I find it hard to survive. Audio and graphics are nice and complement each other nicely.

Interesting game. It's a bit hard to get started, since you jump right into it with no idea what to do. Had a lot of fun after I understood how to play, and it was surprisingly fun for such a simple project! Good job.

Reminded me a lot of the gameplay loop of the Android game little healer. It feels like some of the values need to be tweaked and despite failing every run to stay alive longer than 30 seconds I liked it :D Also a big fan of Aseprite, excellent choice.

I also use Unity + Aseprite, great choice! :laughing: The game is very hard but looks good. I like both graphics and the simple music. :thinking: I think I have to also start using Bosca Ceoil some day.

I liked the game but I found it very hard. Nice art and sound.

When you die you can still play. Otherwise, great game!

Cool game but it's hard to survive. Music is nice and graphics too. Godd job!

Its a little bit hard to not die quickly

caspercaper17 2019-04-29 12:18

The concept is really cool, but there seems to be no way to survive, and after awhile you have to die.

Good job on graphics and music! The game is hard, maybe it would be better to have cheaper upgrades at the beginning and increase it's cost on higher levels. Ballancing parameters it's not easy task in 48h game jam, I know something about it.. :) Good job though!

A fun little game, difficulty starts a bit challenging but once you get a few upgrades it becomes way too easy, letting the stats go up instead of down just turns it into a brain-dead waiting game. Graphics are nice, music gets a bit repetitive. Numbers would need some tweaking(more tanks increase storage way too much). Overall a nice effort.

Very hard, but fits the theme. Visuals and audio fit together nicely. The button rects in the center row are a bit too large though. If I wanted to hit "Buy oxygen", I almost always hit "Buy Air Tank". After I found out how to survive longer, I actually "tried living" ^.^ Nicely done!!

A simple, but polished game!

aycan 2019-04-29 13:12

the tip really helped :) i loved graphics and audio. I can spend much more time in this game if it is balanced a little more.

spaarkimus 2019-04-29 14:58

After I figured it out it was fun to click around. It would make a great subsystem in a game I could see myself playing. Well done. I think there might be a small bug with the input when clicking on buying oxygen or water after buying a tank for it; it mistakes the click was for another tank purchase.

Audio and graphics are nice! Gameplay is a bit hard at first, maybe if you changed the wording on the boxes to say "Upgrade Regeneration". But when I figured it out it got easy and now my finger hurts :D

chameleon 2019-04-29 22:45

Great work! The tip is really useful.

I'm not sure if it's a bug, but when you buy too many "Upgrade Air Tank" and "Upgrade Water Tank", they replenish themselves rather than drain at a slower rate.

Played it till the end. Loved IT. 11/10 Exceptional job for the first time.

tfdiaz 2019-04-30 05:16

Played it till the end too! So much fun. At first I thought there was no way this is a winnable game but I figured it out and I enjoyed playing!

jani-nykanen 2019-04-30 06:42

Would be nice if I could restart without refreshing the browser. Other than that, pretty nice game.

Its hard to try to live

jamesolivermusic 2019-05-02 18:38

Maybe give the player a few seconds before starting gameplay. Nice visuals though, and a challenging experience.

randomhuman 2019-05-02 21:49

Took me a few tries before I really figured out what was going on, but once I did it was a lot of fun. I like that there were two layers to the clicker madness, and the ending was nice, the scene is really nice to look at once the buttons are removed. The music is also very effective. Good job!

bradur 2019-05-05 06:52

Once I figured out the correct strategy, it was just some furious clicking. Still, it managed to keep my interest till the very end. Well done! The music track really helped with the atmosphere. Good job!

Cool concept and nice take on the theme. I found the game very moody, and mysterious (why is the player stranded on the moon?!). After exponential growth I made it back!

I found that if you buy enough blood bags the numbers on the blood-o-meter would disappear. Overall great work.
