This game is made within the second week of the game jam Chill Jam 12. The game is inspired by the T-rex game on Chrome. The rover is based on the NASA Perseverance rover

All picture assets & SFX are made by me, with the story illustrations made within the last day of the jam (except for Caelus)

The font is Efforts Pro, from Nokia Jam Resources

Caelus design & artwork by Clarinarth: https://www.instagram.com/clarinarth

The BGM is Pulsar from opengameart.org

The game features are developed for the desktop first, then gradually added to the web version. This is because how QBJS is implemented differently than QB64, so expect bugs and/or performance issues when running the web version.

Update 16-02-2025: I disabled the web version, but left it as downloadable

Known issues with QBJS 0.9.1

• _SetAlpha isn't supported
• _SndVol has a typo in the transpiler, so all sounds are always in full volume
• After the window/tab is minimised, the sprites move too fast
