Those faces are definitely....something else. Fun little game, though. It gets kinda tough after a few levels, only made it to level 4.

There's a lot of small issues, it's difficult to read the enemy attacks prediction, and to move, moreover, playing of the HTML build camera control was difficult. However, the face plus the small sample of voices are incr and made me laugh and that's really cool!

Humor off the charts! I had trouble selecting less units though, but that might have been me.

loved the art of the characters and the voices! wasn't able to make it past level 4, but i enjoyed what i was able to play.

The game was a little hard to understand (I don't speak Australian) and I'm not sure how it fits into the theme. I will say that the controls were very responsive and felt solid. Good entry and nice work!

All of the 3D models looked great, RTS controls were pretty good too. The skybox background was a little bit disorienting, maybe going with a black space background with glowing white stars would have been a better pairing with the low poly design of the models.

I had fun trying to figure out enemy attack patterns and microing my 'strayans appropriately. Some of the enemy behavior seemed inconsistent or maybe I just didn't understand how the attacks worked. It seemed occasionally my units would attack from farther out than they should be depending on where I clicked.

Voice acting was hilarious, pictures were hilarious, plot was very funny. This is probably the funniest game that I've played so far, and I think it's going to be hard to beat.

The faces, the voices, the humor... It's so fun! Love it. Controls aren't easy and fluid, but it's so funny oh my...

The music and visuals are great! The radio effects on the voices are immersive and the dialogues are fun! Well done mates!

Very good idea. The RTS control maybe seems strange to me. Maybe the selection of units with the mouse plus a keyboard control would be more appropriate. Turning around the enemies is difficult. Good work. Nice detail to customize each ship.

G'day Mate!

This was quite unique. Controls were a bit unintuitive, and weren't easy to find. I would have preferred if the game told you the controls instead of them being buried in the description.

I enjoyed the faces you've drawn... Would love to know more about these characters. And the music was quite good as well (if not a bit loud and abrasive). Good job!

Super cool! Very amazing to be able to see RTS flavoured games in ludumdare. I've played it over and over but never got past the last level. At the beginning the ships would take damage from the battleships below, and even though I was defeating the alien monsters and the two black battleships without taking any damage, I still didn't have enough hp to defeat the white battleships above.

This was really very addictive, well done

This is a really funny game! I'm always impressed by rts style games in game jams. My one complaint really is the controls, it would be nice if you had separate commands to move to a location, and shoot at another location. Otherwise I hope you keep working on this! I wanna see some equally ridiculous kiwis!

Very funny. The gameplay has its issues as others have pointed out. Since the humor seemed to be the main draw, I wish there was more emphasis put on that. Would have been nice to have the voice lines spread out a bit more intentionally instead of tending to play on top of each other. Got a chuckle out of me, great job!

I loved the faces + voices for the units! Gives the game so much character. Music was really nice too. Nice work!

wow great art design

hora-timer 2022-10-09 11:06

Wow! que legal esse é o primeiro jogo de nave que vejo Nice!

tigerfinch 2022-10-09 11:23

Loved the graphics and sfx, made me smile :) Found it a little too tough to see where I should place my guys to stay out of damage, but had some fun. Well done!

Star Dingo! Cool game, I loved the presentation but the gameplay was a little barebones. Forcing the player to reposition every 10 seconds to survive added some depth, but most of the time I was still just sitting around waiting for the enemies to die. The game kinda felt like a 2d shmup but with frozen enemies. I think there might be a cool idea there where you can incorporate the bullet hell of a good shmup at a more tactical pace. Like make the enemy ships have more intense attack patterns that cover the majority of the map, forcing the player to move or decide to tank some hits for tactical reasons.

We need more games in the "ms paint Australia" genre

Gameplay was kind of a mess, but the portrait art and main idea were beautiful I need more crusty unhinged aussies in space thanks
