There's a decent tutorial (that I accidentally skipped the first time round), and it's pretty enjoyable once you figure out how to play it. The graphics and audio are fitting, and I like the take on the theme (running away from space?).
It's quite difficult, but interesting. It's a pretty complex game with good ressource management, and I like the music. I think the sound effects are too loud, and the UI is not really simple to understand.
It's a good game!
Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D
good game little hard but i like the way you represented it :D
The tutorial is a must! nice complex game. It is a little difficult to follow and takes a while to get the hang of it but its a great take on the theme.
@chocolat-endive @cristihkj @tobias-headstrong @mdacoffee thanks for the feedback! Looks like I made the game a little too unforgiving (whoops) but I'm glad you liked it anyhow. I really should have done some more playtesting with other people to make the game more playable, sounds like I gotta manage my time better. :D
Nice entry! I'm really impressed with the amount of work that you did in 48 hours. Don't let the graphics fool you, this game is actually quite interesting and deep. And therein also lies one of it's weaknesses, because even after I read the tutorial in full, it was still pretty difficult to remember all the little things that you have to do in order to keep your spaceship alive. At times, it can be a bit unintuitive. Especially when you hear a million little warning sounds and you have no clue how to get away from that *damn* astroid coming your way. Of course this can all be learned with a bit of time, but I'm afraid that for a jam game, it's pretty complex (which is a compliment but also a pitfall :wink: )
Asides from the feedback, it's a really nice entry and I enjoyed flicking through all the menus and seeing all the little things I could buy, upgrade, tweek etc. It's all really solid and seems to work well, good job!
Nice idea! cool game! :thumbsup:
