Thanks. I forgot to make it public.

Weird concept, but yup, fully complete little resource management game so well done on getting that done in the compo time limits!

You have found a good core gameplay, it would have been interesting to develop more mechanics around it (e.g., bacteria evolution, different ennemies, ...), but hey, I know, time ! ;-)

Funny game, reminds me of the pizza guy of spaceballs :-) Its good to see not only planets in space in this LD38, so thank you for the fun game. And it´s really a lot of clicking...

athomicus 2017-05-04 18:07

its a good concept - indeed game running maybe so slow but after its all super, wow I fell pain in hand from clicking

Great take on the theme. Some things to improve would be maybe more visual representations of how you soldiers are killing the enemy?

Well done on completing!

Congrats on completing the compo!

This was actually a really nice game, to be honest. The painted graphics worked well with the game. Nice job!

:pizza:Cool idea!:pizza: The visuals work very well with this type of game. If you keep working on it I suggest to add feedback for the 'fighting' part and then find ways around the game becoming an insane clickfest during later stages. :) Maybe add a autocollect button with a (upgradable?) refresh rate. But I still had fun with this.

Nice tower defense like game. That would be really cool to add new enemies and soldiers.

The gamplay its so fun! At the beginning of the game its dificult too understand how its work, maybe a little tutorial or something will be nice. And make the graphics better will be perfect to. Anyway I spend a good time in this game and i have fun! ^^

yojammerjammer 2017-05-07 05:11

I agree with having a tutorial. I really wanted to like this. Maybe with a revision or two.

I defeated 8 aliens, I hope it's not a bad score:) I like this game!

A cook- err, pizza clicker in spaaace! It took me a while to realize I had to click the little sun and gemstone to harvest them. Explanation would have helped. More options other than the four bacteria would keep my interest for longer. As it stands believe I defeated 12 aliens but in the midst of clicking I accidentally clicked restart immediately after I died and couldn't see. :(

The art could have used a little more love - it's cute, but a little sloppy. Here's a few spelling errors, and audio cues (even if there's no sound in space) would have helped a lot.

Good job on getting a complete clicker game done, with a little more work it could be pretty cool.

Nice, that was fun. Don't know who these aliens are that don't like pizza, doubt they've even tried it. Cute graphics and easy system to jump into.

rugnor 2017-05-10 20:11

So cool, made me feel like that Futurama episode where Bender gets stranded in space an a civilization develops around its body :D

Fantastic take on the theme, congrats ^-^

alexandr-rum 2017-05-11 10:27

And what is the recipe for this pizza? I see that it is a lot of tomatoes)) Cool animation!

nedmakesgames 2017-05-11 23:14

Love the art and the idea is pretty funny. Simple game, executed well, though it's not super engaging. I would have loved some goofy music, even if it's not realistic! Haha. Good job!

creamybacon2 2017-05-12 03:17

I had a lot of fun! It was simple to play, and rewarding to hold out for as long as you can. The music did not work on my end for whatever reason, but I believe that's my PC fault. GOOD JOB!!!

gris 2017-05-12 10:39

Even though theres no music or sound in space I would've loved some. Pretty entertaining mechanic. Congrats!

Fun resources management space pizza defence game with good animations. Hints were very helpful to get the hang of the mechanics. I've managed to kill 12 aliens.

If you're going to develop it further I want to suggest few things: * After selecting the bacteria to place, the button can be highlighted until it is placed, or the faded image of it can be shown and follow mouse cursor until placed. * After destroying enemies, new bacterias can be unlocked - for example ones that will increase attack power, do stronger attacks (other option to increase it can be by joining two bacterias of the same type), multiply earned resources, mine more valuable resources and provide a shield for the pizza until destroyed. * The enemies can also increase in number and after killing 4 or 9 next one could be an alien boss.

There needs to be a better tutorial in the game. Also, the graphics are not that great. Other than that, I thought the game was okay. It had a lot of humor and a unique concept.

ben-mceldowney 2017-05-14 05:25

I really enjoyed this one. I was only able to get to 9 aliens since I'm on a touchpad. I originally missed the bit about clicking on the resources, having the instructions in game somewhere would have helped. Great work!

arch-a-type 2017-05-17 23:27

Very good concept. I liked that you added more than one resource. Also the animations are cute and I love the art. The game play and pacing is very good, I got through 10 aliens, and never felt it was too difficult.

I had trouble get used to gathering resources at a certain point. I was generating them faster than I could click. It is just a suggestion, but you may want the harvesters auto harvest and if you click them they work faster, that way the player can still click when there is down time. Even though there is no sound in space I would of loved some silly music for this. :)

Great job!

It is a fun game! And I like the graphic)
