OH GOD! This game is crazy good!

zuieni 2013-04-30 04:43

I played for hours :p took some time to understand what to do but I manage to get world domination.

Freaking good as soon as you get it (took me some time).

Wow this game sure was polished. I like the attention to the different categories of the voting - it had it all.
This is definitely something you can beat after a few minutes. Good job!

Blow up ludum dare hq eh? 5 stars on humor! :D
This has to be my favorite ludum dare entry so far. The mechanics are fun, and the graphical style is simply amazing.

The learning curve was a bit steep though,

I found it so hard to understand what was going on - thought I got it then rooms started overheating and I couldn't work out why. When the rooms exploded and went static repairing didn't seem to do anything.

The graphics, especially the laser movie, look awesome.

And i was thinking my game was polished! God, this is gooooood!

So, so good.

Really love this game; I'm terrible at it, but there's something about it that I keep coming back and trying to get better. Great job!

matthias_zarzecki 2013-05-03 20:37

Well, that is amazing.

Love the heaygonal art-style. Colors are great too. Music fits nicely, and the boffin adivsing you is great :D

It's very hard to figure out what to do, though. The systems are somewhat complex, adn not everything gives direct feedback.

Still, awesome work!

Very very cool game (and cool here dont makes fun room work less =D), very well crafted and suited for theme. On top 10 games of LD26 for no doubt!

Awesome game. Graphics, Sound and Story are perfect. But the gameplay does become a bit repetitive.

joe40001 2013-05-07 01:47

Very cool game. Few comments:
1. It felt virtually impossible to recover when the capacitor array blew, the fact it switches all the capacitors to blue when it goes is pretty harsh.
2. Figuring out what exactly to do is a little tricky I'd encourage you to do something so that I don't feel penalized for reading the instructional text early on, the text is great and informative but it's hard to find the time to read it when the game kinda leaps in head first.
3. A few things were unclear, like how close I was to being able to access the next satellite, is it based on whether the room is red or whether it's been red (working for a while) or what?
4. Maybe this has something to do with the command center or something but it felt like between satellite 1 and 2 my options went up a ton, was this intentional?

I'm only going into so much detail because the game is otherwise perfect. Seriously this is the best game I've seen of this team size or smaller for LD26, maybe the best overall. Great game, simple mechanics, quite fun. 5/5

Wow! Looks amazing! Plays great! Nice job!

zappi 2013-05-07 16:44

Brilliant look, guys! Gameplay is quite complex if you don't read instructions like me, but text explains a lot.

recursor 2013-05-07 20:45

This is the opposite of the theme, but it is so much fun!

minionstudios 2013-05-08 03:17

Awesome. Just awesome. The amount of foresight and structure needed to create a game as refined and thoroughly complex as this... Was it a team of ten? High points from me!

sparkleswirl 2013-05-08 03:53

Okay. Best game in jam, hands down.

Jeremias 2013-05-08 15:44

Very nice and polished interface. Funny game idea and it was "somehow" fun to play... but I had some problems in understanding the whole process respectively what is going on... nonetheless, very good job!

ithildin 2013-05-08 16:10

Brilliant entry :)

I love the infographic-like visuals, and gameplay is really interesting (I'm struggling to avoid my volcano from exploding after the first or second cities, but I'm getting better =D). Not to mention music or humour. Great job!

kill0u 2013-05-08 20:46

Took me some time to get it, but great game!

robotality 2013-05-09 14:20

Really well done! Love this game :D Bookmarked for playing it more later :)

Geen 2013-05-11 21:03

And then one British secret agent comes in and blows it all to hell, when, in reality, it was already going to explode on it's own.

alwaysinbeta 2013-05-13 17:08

Great game. Incredibly polished for 3 days work.

ryusui 2013-05-16 21:45

Heh, fun times. But it's impossible to recover if your capacitor blows. Bit annoying.

rafaelsales 2013-05-20 23:49

Cool game. Great graphics and simple mechanic. Hard to get master and really fun. Congrats!
