Lost
A downloadable game for Windows
Gameplay
Your lost in space. Nothing around you except things trying to stop you making it home. Making it to earth is your only goal. Asteroids and aliens are the only thing in your path. On your journey home you will pass different planets and other space objects.
Controls
The game is fully playable using only the mouse. Your rocket will follow the mouse. However in the first few levels if you are struggling press E for a full overview of the level.
Why was the game made?
I participated in the two button game jam. In the jam you had to make a game playable using only two buttons there was no theme so you could make whatever you wanted as long as it followed that restriction.

This game is nice! I really like the two button concept because it makes the controls very simple. I enjoyed exploring this dark space even if I got lost plenty of times. I love the lighting effects of the rocket, they are quite cool!
Thanks glad you liked it!
Pretty good would like to see some more levels in the future!
Thnaks for playing i appreciate it
Hello! I'll be playing Lost today on stream along with several other games from the 2 Buttons Jam at 3:30pm EST. I'll be talking about any interesting design decisions as I play, and suggesting improvements if any come to mind. Please feel free to join me live, it'll be extra fun to chat together about your game while playing it :)
I like it! The limited view almost gave it a horror vibe once the aliens showed up. There is a little issue with the sound not looping properly for the rocket but other than that I had no complaints.
I'm glad you like it I will sort out the sound effect, Thanks for playing!
Cool game, nice and simple and relaxing. Liked how you stole the map away from the player in the last levels =P keep up the great work!!! Your game starts at 7:55 in the video
Thanks for playing I didn't want the game to be too easy so I removed it after a few levels. Iam glad you enjoyed it!
Side note you make a lot of cool games, you work as a team or solo development? What game software do you use? I'm currently using Unity and Unreal
I use Unity and c# for most of my games i create them myself however I have only ever created one game so far with a team.
Nice! I've made plenty of prototypes in unreal and unity using blueprints, java and C# but I need to focus on one game and just release it, my game is gonna be a standard platformer but just working on my custom anims and stuff. Your stuff is awesome though
Cool i would love to see the game when it is finished!
Good game my friend, nice work. I noticed at Level 4 or 5 where the map doesn't work, you can slip past the rocks and off the level completely, north and south. The game would be cool if it had a fuel system and timer, possibly a high scoring system where you have to get to earth as fast as possible, maybe some collectable score multipliers that double the score. Looks great and works well, like the particle system and the graphics.
Thanks for checking it out I appreciate it. I will have a look at level 4 and 5 and see if I can fix it. Those are some cool ideas and I might add them to spice up the gameplay!
It's a nice game. I think you could have added time restraints like fuel to make it more challenging to play. Good job on the game, nonetheless!
Thanks I think that is a cool idea!
This game was fun but i think some screenshake would have been cool !
