Because of the jam's concept, I had to make a game without any words. I was reading the book The Martian so I felt inspired to make a game about mars (also jam theme was Mankind). Since there's a time difference between mars and earth (because of distance) people on earth used to send commands batch by batch and rover executed them. This game is about the same idea but with a time limit twist. It's a fast-paced puzzle game which you have to make rover move to top of the screen without falling to quicksand. It's made for Zero Words Jam and second place in Fun category. You can play it on your browser rightnow.
