this asked for money when I tried to download and then when I tried to open it my windows detected a trojan, maybe check the files? The cover looked good, do you have an HTML version?

Hi, I think there's something wrong with the files bc my pc detected a virus. Do you have the WebGL build?

nanobuilder 2021-10-05 02:26

I just uploaded an HTML5 version! Sorry about that! Weird false positives with Gamemaker executables...

Nice game! The window was a bit small and I was also a bit lost at first what I was supposed to do. Besides that this is a nice little game!

really fun and engaging! loved the pixelart and the general chaos of having to manage everything, really great job!

bhughes 2021-10-05 02:32

html wouldnt let me interact with any of the controls

aquilart 2021-10-05 02:35

Quick, simple and fun! Not really sure if it fits entirely with the theme, but hey if you add some BG music, SFX and polish it might turn out well! Good luck!

This game was really good. I would love to see some sounds on this, everything else was fun, it reminds me of the bop-it toy, or wario ware games.

I would suggest to ramp up the difficulty at a faster rate than this.

Really nice work!

I can see that the drill is unstable that I had to do many things to stabilize it. I pressed the icons instead of the buttons at first BTW. It was annoying yet fun.

Looks good but the game would benefit from some sound and a tutorial!

shared 2021-10-06 02:13

Very fun game, having audio would have been awesome, the same kind of little noises you have in wario ware games, and a music that accelerates as the game gets harder. The game is still pretty good without audio though, but like someone else suggested I think it should get harder faster. I had a nice time

This is a neat concept, I feel like I didnt have quite enough time to complete some of the tasks ( but maybe I am just slow with my mouse), and I had a little bit of trouble deciphering the gadget on the left side. Some sounds would really liven it up, the game looks great otherwise.

Maybe this is my Spaceteam prowess kicking in, but I'm pretty sure I could have kept going forever! It seems like whatever is supposed to make the speed go up isn't doing what it's supposed to.

Fun game! I liked the little tasks; they felt satisfying. Cute graphics, too.

Cute art on top of a frantic little set of mini games. Definitely lost a couple times before I got a feel for how to operate everything, but enjoyed it. Great work!

I loved this! I'm going to have to come back to this when I have a better internet connection, because reloading each time to restart is not working for me at the moment.

But you managed to release a really tightly designed game for the jam! The art style and tasks were perfect together (even if my dumb butt thought I was supposed to be clicking the symbols, not the buttons hah).

Adding some sounds and music would have made it 100%. Please make an update!!

kapricorn-media 2021-10-09 03:01

Love the aesthetic. Had to restart a few times since i couldn't figure out what to do, but once i found the prompts it was golden. Would have loved some music, but all in all it was super fun to play!

nanobuilder 2021-10-09 05:04

Thank you all so much for the feedback! I just pushed a new version with some fixes to difficulty, fixed repair functionality (click instead of hold to repair) and a reset key. I would have loved to add some crunchy sound effects, but that will have to wait for the post-jam version...

@tiberiusuciu @shared @caeonosphere Thanks for the feedback on the difficulty! It turns out while the game did display the "Faster" dialog, it wasn't actually speeding up anything. That's been fixed now, so the speed actually does ramp up (incrementally). Feel free to give it another shot if you like!

@hawkin I just added a reset functionality so you don't have to reload the page every time! Just press the "R" key at any moment to instantly reset the game.

Wow. This is really great! I love Spaceteam so I love this. You chose the perfect set of actions too, I particularly like the gear shift, that's clever! I love the repair mechanic too! It's a tangible reward for performing well.

The art looks awesome too. Sound and music would have really tipped it over the edge, but really solid jam submission as-is!

hawkin 2021-10-09 11:42

@nanobuilder Awesome! This being your first solo, I'm not sure if you caught the fever for it, but if you want to Collab with sfx/music on a future project let me know! I'm always looking to practice those.

256 :D Coulda gone longer but my mouse was having a hard time going counter clockwise :laughing:

An interesting combination of minigames. It's great for phones. Add some purpose + pumping - would be very cool! ;)
