Rama

Game loosely based on Arthur C. Clarke´s Rendezvous with Rama made for Bratislava Gam Jam 2021.

The Rama is a mysterious alien starship headed towards our solar system detected by the astronomers in  2131. The solar survey vessel Endeavour is sent to study Rama, as it is the only ship close enough to do so in the brief period Rama will spend in the Solar System. Endeavour manages to rendezvous with Rama one month after it first comes to Earth's attention, when the alien ship is already inside Venus's orbit. 

Your are an explorer from Endeavour sent to Rama to gather samples which will hopefully help discover more about the unknown intelligence - so called Ramans and at the same time face hidden dangers. Your time is limited because when Rama reaches perihelion and utilizes the Sun's gravitational field, it will fly away from the Solar System towards an unknown interstallar destination.

Game objectives and controls:

• collect samples
• find the plant - possibly only truly living organism inside Rama
• avoid / kill alien crab biots

• press spacebar to start the game
• move around using arrows
• jump by pressing spacebar

The game consists of three levels because: "The Ramans do everything in threes."
