My grid died X)
Your game is certainly not bad! It only needs some pollish.
No music, though not many participants have that (I don't). In my oppinion, the biggest thing that it needs is some in-game explaination. Having weird things like a refrigerator as player and bears as fuel is fine, funny even, but explaining the stuff on this page instead of the game itself is asking for confusion then. Oh and the bears get taken even as you walk past the powered machines. I would've liked some control over this.
Your sounds are good enough, but the graphics are even better! Next time spend some more time on the other aspects, such as the UI as you said, and it'll be an excellent game!
That makes two ratings and replies, so make sure to pay it forward and do the same for others okay? That way, you in turn also get more ratings, which will help you get better at designing games.
Well. I'm not entirely sure how this game works, and I think that that is it's biggest problem. The main thing is that I'm not quite sure how to prevent the grid from being destroyed, and that is a significant problem seeing as how it is apparently the primary goal of the game.
So most of my playtime (at least 4 minutes) was spent running from the 'innocents,' which was basically a zombie apocalypse simulator, so that was kind of fun. Although it quickly became laggy. It also appears that hitboxes have some sort of problem, as I was ostensibly not taking any damage until there was a large swarm of enemies.
Well, the idea is good. The graphics need work, but for a LD are fine. The sounds are not the best, when they are attacking the fences, the noise is not good, although it does the job of knowing how many are attacking by the amount of noise. Also is hard as hell, I didn't last much every time I played. Since the player control only the refrigerator and need to go back and forth all the time, there is no much time to defend properly.
In my opinion, it just need balance, maybe distributing the little mices around the field more closely to the batteries whould help.
Also you may write a proper description in this page of how to play, I need to figure it out by my self and at first it wasn't clear, also because the refrigerator appears behind a battery at the start of the game.
Other than that, good job on the entry!
May we possibly get a Linux64 build?
aw, sorry eremiell, it's win only. :(
This game has a lot of potentials. The problem is that I didn't know how to play it even after I read the instruction you wrote here. I clicked on the towers but it doesn't seem to work. The pros are the graphics are very good and the concept is very interesting as well. Good job :)
P.S If you would like to check my game that would be great. Thanks :)
