Dyson Defense Division - Winter 2025 Flowjam 🌌

The Defense Division is in need of recruits, and they hired you, Dyson.

Dyson Defense Division :milky_way:

This is my is my 2025 Winter Flowjam Submission. Super happy to get it done in time, and the name is just a funny little easter egg (DDD, I think you’ll get the joke when you play).


Controls

  1. WASD to move
  2. Arrow Keys to look around
  3. [SPACE] to attack (when you have a gun, make sure to go to the Alien Collection once you complete the first level)
  4. [R] to heal, 3 uses (needs to be unlocked first, again check Alien Collection after level 2)

If you have any questions lmk, please do not spoil the game for anyone else!


Leaderboard

Yes there is a leaderboard! Your score is the total between every level, and you’ll gain extra points for complete the objectives for that planet. (To see the objective, when you click a planet, there should be a yellow square with a “!” mark on it)


Enjoy the game, I’m super happy I have a jam game that I finally feel like I finished on time

My god dude that reveal when you stepped backwards and realized. Hooly guacamole. The gameplay could have had more variety/been more interesting but still awesome submission, unlike anything I’ve played :slight_smile:

This is really cool, I like the feel of the game. If it were a bit darker I would think it would have been a horror game. Would’ve liked a mini-map so I have an idea of where I am in the map.

Thank you everyone for playing the game and liking it enough to win! I know it’s not perfect, maybe not even great, but I’ll try and improve the game even more to make it definitively worth the title.
