THE GOOD:
+I cracked up multiple times, especially at the ending
+See the bad, but in general I enjoyed the battles. having to self-heal LR added a bit extra tension
+The dungeons never outstayed their welcome

THE BAD:
-I had to grind out 2 levels (despite not skipping anything) to L18 before i could beat the final boss. booooring, the battles aren't that fun at the end because you just spam plasma slicer and LR's beam cannon nuke
-a handful of typos, at the very least there's an unnecessary apostrophe in the ending scene
-pretty darn short -- which is TOTALLY FINE for a contest, but if this were a proper game it loses some stars because it would feel a bit too rushed. and i don't really like to rate things within confines because it makes the shitty 0-5 rating even worse to try to comprehend...
-the bed wasn't a space bed. c'mon.

THE SPACE:
everything but the bed. would be an A+ but you get an A
kinda weird that you only get ONE fresh water to sell for a paltry bit of cash in the whole game, unless i missed something?

overall i totally recommend it to people who want to laugh for 1.5-2 hours!

- The battle backgrounds change in the world map, that's cool, even if some of them don't have much to do with the setting, still great considering the limitations.
- I'm amazed at how good the dialog is for such a short time frame, high quality.
- The colony looked too "motionless" since most of the NPCs didn't move from the same spot, It's hard to make NPCs move fluidly enough for the player to keep track of them, but stationary NPCs just seemed boring to me.
- Encourages exploration! :D Just the fact that just about everthing is examinable is cool, plus a lot of the descriptions were fun.
- The colony lacked graphical details outside the buildings, this was probably because you used open buildings and thus had less different tiles to work with, but I'll still mention this.
- Inside the plant, from the upper level I'm able to examine pots and boxes in a lower level, per example the boxes directly north of me as I enter the plant, I should have to go down there to examine those.
- The same thing happens with battles, I can engage an enemy on a different ground level, but this would be hard to fix.
- I found LR-388 multi-target skills too strong, since a lot of enemies were vulnerable to these elements it made a lot of random battles too easy.
- Awesome enemy names! ...and names in general!
- The SPACE CHESTS contained very few Creds, in the West Cave I got 200 and 120 Creds from chests, I was getting that and sometimes more from the battles there, these chests were underwhelming.
- This is a small nitpick but the "Weapon, Armour, Item" signs outside the shop could be in the same order as the merchants selling the respective wares (Item, Weapon, Armour) :P
- I got this Phantasy Star IV vibe from the game, the way you had to find skills and obviously the game atmosphere. I also got a SaGa vibe since I had to use items to increase the HP/MP of the robot and due to the different character traits. A bit of Shadow Hearts too.
These are good things, BTW!
- I beat the game at level 18, I didn't grind, I found the battles well balanced, the story was well written and interessting, the story/dialog/text inside the ship is the kind of stuff imagination is made of, I didn't particularly like the villain since he only appears twice and lacked development, wait, what the hell am I talking about? ..."ONE WEEK"! So it's cool and works great in the end.
- The title screen is very simple but looks good, bonus points for using the RPG Maker logo that comes with each default title image.
- I used 3 healing items throughout the game, I didn't need to use any other healing items except for the last battle (in that one I used SP/HP/status healing items, a lot), I never had to use a reviving item or skill, do what you will about this piece of feedback.
- Don't know if you did this on purpose but you used the wrong charset for Maelyn at the end of the game.
- In the Greenshell 3 intro (planet panorama map) it would sound better if the music fades in before teleporting into the ship.
- So you even managed to make some custom animations!? How did... What the... Time! Do you use it differently?
- Improving each character felt great, I liked finding new skills and status increasing items for my robot!
- The overall presentation of the game was well thought out, the intro and credits, the ending using somewhat "still images", good use of panoramas (lucky you there's plenty of RTP space stuff going around :P ) and RTP music.
- The way you mapped the world map made it look so compact and functional.
- All in all it's very enjoyable, I don't have much feedback to give since most stuff was spot on.
Everything is so well fleshed out! For the time frame it really is an achievement.
I don't wanna exaggerate with all this positive feedback, but great work unity! :D
