I wanted to let you know that the DL location is not in a public folder so I couldn't play.

Thanks for letting me know. Moved it to a public folder

Very good production value. The audio in the training video is great. Very funny. The graphics are impressive!

I think it would help if the instructions were a bit more obvious. Running to the panel and remembering the instructions takes quite a lot of time, necessitating multiple sessions. If there were a few icons on a HUD that showed the click order, that might be a bit more helpful.

It's somewhat poetic that there's a feature that requires 3 buttons, but since the theme was "2 button controls" you're sort of stuck! Good use of the theme!

That 2 buttons are nice haha!
Good job man!

Really inventive use of the theme, great job.

Unity. Of course not start. Excuse me.

Fun use of the theme. I like the challenge.

The giant approaching sun is terrifying! Really sets the mood for the game.

Voice acting is great as well! Really enjoy the old-timey radio sound and the transatlantic accent!

Definitely got a strong sense of helplessness in this one early on. Really enjoyed your take on the growing theme... I sure hope our sun stays cool... or warm...

Great job on the intro video! You really stuck to the two button theme in a way that I didn't expect! Good job!

I failed in saving earth but I had a lot of fun. The voice over was just awesome.

That intro was really great; The best I've seen for Ludum Dare. It's a pity the gameplay is so frustrating, though. I couldn't figure out what to do in the short time before everyone dies. I will admit it gives the game a real sense of hopelessness.

I liked your interpretation of the two-button theme. It was hard to remember how to do everything at some points (which is definitely unique for a two button game!) Good job! The graphics looked great!

Although, I did notice shadows on the sun, which, frankly, shouldn't happen. I'm pretty sure there is a way that you can disable shadows for one object in Unity. Sorry. I'm a nitpicker ;)

Good job!

the audio effect are great and graphics. i love your game

archonthewizard 2015-12-16 02:12

That intro was awesome! The game looked and felt great! Unfortunately, the instructions were not enough to teach me how to play your game =/

mintarcade 2015-12-16 11:46

Awesome game. Nice mix of the themes!

drfallos 2015-12-17 13:06

I just realized that i killed everyone:( Maybe i should play in nighttime when sun doesn't shining xD

That training video is awesome!! also reminds me of the style that Fallout uses. I have to die several times to get to know all the patterns of 5 stations. maybe a few minutes for first-time players is desirable.

Nice game with good graphics. Took a while to figure out what to do but it has a nice feel to it.

Maybe you should have instructions as a tutorial or something?

yvanor 2016-01-01 20:11

This game is so stupid :')

Very fun and clever, well done !

kardfogu 2016-01-04 16:42

Well, interesting. The problem comes at the point that we have no visual indicators about what does what or anything.

When I saw that we have a fully voiced intro I was sure that we get a proper tutorial. That wasn't the case.

We got indicators that something is bad, bring buttons there, smash them and nothing happens. Rinse and repeat the game over, over and over and over. That is to say, the game is confusingly buggy, at first I thought I'm doing it right.

Other than that, the visuals are impressive, the sounds are good, the voiced intro is clearly awesome and it had some of the Fallout feeling in it. The implementation of both themes is just perfect. Definitely a solid entry.

Keep up the good work!

Really fun game, and that introduction video was amazing. I just never was able to successfully use the 5th station...
