Aug 1 00:09:35 Leaf Runner ♥ 1 Hi David, Downloaded and played through the game. Gave you a rating, so hopefully that helps you out. Feedback: The controls dont feel quite right to me. Left and right in particular seem super over sensitive. Also, it seems like even sitting still somtimes if I hit left or right it would start me going in that direction and turning a bit even though I was sitting still. I liked that there were two things going on with the driving and the buying and selling but I didnt really understand how the two were linked from the gameplay. It seemed like anywhere I stopped I could buy / sell and sometimes the prices were not favorable to sell. I pulled in for gas to experience the cop scenario and I waited, hearing the sirens, for the cop to pull up and get me. I was assuming I was going to get chased or something and I could outrun them, but it seems like you get a certain amount of time to charge and thats it. That was my perception at least. I waited too long and got BUSTED without ever seeing a cop car. Sound effects were fine, no big surprises there. Hope those comments and review were helpful. This is my first time completing a) a game and b) a game JAM, so I am trying to comment and review as many people as I can.
Aug 1 22:07:05 21h 57m No Sorcerer's Sky ♥ 2 As others have said, I couldnt figure out what to do. I saw that clicking on parts of the ship got you into an upgrade window, and that the upgrade cost a certain amount of materials, but I didnt know how many materials I had or how to get more. I think the graphics and sound were very good for a jam. The UI in general was really good. I just didnt know what to do for the gameplay.
Aug 2 03:19:57 5h 12m Automated Explorer ♥ 2 Wow, I really think you got a lot done in the time available. As many others have said I think the graphics and audio were very coherent for the style you were going for and look very cool. I like the zelda screen switch mechanic, very nice. I liked that you had multiple drones but after a few tries I couldnt figure out how to get the 3rd drone unlocked. The idea of exploration is directly at odds with the theme of running out of power, so it was hard to buckle in and feel free to explore and do the bullet puzzles with the constant threat of (quickly) running out of power. Some people need / want that stress and others dont, guess it ultimately depends on what youre going for. Just something to think about. Thanks for submitting a cool game!
