After like 10 attempts, I finally managed to survive the first wave, however took a casualty. I see great potential, but the game could stand to be easier - or at least an easy option to exist. I like resource management games otherwise.
Nice simple art style, and core concept is cool! Could do with a basic tutorial splash, but was good fun none the less. Nice work!
Couldn't get past the first level. Managed to kill about 70% of the ennemies, but they just get too fast in the end. The game is fun and interesting, but a little too hard.
Good job.
Agreeing with the others, the first level wiped me out! It's pretty difficult, but the mix of resource management and defense was very well done. Hope you polish it up post-ld! :)
Very challenging and it could have been more explained. Very solid entry, though :)
A bit too hard, should start easier
Took me 8 attempts to survive first wave
Too hard! Died in second wave :D. Check my game too: President's bodyguard simulator.
A little buggy but the idea was nice. Loved the graphics and the gameplay is a good idea, just need more polish
Too hard to start of as mentioned before but very cool idea nonetheless1
I must be being thick but I haven't got a clue what I'm supposed to do? I clicked on the big square and built a farm, and clicked and the little square and built a gun. Then what? how do I shoot the aliens?
Sorry if i'm missing something obvious!
@Dream Of Sleeping Well, It's pretty much a consensus that the first wave is not easy, plus the game barely explains anything. So let me do it:
-Farms and mines will produces 1 resource every 5 second. -Workers(the little white thingies) will produce 1 resource every 4 seconds depending on which terrain they are occupying.
-Guns need to be operated by soldiers(the green ones) the more soldiers they have the fastest their fire rate.
-Soldiers can work multiple terrains at a time. Say one of them is half over a mine and half over a gun. As a result that soldier will be giving you 1 resource every 4 seconds plus the gun will be firing.
PS: I'm adding this to the description.
I like the concept but as many others have already said, I would appreciate a slower start. A tutorial would be great as well. I spent the first few attempts trying to understand what I had to do. Nice game by the way: it has a lot of potential.
It's annoying having to scroll up and down on my laptop's screen to see the whole game. I didn't get very far but I can see how it could be challenging in a fun way -- good job!
Cool idea. But hard to survive.
It took me a while to realize I had to click on the small gray box to build a gun. There is potential here like the others have said.
Some explaning is always useful in this kind of simulation-like game. No sound. I like the layout and transition effects.
Too unforgivable from the get go, but a lot of potential.
Would like to see how far can this get pushed.
Hi, you commented my entry, Picofrio. You gave me feedback on the poor level design, so I've been working on a better crafted level and I would love that you tested the improved version and give me the new feedback.
By the way, your game is really hard!
Awesome implementation of space invaders machanics!
Really cool! I like the idea and the implementation, though it leaves a lot to be explained. It was hard at first, but once I read your tips, I was able to survive the first wave, and it was easy after that - at least, until the game glitched out and hit me with an unstoppable waterfall of doom. The winning strategy is: immediately build a gold mine, farm, and iron mine in the first row and an army camp in the second row, then buy one gun. That should leave you with no iron. Put all civilian workers on food, then buy as many soldiers as possible and have them work gun/resource. With a little practice, I can get 3 soldiers on the gun before the enemy is halfway to the base. I noticed that it's possible to drag people off the field. Also, I didn't see the use of the birthing center, because you don't need civilians to make soldiers, soldiers are better, and once you have civvies you can't turn them into soldiers so you aren't getting the most out of your population cap, and the birthing center even costs extra to build. Still a cool game, even if in the end I'm still not really sure what Rl'yeh actually does.
