Not really sure what the game was entirely about

kaype 2014-12-09 03:51

I just played it... It's okay, but way too time consuming and also lacks sound. Good concept though.

oscarabraham 2014-12-09 03:51

What nice idea. Good historical context. I've never seen a building game with a mechanic that involves the player actually putting physical work in order to build. I really like it.

Very well done and quite addicting!

psydack 2014-12-09 03:53

Nice game.
I like that way when build something!

Not a fun game (it's just TOO slow), but love the graphics.

I really dig this theme on a progression style game. Everything seems /really/ polished here. Nice smooth transitions during the building phase. I dig the pixelated art as well. I could easily get addicted to this for like 1 week and then hate myself for wasting so much time.

Quite pretty, and I enjoyed playing it.

Found a bug: If I get the buildings that unlock other buildings twice, the other buildings show up twice in the menu.

A masterpiece of the genre! the Mona Lisa of games that take 10 minutes to beat.

Gonna agree with a lot of the comments here. Slow start, but it became fun once i started flying through building new parts of the cathedral. That part of the game was stretched too long though.
I found that the segment after that was unfairly difficult. I love the aesthetic though, really interesting.

Not sure how this game fits into the theme, but it's a loosely defined theme anyways.

Wow! This game has so many elements I like in it. I've never seen a graphical clicker game before, and everything looks absolutely gorgeous. I think the game could use some balance, though, because there's not really steady progression along the cathedral parts. Many of the later parts are resource-intensive but they don't get you much, or vice-versa. I felt like the balance for the first part, and the hitboxes (though I did eventually win!!) for the second part needed some adjustment.

I really look forward to seeing you next jam! This was an innovative and beautifully made game.

That was a nice surprise! But the galaxy background really made my eyes hurt.

justinmullin 2014-12-09 04:29

I'm not usually a fan of the "clicker" games, but this one was pretty fun. I was glad I stuck around for the surprise ending, until it turned out to be WAY too hard. <.<

Really a nice game :)

mcpgnz 2014-12-09 17:59

It was hard, but i've finished the game. It was really interesting, cause by building the cathedral so long you are emotionaly attached to it when the end stage comes and it makes you want finish no mater how hard it is :D

alpha_rat 2014-12-09 18:12

Very neat game!
the end is glorious

nikteddy92 2014-12-09 18:23

I find this game quite... DAMN EPIC!!!
You are a genius! On the take off I started laughing like an idiot! Well done. Nice graphic in the first part, a little too hard dodging the mothership bullets!

babajaga 2014-12-09 18:39

See Ivan, when you have drank so much vodka as I, the windmill would look to you as a cave too.

chrismingay 2014-12-10 10:45

Hahaha! Love where there one goes :)

allurious 2014-12-10 10:52

Neat game, lovely graphics. A bit slow but I really like the theme and direction!

jhice 2014-12-10 14:56

A bit slow to quickly have a glimpse of the whole game. I like the russian theme ;)

sushidestroy 2014-12-10 15:10

Really enjoyable

antisc2 2014-12-10 15:39

The game was addicting and fun. But was very time consuming and it was hard to understand what was happening. But nice concept

kristophtg 2014-12-10 15:57

This game is really well made and i had a lot of fun playing it. I liked the unexpected ending, but i think its way too hard.

jnyknn 2014-12-10 15:59

Concept is nice, but gameplay is rather confusing: some kind of tutorial would be nice.

aidinviper 2014-12-10 16:17

realy nice game

thefireman 2014-12-10 16:25

Pretty nice twist :) but then it was too hard for me :D i liked the style of the building part

orangeez 2014-12-10 19:59

Built a Kremlin, launched it into space, dodged klukva bullets and destroyed an alien mothership. 146/10

pulsartronic 2014-12-10 20:33

nice work !

domicuc 2014-12-11 13:31

Awesome! Love graphics and concept! Also check my project if you have some time mate x) thanks.

HelkeGames 2014-12-11 20:31

Love the graphics! Nice game!

frump 2014-12-12 00:35

The game seemed cool and interesting but moved a bit too slowly to keep me engaged.

virtuallycompetent 2014-12-12 01:59

Watching the pixels piece together was pretty cool! Not enough going on to keep my interest til the end, though.

ramyaanudeep 2014-12-14 01:11

the concept is awsum................

lycrashampoo 2014-12-15 08:28

Loved the graphics; that doll in the corner was the perfect blend of traditional and pixel, and it made me happy every time I looked at it.

I did wish there was more going on with the city-building mechanics in terms of interesting choices and interactions.

The endgame made me laugh, but then it was WAY too hard so I didn't finish. :(

01rafael 2014-12-20 20:56

Прикольная идея кликера, когда объекты собираются по пикселям! Круть! Буду играть дальше ))

egor-idiot 2014-12-26 15:10

Jusus Crist! Best game evar! 10 of 10 cathedrals.
