https://youtu.be/lWSUY-NNPmE Neat idea, poor execution of gameplay mechanics leaves far too many gaps in quality to recommend for the elements that do work.
a short, sweet experience that leaves room for speculation. here's hoping that it will indeed be continued!

[h1]冗長な気がする[/h1] 月面探査ロボットとなってミッションをこなすゲーム。会話パートと車やバイクでひっくり返らないように走るようなタイプのゲーム部分からなっている様子。わりと使うキーであるEの隣のRにリスポーンが割り当てられているので、最初にセッティングで変更がおすすめ。充電しようとソーラーパネルを伸ばそうと思ったら誤操作ではじめから、の可能性が待っている。また、左右移動をAD移動に変更しておいたほうが良いかもしれない。 プレイしてみると思ったのと違う感じだったが、全体的に冗長な印象。会話パートもいちいち指定箇所をクリックせねばならず、移動パートも月面ゆえ同じような風景であり、リスポーン時の戻しっぷりがだるい。アクション要素があるならまだなんとかなるが基本的には進むだけなので賽の河原感があった。 個人的にはおすすめしない。
Me gusto bastante, la historia, la música, el dibujo; capaz si debería mejorarse el tema del gameplay ya que si da bastante floje el tema de estar haciendo respawn cada vez que se termina de cabeza, pero yo creo que después de unos minutos empiezas a calcular mejor las físicas y controlarlo mejor. No se que mas aportar, creí que seria un tanto aburridor pero hasta me tuvo en tensión por varios momentos, espero puedan continuar la historia y traducirlo al español :D

Ok but what happened???
Great game excited to see more :3
What Happened On The Moon is a free and short 2D adventure/mystery game, or rather a prologue/first chapter of a longer game to come, maybe. It mainly consists of driving (or frustratingly moving obstacles, keeping the vehicle's batteries topped up, and trying to drive) a lunar vehicle across the Moon's surface to investigate what triggered a proximity alert. Judging by the update messages, I've fortunately played a simplified version of the original game with more checkpoints, less difficulty in traversing the terrain, and much less back-tracking; I'm pretty certain that I would have not recommended the original game. As I feel that the story and the graphics (particularly early on) are much more appealing than the actual gameplay - i.e. the game could have been better done as a visq5ual novel, perhaps - I can only give a lukewarm recommendation for this updated version in the hope that the story continues in a later update or in another game.
Streamed this to my friend and had a lot of fun over a 1.3h playthrough! Brought the comms relay all the way back to the landing zone :) It would've been so fun if you were able to throw items with force, but that aside, I wouldn't have minded paying at least 2 bucks for this game. To be continued!
