Hi, nice game and congratulations ! the use of pixel art is amazing. both the house both the tunnels... wow. Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.
I like the Pixel art Style and the Music fits perfect. Good Job :)
Love it :) Very similar emotions to the first version of Basement, i think it because of visual. After 15 of playing green one mini was broken (not clickable) so i was out of Si.
Nice Game!
Hi @steph88, thanks for your comment! I have uploaded the game here - http://www.indiexpo.net/ru/games/place-of-power
@Zerochain, @zulman, @Lojchin - thank you guys! Yes the game is using both "Ancient technology" and "Under the surface" LD themes )))
Graphics are top notch!
Mechanics of mixing and finding the nest way to produce resourses are great as well, but in the late game it become more grind than research, maybe because last stages of the game taking too long without adding new elements or maybe even small events happening in the mines and ruins.
Anyway it's a great fun to play game, good job guys!
Finally beat the game! Although the winning screen makes me a feel a little empty.
Like the pixel art and the mechanism! It's like a pointing game with more depth to explore. But after a draw a chart of the most efficient routine it become pretty easy.
All in all, good job. Most addictive game I've played in LD36 so far.
Wow! This is fantastic. Took a while to get rolling, but just the right amount of time to get me hooked. Great graphics, stellar sounds, and awesome mechanics! Top ten of 36, IMHO- as far as full featured games.
Perfect execution! I played in this game for half an hour or more (I lost my time here). Advice about a sheet of paper is really useful. Game becomes very easy if you can crack proper combinations for each resource.
I agree with comment above. Game is really addictive. Combination of alchemy and idler mechanics is superb.
Pixel graphics and idea of the game is great! Good job!
Great idea. An excellent implementation. My favorite pixel graphics. The game is very cool)
I love this game, I played 2+ hours and I really enjoy it! My favorite game in LD36 so far!
Cool game. A bit grind-y, but the art and all the little things are making it totally worth playing. Great job!
Jeez. I didn't expect to play this game for more than an hour! At first, I almost stopped playing, but then the experimental stage came into play, and before you know it, I had made a spreadsheet on the most efficient uses for each resource. It was surprisingly fun, and the art and music were pretty good too! Well done!
Thank you guys! Balance is not perfect, but I am glad you have managed to get the idea of the game and having fun! )))
Wow. Breathtaking!
The pixel art, the sounds, and even the game mechanics all came together very nicely. Even the minor things like elements traveling through the pipes were well thought out, and added a fantastic touch.
I was expecting the lack of tutorial or even English text would cause me to get lost, but there was just enough confusion for me to explore the UI and figure things out on my own (and picking up the game was very quick). Nice use of colors to distinguish each element more clearly.
I wish I had some constructive criticism, but I got nothing; you guys really know what you're doing, and I'm baffled that you could pull it off in a weekend, even as a team.
Yeah I can see why you'd want to mark proper combinations on paper - I didn't do that and realized my error a bit too late.
Not quite sure if I'd base the core gameplay on that requirement, generally people won't play games with a pen and paper in hand.
Other than that, it was awesome. I really liked the graphics, soundtrack, mood, and the general idea, just wish the game recorded what I'd discovered, it's pretty much impossible to keep memorized and as I said, pen and paper is no replacement for game mechanics.
Music and Graphics were very good. The main difficulty of this game is to understand how to play it. After that, patience and a drop per hour to obtain precious silicon. The idea of the game amusing - grinding of the ore to retrieve the item, is really reminiscent of chemistry lessons at school. :)
oh shi~
where is my hour of my life?
all parts of all game was perfect. atmosphere and most powerful: gameplay
Got all of upgrades and i am a little sad to see so simple ending :)
anyway, the game is superb, amazing and it's should be more complex! do it!
Wow, pleasantly surprised.
I started playing and got sucked in. Time just disappeared.
I love how simple the game looks on the outside, yet it's much more complicated once you get started.
I love the art it's great!
Music was good.
I think this is my favorite so far!
Great job!
Good job. Decent pixel art, audio theme and mood.
Had some fun. Thanks!
After playing and realizing I was about to get sucked in, I quickly came back to tell you what an awesome job you've done. Glad I did after reading the comments I see I probably would've been playing for a very long time. Only thing I needed was a slight tutorial, I couldn't understand what I was doing and had to trial and error my way through building more.
Awesome job!
One of the best looking games I've seen so far, the visuals felt so polished. Loved how you were able to use simple mechanics to make a more complicated game and the feedback with the controls was quite satisfying. Just wish there was a little bit more feedback with what you are doing cause it took me awhile to figure out what was occurring with all my choices.
