Really enjoyed your game!Great work!

Seemed a good idea, 15 turns each didn't allow us to reach each other, so we couldn't use the cannons at all. With a bit of balancing it could be a solid strategy game. (I would decrease the distance between players maybe?)

Thanks both! @azo We actually originally had it at 20 turns each, but thought because of the tile decay it might be too little! If/when we release an updated version, we'll take a look at that, thanks!

Interesting Idea! It wasn't the most intuitive trying it the first time, but the music kept my confusion afloat. Or should I say, the Balloons kept things afloat? ...heh. heh... Good job on this!

Thanks @ratherjolly !

Nice game, Love how everything is balanced! Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam! Game Link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacelab-42

Good job! I think you should have made the map smaller, so the players can be closer to each other. Or, the players could both start in the middle with some gap between them, so they would chose to fight or to explore a side.

reizoukin 2018-08-28 13:01

@aszu Thanks! Yeah, we considered those options, but given the scarcity of time we didn't get to test configurations like that much. Will look into it!

I'm not entirely sure I got how to play this game correctly, but it sure was fun to shoot my buddy's balloons!

reizoukin 2018-08-28 19:27

@thewustache it sounds like you got it!

Interresting game, I would have liked an AI opponent, bit in the interrest of time I understand why there was none. The art is well done and the music fits the strategic nature of the game. Nice use of theme by reducing space each turn! Well done!

Thanks so much @wildcard !
