this is my sad little game about death.
controls
← → walk around on planet (X) interact with things, talk to people HOLD (O) hold breath, float away, escape tedious conversations ↑ ↓ ← → fly around |
on a gamepad (O) and (X) will be buttons 1 and 2
on keyboard (O) and (X) are Z and X for qwerty keyboards.
NOTE: on other keyboard layouts, (O) and (X) will be next to your left shift key
objective
well that's really the question i'm asking you in this game.
explore.

inspiration
i've been inspired by the charm of little planets, and the book "the little prince." i started making this during a time when death was making itself present in my life in many ways, but especially through the loss of my beloved corgi hoggle.
what is the meaning of all this? is everything meaningless? is everything beautiful and poignant? how will we know we've lived well? is that even a thing?
Awesome piece of work!!! Great job! A save option would be appreciated.
The sensation of floating through a starfield is very well done. Great li'l game.
Really cute game. It really feels like a playable version of "The Little Prince" novel, which makes more enjoyable for me, at least...
this might just be a me problem, but my O key is not working at all? this could be a bug.
@Luminion_ no it's not just you! it's confusing. pico8's (O) is the "circle" button, on a keyboard this is Z for a qwerty keyboard.
Well...that earth-like planet is just like........................ nevermind
I love this. It doesn't have to have a big objective or meaning, it's just interesting, and its message is whatever someone makes of the game.
So many little things are done cleverly (like holding breath to leave a planet, star streams to guide players, music fading, engaging character convos, etc.), it really inspires me. Thanks for putting this out there!
This is such a lovely melancholic gem, gorgeous.
Thank you so much for the wonderful journey.
Kudos and shine on...
Good game. I liked the exploration, the interactions with npcs, and the conversational approach to how we deal with death / spend our remaining time on earth.
