Nice graphics, also reverse paralax is funny :D Anyway, really great mood!

Greate mood of the game and graphics :) Love your pixel art style, guys.

Great look. feedback on each item would be great addition

Love the mood and the graphics. I wish there will be a linux version :)

That's the entry with the best graphics I've seen so far. Besides the animation of the main character (which look a little bit too wobbly for my taste) this looks and sounds amazing. The gameplay is also a nice idea. If you have invested a little bit more time on a tutorial (which is totally understandable something to neglect in a jam), explanations for items, and a bit more depth, go release it on Steam or somewhere!

Gameplay is easy to understand and quite fun, and the atmosphere is very well built! Apart from the fact that most AIs will freak out when reaching their objective (they seem to invert at every frame), there's no breaking the mood! Good job guys! Solid entry! Recorded some gameplay, is it okay if I upload it?

Got the idea quickly and started to upgrade defenses and activate drones.Nice! What was unclear:

1. So the enemies attack only the base, not you? 2. There are two types of drones it seems? Those which ride left and those which ride right?

Graphics and style are amazing, main characters walk cycle was a bit odd though. Good use of the theme and interesting game mechanics.

This game is easy to play, and the art is just amazing - these are defintely cons. The sounds, i think, were not so good and didn't fit nice enough, also i lacked some of them - like the sound of enemies breaking or hitting the wall. Also, player walking animation looked really weird, and i'd like him to be faster, or the game overall to be slower, because i simply wasn't fast enough to do all the things in my base before the night starts :( . But still, good job on your game!

The mood was great , graphics and sound effects feels so nice.But some interactions felt glitchy.When the droids encounter the enemy they behave weird. Great job though :)

I like this graphics, artist do really good job. Game is interesting, but I agree with @coauctor, it look really strange when enemies attack only base. I enjoyed this game, great job!

Nice game! Simple concept but efficient. Had a hard time understanding what I was supposed to do, but afterwards all went smoothly! The atmosphere is pretty neat. Would need a few upgrades to make the fun lasting, and the walk animation is wonky (looks like an octupus :) ). Pretty cool overall.

Really cool art style and atmosphere. Gameplay was simple to understand, but I think having some tooltips or similar to indicate what things "are" would go a long way. I wasn't really sure what someone would be once I powered it up from the scrap heap.

Really nice graphics and interesting concept on gameplay, but as @taira-domini said it is strange that enemies only attack base.

kungkras 2017-08-02 21:12

Really great graphics and mood. I would have liked to see some attack animations though.

victorcrafty 2017-08-03 08:51

So cool!Very good graphics!Good job!

This is a really good concept, and I could see myself having more fun if I had more immediate feedback on my actions. As it is, I can't really tell if I'm winning or losing or even if my base has health. It definitely looks like something that can be perfected with more time, though

Great art, reminds me of KINGDOM: New Lands. Too little feedback about base health or defence destruction. Night/Day cicle a bit too short.
