You're stranded on a moon colony. You need to work harvesting trigle crystals, a plant-mineral hybrid which grows on this moon's caves. Your parents left a escape pod hidden somewhere, and if only you could find the pieces of the key to it, maybe you could escape this moon and search for them.

Notes:

  • You can use your home to rest - it makes some crops grow again, but it will cost a few credits.
  • If you run out of Oxygen (O2) or fall from the cave you'll drop all the trigle you were carrying. If you go back the place where you fainted you can find some of it on a bundle (but if you faint again they will be gone)
  • On the web emulator you can play the previous versions by opening the right-side drawer; by default it runs the latest version.

Controls:

A: Jump, interact with map and shop (F key on the embedded emulator)

B: Harvest, pick up key piece, grab rope (D key on the embedded emulator).

Updates:

2023-01-27:

1.1.0 - Post-jam version, with some new art, larger caves, fuel mechanic (each jetpack jump consumes 1 fuel unit, trigle can be used to make fuel), more clear and less exploitable rent mechanic.

2023-01-09:

1.0.1 - rebalanced shop prices (it was almost impossible to get the jetpack), added missing Home sfx.

1.0.2 - previous fix missed the increase in trigle's value.

the idea is quite cool, but i felt a little lack of challenge, first i couldnt figureout what to do but hey every nes game does that lmao, but then it was very fun just collecting the tringles and selling them, and when i bought the jetpack it was very satisfying that i could now access areas that were unaccessable before, couple that with great music and wooow the fact it runs on an ACTUAL NES is just *mindblown*,

however a little bit more challenge would have been good, gret game and i had a ton of fun playing it
