Thank you! :) We had the idea of fractals first as well. I tried DSF a couple of times, but the game locks itself quite often if you press E. I was not able to get into the FLOW of this type of games because I wasn't able to get enough resources and the controls are a little too unresponsive for me. And there seems to be no sound as well.
Hi guys, flew a bit around in your game and got a lot of bug from the get go. I got stuck in the wall, restart menu didn't pop up when i got out of fuel and fuel started going into reverse direction out of bounds. Also after restart that way i could buy all of the upgrades without paying.
Interesting game)
Nice graphics and physics! Interesting mechanic of controlling amount of fuel and upgrading the spaceship.
Some remarks: 1. Landing right after fuel was left lead to Game Over. Expectation: you can buy fuel and continue game if you have enough gold. 2. Sometimes shop panel remains semi-transparent. Expectation: panel continues to become non-transparent until it's done. 3. You can buy anything at the beginning without collecting any gold. Expectation: game checks amount of gold before buying. 4. Game is silent. Expectation: game gives you audial feedback using sound effects and supports mood using music. 5. Once Among Us like character jumped out of the spaceship and game stuck after that. Expectation: game allows to control this character or return this character back to the spaceship.
Nice entry, keep going!
For 72 hours it is quite an advanced game. Congrats on that! Didn't have any of issues other participants pointed out 😅
Cool game ! The game loop is fun and the upgrade mechanic work well. I just noticed one thing : you loose fuel even if you are at the base. Maybe add some Sound and other planets where you can land and restock your ship and this game would be great ! Good job !
Really could need some audio! I found the same bug as @zhanna so i bought all the upgrades and got to depth 7 ! The black holes? Have quite stretched and blurred textures and dont seem to fix the other assets! However its a good game, i think just some small sounds would really go a long way! :) :rocket:
Very good entry for jam! I like the graphics, and the controls are very cool, the inertia is good, the ship as a whole is pleasant to control. There are, of course, several problems - for example, it seems to me that the effects of camera shaking are superimposed on each other, as a result, if you take several shots in a row, you get quite strong shaking. Of course, there are bugs in the game, and the most serious one is that you do not have a check for a negative amount of gold. That is, I can buy all the bonuses from the start of the game and go to -275 gold. And of course, there are not enough sounds, at least some. But still very good! Good job!
Nice game. Liked the idea. It was fun trying to move the ship correctly. There was some bugs with the menu though.
I like the exploratory aspect of the game, even though I couldn't reach depth greater than 4. I think the zoom thing made a weird glitch on the the sprites.
Nice game! space exploration is a big yes for me. The gameplay is interesting and the graphics are great
Strange, the fractalling effect was interesting to think about. Could have been more types of upgrades perhaps?
The idea is fun, and the visuals are good. But it feels really unfinished, and it really needs some music and sound effects.
Cool take on a space exploration concept. I would've liked some more upgrades other than just fuel and increasing your max depth.
The controls felt a little finicky - turning right and left was really sensitive compared to the thrust, so you have to just lightly tap left and right or else you'll spin way too much.
Once, I ran out of fuel in space but then managed to land back on the launch pad - but it was still game over, even though I had plenty of money for more fuel. That felt a little unfair.
I got to the final depth (by cheating and getting all the upgrades by going in debt) and the camera glitched out and then there was an Amogus guy flying through space. Dunno what that was about.
Pretty cool game, and good idea. Had the issue with accidentally pressing E so my character jumped out of the spaceship and I had no way to get back. Had to restart everytime that happened. Reason I pressed E so often was that it was more intuitive for me that shoot would be on that button and not space. The game could also have used some sound effects to really give a good feel to it. But it was still a really interesting game, well done!
