3 optional side quests
50 Meaningful, fulfilling conversations
10 000 words of dialogue (out of which 81 is swearing)
When you're not busy fighting for your life, why not talk with several charming (and charmless) lizards inhabiting the Lekrad Orbital Platform and the nearby space to find out what they need and learn about your job, the sector, and yourself?
Gain experience through fighting and exploring
Skill tree with 8 upgrades, each with a unique cut-scene*
Repair your ship
Oh no! Are the enemies coming in greater numbers and stronger? Adapt! Upgrade your spaceship's speed, agility, and damage, and unlock unique abilities (like impact-assisted asteroid redirection).
*cut-scenes may be skipped but it'll make the lizard sad :c (unless you're in a hurry)
Fly around and scan objects to gain experience and information
Scan the sector to find Points of Interest
Scan the planet to map it and find anomalies
A small part of the entire universe is in your hands! Your ship is equipped with several scanners, which let you gain information about objects around you, as well as scan the sector to discover Points of Interest, which hold, well, interesting things.
Beware though! Sending out signals might attract some unwanted attention.
About
This game, music, and most other assets were made by webik150. Zero Impact was created as my diploma project at the Department of Game Design at FAMU to experiment with intuitive rhythm gameplay.
