Created for Global Game Jam 2026!

About:

You have crash landed on an alien planet called Earth, and the planet's medieval population has stolen parts of your ship! You cannot breathe the local atmosphere and your air supplies are low - you have 1 minute to live. Use masks to manipulate the local population to find your ship's missing parts, and hopefully return home! When your air runs out, your ship's computer will reset time to give you another chance.

Great job Rob, did you do this by yourself apart from the sounds?
