About Envoy
Envoy is a short physics based spaceflight game where you have been created by a monolith for the sole purpose of retrieving "force crystals" to it. Evade increasingly aggressive locals, utilize special abilities, all to complete your mission.
Your sole and only purpose is to deliver force crystals back to a monolith. Weave and dodge around asteroids by utilizing realistic space physics, and have your flight somewhat regulated by a slight drag force applied when going too fast.
You are not alone on your mission, and not in a good way. For some reason, locals don't want you to complete your mission and will do their best to stop you. The further you progress and longer you take, the more aggressive ships they'll send, ranging from police ships to military battleships.
As you retrieve force crystals, you will unlock new abilities to utilize to make your mission easier. You can use them to outwit the locals, avoid an asteroid collision, or just accelerate the speed of your mission.
Once the mission is complete, you have only one objective: survive. Utilize abilities and the skills you have learned to fight even more aggressive locals, as they throw their most powerful forces your way.
Envoy was made for the summer flowjam 2023 game jam, and is a free game available on the web.

Interesting concept and nice art style, but a little frustrating to play. Some of the abilities aren't very intuitive, and the enemies bunch up way too much. Also, it's not clear at all what you're supposed to do once you collect all the crystals, not sure if it's a timer that you have to wait out, but the game kind of lost its purpose after that. Also the ship accelerates WAY too fast, making it impossible to dodge the asteroids. But if you don't accelerate, you'll get killed by the enemy ships. One last thing, not sure if this is just a Mac OS problem, but I couldn't get the game to fill the whole screen. When I entered full screen, the game would just move to the top left corner in the same size. Can't be too mad since it's free though, worth spending 10-20 minutes on.1 found this helpful

cool short game
It is very short, I finished it under 15 minutes and spent the remaining 25 minutes just flying around enjoying the sprites and the mechanics. The game doesn't tell you it's endless, after collecting the 5 elements nothing new happens and that's just it. So that's one critic. The gameplay is very fun, the flight mechanic is smooth and the powers pretty (music's awsome) Now let's get to the bad points: I felt like the UI was a bit confusing it isn't very clear the purpose of some buttons and there a lot of information without uses in the beginning which didn't helped. The ennemies are very straight forward running toward you in a straight line and stacking themselves in clusters, but knowing the game was made in a jam under restricted time, I can't do anything but congratulate the developers! Especially for art & visual
