The Abandoned Planet 4+

Enjoying the game - can’t use raft!

I am really enjoying this game, and have been waiting forever after finishing Dexter for you to come out with something else. But I’m at the point I need to place the raft in the water, and I won’t let me anywhere on that screen. I’m not sure if it’s a glitch or I’m really not putting the raft in the right place, but I have clicked all in the water, all on the dock, and even everywhere on the land to no avail (yes while dragging the raft). Can you help?

ETA: Thanks for your helpful responses! I had time to follow your suggestions last night and was able to catch up to where I was and now everything is working perfectly. Thank you so much for your attentiveness and helpfulness! I am very much enjoying the game, and your dedication to your players and direct connection to ensuring they have a good experience playing it makes me want to give you ten stars. Thank you so very much!

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the review. We've been chatting back and forth via email, and since the game updated with a bug fix while you were in Act 3, you will have to start Act 3 over again. You can do this by returning to the Main Menu, selecting "Jump to Act", and then select Act 3. Since you already know how to solve those puzzles, it shouldn't take much time to get back to where you were. I apologize for the issue. I hope this gets you back on track! - Jeremy

Enjoyable and Calming

Fun and inventive game with a charming heroine and a cool world to explore with lots of interesting elements to it. The puzzles feel fresh and enjoyable to figure out, mild difficulty but with some really fun aha moments when you figure out how disparate elements work together. I wrote clue notes in a notebook for the first time in a long time since this game doesn’t have an in-game camera, but I enjoyed that as a change of pace. I love a low-anxiety puzzle adventure with lots of places to explore, a storyline, a notebook to decode, and a brain teaser feel, and this game fit the bill.

My only caveat is that the pixelated artwork was rough on the eyes after a while on the iPad screen, and that the ending was out of kilter with the rest of it.

Phenomenal!✨

I wished I had played this on Steam instead, but regardless, this was amazing! The music, the art, the direction, the plot, the puzzles…. Incredible! And you did most of this by yourself? I was able to understand a lot of the world without having it explained to me, and I feel so bad for the Alien :( I totally called the twist at the end, but it was still crazy! Also, did you really make all the art in Aesprite? That’s awesome 😭

Absolutely love this game and can tell it came from a place of passion. Better storytelling and writing than in some recent triple A games 💀

Except some fan art from me soon! Hehe

Thank you! 💙✨
