Escape From Mars

Escape From Mars is a Java-based simulation game. You play as an astronaut who has to escape from Mars before the alien boss triggers his ultimate weapon. If you fail to escape, the weapon will have an unexpected side-effect and you will be caught in a time look. Depending on the location you are in, there are a number of actions available. These actions may be further limited by previously performed actions. However, there is no artificially imposed limitation, thus adding to the realistic nature of the game.

In order to escape you must repair the rocket and fuel it. For fueling you have two options: a nearby fuel supply, within walking distance, and a larger far away fuel supply, requiring travel by rover. You must take into account that your actions require oxygen and you cannot go without eating. Therefore, you should periodically return to base and replenish the air supply as well as eat.

The game makes use of AI-generated images. As far as I knew when writing the game, this was the first game created with only AI-generated images. However, as one of the commenters pointed out, there was at least one other game using AI-only images (https://itch.io/jam/mini-jam-112-chrono/rate/1653683). Thanks for helping me identify another game with AI-only images :)

The game engine is developed by me and was previously used in creating Jenna's Virtual Life. Check it out here: https://fairyhataka.itch.io/jennas-virtual-life

The game was developed for the game jam "Mini Jam 113: Final Boss" https://itch.io/jam/mini-jam-113-final-boss
