Lol I am so sleepy didn't notice the spellings error in "conNect"

porglezomp 2014-08-26 02:24

THIS IS SO HARD. I liked it but MAN.

For some reason the "Play" button doesn't work all the time. Once it randomly did, but I was too confused about what all the buttons were, and I died. You should provide a graphic that explains what each button does, some introduction, etc. The graphics are really good and I like the concept though.

I think there's an error in the purchases, it let me buy upgrades with the mouse even when I went into the negatives, but not to fear, it's still really hard to win..

Great idea. Works well. Would make an awesome co-op game.

alpha_rat 2014-08-26 12:40

It's hard but fun! The graphics are really good. It would make a really nice 2 payer game

sojabird 2014-08-26 12:40

I updated the description with the controls ;)

imaginarymonsters 2014-08-26 13:12

Solo is indeed hard! : ] I can see this being a cool competitive lobbing game too where both pod cities are competing / blasting each other. Nice work!

rfmteam 2014-08-26 13:42

Very nice concept and execution, really needs a friend to enjoy

darklightteam 2014-08-26 13:42

Good work!

akymos 2014-08-26 13:45

Very hard but fun..

mechabit 2014-08-26 13:45

wow your own bullets kill you? that's harsh.
love the game and the graphics. well done.

akymos 2014-08-26 13:46

Very hard but fun..

aske 2014-08-26 13:46

Wow. really fun !

mrspeaker 2014-08-26 13:52

Ha, great! I feel like one-player mode is do-able, but there should be more shields then, so you can concentrate on protecting the bridge, without worrying too much about the shields (because that's hard enough ;)

reverend-speed 2014-08-26 15:01

Lovely little game to play with a friend! Looks great. I enjoy the strategic elements as well. Great work for the Jam!

adventureislands 2014-08-26 20:59

Very hard, but pretty fun. Great job on this, single player was indeed hard, I'm sure the game would be blast in multiplayer, it feels really polished.

nolife-team 2014-08-27 09:12

Really nice game:) Congrats!

simplexcity 2014-08-27 10:06

excellent!
was a good tug of war too, almost thought he had it for a while... then the sheilds came back online.

razoric 2014-08-27 17:55

Nice graphics, cool gameplay

ponk 2014-08-27 18:23

Beautiful pixels and fun game

honcho 2014-08-27 20:03

Great idea! Was super fun. Needed someone else to play with me though.

ViliX 2014-08-30 18:30

I am really glad that it's a jam entry. My game wouldn't stand a chance :D

damrem 2014-08-30 19:29

Very original! Only misses a solo mode.

havana24 2014-08-30 19:41

Single player it's nearly impossible, but in coop it works! Good game! :)

landosystems 2014-08-30 20:04

Very cool idea, but crazy hard solo... It would be great if the other side was AI controlled in solo mode. I really like the art style too. Needs some sound too. Really nice work though!

tomvert 2014-08-30 20:25

Love it, it must be really fun with a friend. Or maybe with 3 players, one is managing the buyings with the mouse and the others use the cannons :D

orangeez 2014-08-30 20:47

Hm, a pretty tricky game, especially if you play it alone :P

sojabird 2014-08-30 23:25

Thanks for all the responses :D It's truely inspiring and I will continue to work on it for a little while.

I will add the AI as well, thanks for the suggestion

andrewkennedy 2014-08-30 23:54

Ok, I was too bad to actually beat it, but it had a lot of polish and I had a blast playing it. Some sound would really be the icing on this cake!

emotiontheory 2014-08-30 23:56

This is really well thought out. I appreciate the local coop nature, even though I didn't get to try it. For a post compo version, I would consider slowly unlocking each power + upgrade over time while introducing what they do, similar to something like Diablo 3. Thanks, and keep making awesome games!

stevesalmond 2014-08-31 07:42

Really neat! Will have to grab an office buddy to try it out properly :D

capitals 2014-08-31 08:08

Damn this is difficult, however REALLY fun!

egor-idiot 2014-08-31 11:02

Nice little game. Very hard, but interesting.

msaul 2014-08-31 18:23

awesome game, got ton of fun !

commodorekid 2014-09-03 08:40

It's really hard to actually succeed at this but it's quite fun. Wish you would write what are the controls for, like in a word or two, next to them. Good entry.
