SCOUT



They give you medicine when you're in hypersleep so you don't dream. It's a one-man mission. The longest ever attempted. Science must march onwards.



Scout is the story of a lonely astronaut on the mission of a lifetime. This top-secret expedition requires absolute commitment, every order coming from a set of mysterious instructions. So the Scout follows the orders. No matter the uncertainty, the mission must come first.

Arrow keys to move. Space to interact.

Featuring:
-Pixels
-Space
-Four whole colors

Ooo, I love the palette.

Second. I also like the retro styling. The Zephyr looks something from an old school Atari game and the hero looks cool as well. I like it!

Snake

Asslover88, stay on topic, please.

I really like the palette though, and I'm not sorry, Snake.
Is this a keyboard controlled game?

Hush, Snake. Get back to work on your game! We're all counting on you!  ;)

Ghost

This brings back memories of a time where you seriously owned the neighbourhood with an Atari console. Looks cool indeed- I love that subtle shadow-effect on the character.

Snake

All of a sudden the Bake Sale is relying on me? Hogwash. You stay on topic too, you dancing cow (and try to resist replying to Ghost's comment about the Atari, I know it's hard, but you must).

Game looks great, by the way, ddq.

Can't... resist... Atari... memories... flooding back.... Watching... Jason of Star Command... and then... playing Defender... Count Chocula... I can... practically taste it...

arrow-keys to move and space to interact sounds to me like that  ::)



But only FOUR colors sounds to me like self mortification
but as the screenies show, everything is possible!
Well done -

Annie Android did it with two colours (though there were shades of each). And to kick the nostalgia again: Original GameBoy.

[edit for Ponch]
All the Bake Sale threads are getting me confuddled. I spoke in TONGUES just there. Now translated.

Annie Android hatte zwei Farben (allerdings hatte jede noch ein paar Schattierungen)- Orange und Blau.

Hmmm. Let me take a pass at this...

"Annie Android's hat swiped for Ben (allergies [to the] hat Jed [Clampett?] nocked on par [with] Jager Meister) - Orange and [Summer] Glau (which are the new flavors of Jager, I'm assuming)."

How'd I do?  :=

Edit for Ghost: I was just kidding around. Based on no evidence whatsoever, I just assumed my German was flawless and wanted to flaunt my obvious mastery of languages. ;)

Looks good, Mr. Wellman.  I am intrigued by this four colour business...should be interesting!

ThreeOhFour

Haha oh man lowest res ever and I like it.

Also hooray for 4 colour palettes! Yours looks a lot saner than any of my 4 colour experiments  8)

Ilyich

Hey, those are some adorable pixels! I like my pixels like I like my women - rectangular and on a computer screen!

tzachs

Respect for having only 4 colours and still having something that looks nice and readable.
And also respect for being the only (so far) non adventure game of the bunch.
And also #2, the back story sounds interesting, I hope you will flesh it out more...
