Nice slow pace in the game. tick tick tick sounds were awesome, and the level is pretty nice models. Good unity quality too, with nice animated models. Looks like tons of work, even though unity helps alot. The graphics was excellent.

It is nice to see someone who thinks about their audience by repeating the help text above each item.

I liked the animations on the generators and the look of the main character. Also, I liked that the Dr Who-ish sound effect when the enemies killed me.

I love the humor in this game, and I also tried to push the character at the end of the game off the platform, but I failed x) Game had a nice management of your time where you keep struggling at deciding to mine or defend.

Good Job!

Thanks for the feedback :) It was indeed tons of work, I practically didn't do anything else for a couple days (I am lucky enough to have a girlfriend who was willing to take care of me :D )

Very good looking game, and the sound and music fit well with it! The mechanics of shooting were a bit rough (very hard to actually hit what you wanted!), but there was a lot of ideas for 48 hours. Thanks for building this and participating!

Maybe I should mention that there is some porn for who manage to get to level 4...

Graphics are gorgeous, the sound effects were hilarious(where did you get the sound that the enemies do? Did you poke your cat? :D). The music gets repetitive after a (short) bit, but the game is solid and very well done and polished.

Seems almost incredible you did this in only 48 hours! :).

Cute game, those enemy monsters are pretty wild.

kubap 2017-08-01 12:33

This game is alright. The idea of gathering energy to power a portal is decent. However, the amount of trips back and forth to gather this energy is very small so the levels get completed pretty quickly. Also the enemies arent a challenge at all which makes the game a bit boring. Either way well done.

Really cool game, nice to see a 3D game (at least the graphics, gameplay is still 2D)! I love those little guys and the purring noises they make :-)

Is the third level actually doable in a reasonable time? If I get one power charge after the other, this will take ages as I constantly have to shoot those guys. That is why I quit there after about 15 minutes and three tries. This gets frustrating after a while.

Really nice game, congratulations! Keep up the good work!

Cool game, for me it felt like in the second level there were too many enemies though. But the graphics and the sounds were really nice, good job!

cnoble 2017-08-01 23:43

That was quite a bit of fun! I liked the use of the theme and the music, it fit the whimsical atmosphere of it :) My only gripe would be that the player felt a little too loose in the controls, little hard to stop, turn, move, fire, and collect in a short time frame. Getting past that though there is a cute little game full of fun :)

simone 2017-08-02 09:00

Thank you everybody for the feedback.

@gonutz : it is possible, you can collect the resource from the nearest resource spot (the text is a lie), it should not take more than 3-4 mins to complete it.

@lazzor : I know... balancing this game was not an easy task. For some player it will seems too easy (like @kubap commented), while for others will look like impossible :( If I had more time (and energy to expend on that) I was probably going to add different difficulties level, to let everyone play at their own peace. Anyway, I'm not going to work more on this project. It taught me a lot and maybe next LD I will be able to make something better :D

Graphics and the audio have been nicely implemented. Really good work.

daragongames 2017-08-02 21:06

This game is good, but the sound gets to annoying very fast. By simple sounds like this its important to choose the right pitch and length. Take Human Music from Rick and Morty as example which I think manages to create decent sound with only a xylophon, but this might also be just personal taste. The Gameplay shows some complexity with some simple mechanics, which is kind of impressiv. The floating text in Level 1 could be improved, but they are better than a only read tutorial. Over all a good game, which was probably a lot of work.

vivoubos 2017-08-02 21:54

Nice game. That monster kill me!!!!

Very good, you give us a choice, keep energy fast but with a risk, or safe but long. Very good idea!

Good job!

What I like:

- The graphics are very nice - The models and animations look great, and have great character. - Great gameplay mechanic

What I think could be done better:

- The generator shouldn't be able to get over 100% - The crystals seem a bit overpowered

gonutz 2017-08-06 17:37

Oh no! You really got me there, I actually just upgraded your Humor score by one star because "the ~~cake~~ text is a lie" - that is actually pretty funny. Unfortunately I had to find out by you telling me. I did not even try to just walk over that pipe, I ran into it and immediately retreated :-D

Also very nice ending, back home with my ice-cream-breasted wife and smiley face house (although I did push her down the platform, just to see if I could) :-)

designernap 2017-08-06 20:09

This was great fun and I mean that. Lots of care and attention went into this. Love the surrealy floaty background objects, the audio on attacking enemies is great and the whole thing hangs together really well. Great audio, visuals and gameplay. A lovely game.

Good job, nice little game :)

I loved that you seemed to spent sometime putting so much elements, even if it might not be perfect, but it was matters for you to make what might be a complete jam game. SFX, Music, 3d art, animations, particles,...etc.

My only two points that i didn't like, was - frame rate was not good for such a game on browser. I didn't try the standalone though. - when i walk backward, i was expecting to see the character facing me, not just moving back with the back.

I like the balancing in this game between having to charge up the generator and stop the invaders.

mhaton 2017-08-11 16:15

Great work for your first jam! I enjoyed it!

snirp 2017-08-12 14:07

Nice one. Couldn't get past level 2. Too daunting! The goombas were very intimidating and crazy things happen. That said, liked the experience. Had fun!

quadtree 2017-08-14 07:15

Interesting game, loved the graphics. If there's one thing I'd add, it'd be a health bar for the main generator, since it's the key to completing the level.

abductedplatypus 2017-08-15 00:02

The enemies (and the player) are really cute. Very nice game, though it gets a bit repetitive over time to charge a bit then shoot a lot. But still a very enjoyable game.

prodigalson 2017-08-16 19:34

Very well done. I love the player robot and its animation when moving, collecting power, and shooting as it felt right, smooth, and responsive. The music was a little high pitched for me so it got a little annoying after a while and the "thank you" sound effect when collecting power is cute but a little too repetitive. Overall, solid entry and good job!
