What are the keys/button for you game ? I can't really play

lloydcorfex 2020-04-21 11:06

No player guidance... No menu to close the application.

duskel 2020-04-21 11:25

No indication, nothing to explain how to play :/

Figured out the controls really quickly, but next time give an instruction in the description or in the game itself.

Winning was pretty easy, because you get much money when you fill your planet with a few factories.

So fun game, but could've been made a bit harder.

Not bad for a first entry ! Took me some time to figured out controls though. For the next players : WASD + SPACE to manage left planet and arrows + enter to manage right planet. Anyway, spawned Midgar and Sauron Eye, so I'm happy with that :smile:

@rodi WASD and SPACE for the left player, arrows and enter for the right player. We add more detailed info in the description!

Thanks for feedback :)

@lloydcorfex

It's our first entry and didn't think about the menu to close the app.. We only realised when it was too late.

We just add a description of the controls and mecanics of the game in the game descriptions for player guidance, but it's still not enough.

Thanks for feedback!

magic-mike 2020-04-21 12:35

@the-martijn Yeah you right everyone is saying the same thing, we need to have some guidance in our game, thanks for the feedback and we're glad you enjoyed it!

magic-mike 2020-04-21 12:36

@bluecalx A lot of mistakes were made but we learned a lot! Thanks for the feedback! There is also the portal gun and wall-e trash buildings :)!

Nice! some hints would be great for starting. Well done

magic-mike 2020-04-21 20:00

@5imon Yeah we agree! Thank you for the feedback :) !

I like the concept! I think there's some fun potential with this idea. I didn't have two people to play with, but could see how it could be a lot of fun when playing against another player. Of course, I had trouble keeping my earth alive without someone else sending me their trash!

As many others have said, a tutorial would be great and a single player mode would be a nice addition. A little more polish and you've got a solid game. Good job, y'all!

I can see it being fun for two people but it's hard to fairly judge the game as a single player. The graphics are nice and I like how you made a more competitive game from the theme. I do feel the controls are a bit confusing at first. Overall though good job!

Can you make an HTML5 or mac version? Or at least a video playtrough?

magic-mike 2020-04-24 14:28

@zollmaniac Thank you for the feedback! We're currently working on a better UI and a tutorial to had more clarity! A single player mod with a basic AI could be cool!

magic-mike 2020-04-24 14:30

@john-snyder Thank you! Yes that's a problem, even for us it was hard to test it, i don't think next time we'll on a versus game because of that :)! Thanks for feedback!

magic-mike 2020-04-24 14:34

@lerg We wanted it on HTML5 but we couldn't make it work back then.. I'll try to put it online tonight if you want to give a try :)

ecrush11989 2020-04-24 14:46

Great game I just think that the contrules are a little hard to find but the gamplay,music,and art was super nice.

magic-mike 2020-04-24 16:14

@ecrush11989 Thanks! And thank you for feedback!

zalop 2020-04-28 18:40

Interesting game! Controls are weird, but I love the overall game!

belowzerogames 2020-04-29 03:11

Very original idea , pretty cool little game just have to find someone to play against to really test it :)
