I enjoyed this game quite well, since I like zeppelins and absolutely loved the art style. The SFX were also quite nice and gave a good atmosphere.
My only complaint is that I wish the level was longer and slightly more detailed.
Overall, nice work!
The Zeppelin very big in mood. Simplistic, yet effective art style. Conveys the feels of a dark war night over the city. The shooting and bombing part felt a little weird but still. It was enjoyable.
Very great mood! Overall cool little game. Great work! Sometimes I didn't know why I died, a little bit more feedback on damage would be nice.
Great atmosphere!
The typeface choice is hard to read. The level was a bit short and uneventful honestly.
I really love the general design and art style.
The Quit button at the end doesn't/didn't work for me.
Oh another game about a zeppelin! Nice work.
I love the graphics and the art style. That is why I put you on my notepad, I saw a screen shot during the event and wanted to play your game. Unfortunately I don't know how to play it. I drop bombs on those three artilleries but they don't die. I don't find the rally point on the right. The only thing I can do is shoot the planes with my machine guns. I only found out by accident that I am supposed to move my mouse cursor over them (is that even what kills them?) while pressing SPACE. The mechanics are very, very unclear. A cool-down for the guns would have been nice to see (or hear). A clear goal to fly to would be good. Knowing whether I hit something or not and a clear idea of where to hit, these are all things that I miss in your game.
The mood is very nice, the color scheme, the sound effects, the particle system of little explosions in the sky, everything looks and feels really cool. Mabye you can give me a hint to solve my problems and I will wait with the raiting until I hear back from you.
Hey Gonutz, I'm really sorry to hear that.. the game has the rally point and that's it as for the Game Jam. I didn't code the trigger for the bombs so if you run out of them you can hear my voice, which is an easter egg and tells you your bombs do nothing. I'm sorry I had limited time and I focused on the sound effects. It's my first Jam game. I don't know what to say. Thank you so much for the feedback, but the controls should have appeared at the bottom when the level starts. I know there's not much content in it. I tried my best but I have some more experience and I promise my next game will be much, MUCH better. Cheers mate. Thanks a lot for playin'
Interesting idea for a game! Love the artwork and mood. Well done!
The art is good and the atmosphere is immersive.
Oh I see, your game actually IS unfinished. Than it is no wonder that it feels that way :-) You really should have told me all this in your description. It is of course fine to have limitations and I see you put your focus on graphics and sound to create a cool atmosphere and you did a great job at that. Still when going in with the assumption to play a finished game, this makes you wonder what is wrong. I read your text and I heard your voice saying "your bombs do nothing" but I thought of this rather as a hint that I might be doing something wrong or just a joke. I had no clue that you did not get around to implementing this in time. As I said, just write that in the description, people will be happy to know and just ignore that fact. I am sure you would even get higher ratings, not that that matters very much, but as I said, my disappointment stemmed from the fact that my expectations were different from what I got to play. Others will feel the same.
Please do not apologize, your game is not bad and you should never tell others that it is. And of course your next game will be better, no experience, no progress. So, keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more of you in the future. You should really take as your main point of this conversation to inform people of an unfinished game. Nothing more nothing less. Your game is cool.
