a Bitsy game, made in a few hours over the course of two days. At this time it's just the first of three stages of the game. I won't be able to finish the full thing by the deadline in an hour and a half, but this is enough for now to get an idea of what the game is trying to say.
This game is a lot about exploring to discover the story, so I won't spoil it for you. I'll just say that it's a story about being asexual in space, and about finding community and... space to be yourself.

neat
This is a very interesting game it kind of reminds me of the original Castle Wolfenstein games. I like how it explores the lives of Asexual people I'm not ace myself I'm an AroPan Enby but I still think it's nice. However, I am having trouble figuring out what I am supposed to do and where I am supposed to go.
I'm not much of a gamer, but this was incredibly fun to play! In terms of what happens next, I would love to know if Juan's partner is on board with raising a family on terra or even having kids. I imagine maybe a conversation between Juan and his partner about what will happen in the next couple of months or at least get a better glimpse of their emotions!
I've never played a game like this before, it was so cool! I loved the narrative element that runs throughout it. In terms of what happens next, I imagine maybe we get to meet some of the other "unfruitfuls" or maybe Juan and Una? I would be curious to read dialogue.
this game was so lovely to play! once I reached the end, I was hoping for the opportunity to talk more with the other characters (especially Alice!) and build our relationships. I wanted the opportunity to expand upon the alternative relationships, kinship, and community the characters desire :)
this was awesome! What I imagine myself doing next would be to go back and talk to everyone else who inhabits this space as they all seem super interesting and diverse. Looks like these are some great friends to be present with and otherwise I would be pretty lonely in that compressed room all by myself.
This is an awesome game! Firstly I could not find the secret entry lol but it was amazing when finding it leads to a whole different world! I wonder why I'd need a crowbar to open the entry to see people I've already met. It seems like everytime I get to meet them I would need to take a whole adventure for it. But I guess it'll add more fun to this limited space on the ship so I love it! Though it is always fun to talk to people in games, but as of being Kenna, I'd like to imagine myself going back to my room, getting some food, watching the stars fly, taking a nap, and dreaming something peaceful. It's full of tranquility and peace. I really enjoyed it! Thank you!
What a cool game! I'm imagining what I would do next: I'd like to hang out with Alice, Kevin, Arjun, and Ha-Yoon and then crawl back into my room and dance because the New Dawn can't stop me from doing that.
This has been such an enjoyable experience! I look forward to seeing more in the future. I thought it was very powerful how even through the game, you can feel the frustration of being confined and told what you can/cannot do. Every time I came to a window/door only to be met with a message informing me that I can't go there now, it really emphasized this feeling. I can imagine myself going back to my room and sitting, just watching the stars as the ship passed by and wondering if I would ever be able to behold another sight. After a while I image that I would feel too confined being in that room that I've been trapped in for my entire life, so I'd try to find a way to discover new parts of the ship, and to find a way around the barriers that are preventing me from doing so.
what a cute n cool game so far! this reminded me to be grateful towards the little freedoms I have the luxury of experiencing in my day to day. I can't believe this only took you a few hours to make and I am very excited to see the journeys that will come next! I can imagine crawling through the vents further away from my room and exploring the rest of the ship, seeing if I could find any other friends like Ha-Yoon, Alice, Kevin, and Arjun.
so simple, so mundane, yet redefining what is the new mundane. i would sit and reflect, maybe look at the stars. i love that in this little life I live now, I get to choose what I want for life partners.
this was lovely! hoping to see more. while i am ever so curious about the roommates and school and how this place functions, i think if i were kenna i would sit on the cushion and chat with alice for a while. everyone was doing Tasks but seemed like she wanted to chat and a good time to decompress
this is so extremely cool and delightful. picking up tools makes me imagine building things - and i would be so excited to see what can be built in this world!
Really cute game so far! Can't wait to see what it becomes!
