I really enjoyed the smoothness to your game and the animations, It felt great to pick up items and place things down. I did have a problem figuring out what to do and what was doing what, I think some extra information whether tool tips or a in-game wiki would have been very helpful in that aspect. Regardless, I really enjoyed playing!
Glad to have the signs - there was a lot of to do, and it helped to not get overwhelmed. Resource gathering with a laser is something I want more of in games!
I, too, had difficulty figuring out what the goal was. Once I figured out how to walk around and craft, it felt like that was all there was to do?
PS - The tiled background on the itch page really clashes with the game itself - makes it kind of hard on the eyes.
@nickcherns @andrewkennedy Thank you for playing and for the feedback. I agree, that the game needs more information! I was too focused to add content and again deprioritized a proper tutorial... I have added a Screenshot explaining a little bit the mechanics in the post. Hope that helps if you want to retry or for new players!
Im a huge fan of automation games and this was a great spin on them! Was lost a bit at the start -reading is hard and I didn't found the B button- but I enjoyed beaming the trees to ash, that could have been the entire game and I would of had a great time, the visual feedbacks on mining is really enjoyable!
Couldn't finish the run cause my boss came into the room but definetly putting it on the list for once im home :)
@freamdev Thanks for playing! Sure please replay it :) With B button i meant the B key on your keyboard. Sorry that it wasnt more clear. You can also click the UI located on the bottom left :D
@rhewid Yea managed to figure it out eventually, clarity was fine to be honest it was more of an issue of "who needs a tutorial/read" :smile:
Enjoyed your game quite a bit, i'm really into automation games and this hits the spot! Intended on 5 Minutes per game, yours took ~30 Minutes - should say a lot about how much i liked it :D
If you intend on extending your game, you should know that after i got ~50 demons, things start to slow down - had to end my run because i was down to like 1 Fps in the end ^^,
This is a really fun automation game! I did like the animations and pixel art. The sounds and music were fitting, however I was about to have enough of them after my playthrough. Speaking of it, the mission system was nice, since it acted like a progression system and slowly made me try the different systems.
A small annoyance was the misplaced blocking of mining demons (they block the space above them, instead of the one where they are placed). It felt a bit cheaty to stack them up, but it sped up the pace a little.
All in all very fun and satisfying game :)
Wow, really good! I love the sound, the animations, and the gameplay is very cool too! Some notes: The character was pretty slow and there was a sprint mode. Just make that the default, or make it a toggle. My left pinky hurts from holding down LShift... Also, [the Escape Sin](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/ld55-hell-binder/public-service-announcement-escape) was committed here too...
Thank you for playing! Love to hear that you enjoyed it!
@thoastbot If you want to retry you could give the windows build a chance :) Yeah its getting laggy quite fast on webbuild... Amazing, 30 minutes is really a long time to play a LD entry. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
@stmatn Haha Ive seen the bug happening and deprioritized it until the end as I had other gamebreaking stuff. Really funny to see you found it as it only happens on the bottom row, right?
@pebkac Thank you for playing. Yes in future Ill just do sprint speed as default. Good point. Ohhh I didnt know about the ESC Sin. Will look into it on future entries. Thanks!
The game was fun :D but I had a bug with the green cube with the star. I had made all the materials but it still showed as red.
Really nice! Wasn't really easy to understand what was missing to summon and what the ressource I had. But crazy the content you did in such a short time.
Oh, forgot to mention: you can only see how many diamonds you have, not the other resources. A bug, I presume? It's really hard, as @swerky said, to see what you need for the next Summon...
@pebkac If found that with the `H` button their is a window with all the ressources.
This game is insane! So much to do! With the graphics the music all the constructions. When I appeared I just didn't pay attention to the path so it took me a while to find the central machine with the objectives, haha. But even lost I had fun with my demon workers and machines... so all goood :thumbsup: Loved it!
Game was fun, the UI could be a indicate when a build can or can't be done a bit better, and the "1" in the resource count are almost invisible ! But the game was great GG !
Wow you built automation game in such a short period of time :O AMAZING! Was enjoyable to play, I like graphics the most. So much depth for a game jam game too
I think i could play this for hours. Great work!
Awesome factory builder, our team had a ton of fun building our demon work force. Incredibly well put together as a compo entry. Excellent work!
Awesome! I really want to play this game again. Automation game in only 48 hours is incredible! This game has lots of content. Very great! The performance was getting bad mid-game, probably because I was playing in browser with... a *few* tabs. Also at first I was confused on what to do but I shortly figured it out.
Overall, very nice game!
Great game. I love factories game :D Enjoyed it
this game is build in 2 days? unbelievable !!! wish for more content of this game
When I started the browser version, it started with a loud sound glitch. Scared the sh*t out of me XD Awesome game btw. I love a good factory game
Wow! It's unbelievable that you made it just for 2 days! It's really good. The only thing what was annoying is character speed - it seems so slow :(
Very impressive, map, graphics, music, UI, etc :-O bravo!
Cool game, I liked it!
when i'm start the game there's too much information to gain at once. almost feel like you playing Factorio for 10hours then playing it again after months of abstain, its too much information cause mostly you forgot what you've been doing the last time play it. maybe for this game you should tell the player what to do step by step and not directly, ex: maybe start from 1 building then as the game progress unlock new building and ores, maybe unlock it after you completed a request. so that the player learn while also playing and keep engage them. i dont like laser SFX i think its too much and too noisy. doesn't comfort neither satisfy my ear. Overall its a good game, keep up the good work!
Looks very complete and polished, and a lot of features, well done
Really enjoy Factorio, so this was a great game to me. I enjoyed the variety of items and having them all combine at the end for the last one.
Thank you all for your feedback!! @cody-holt @p-r @racts-studio @kirass @sevansevan @pupirka @lelek-hunor-kadosa @olddog @gorr @altaf-creator @adam-konig @katelyn-trout @worldofmush @holyperceval @pseudonclide @rakowu @swerky
Yes so my main takeaway is a little less content but more tutorial. Hope to do better next time! Had also luck that the webexport worked fine this time, altough it was very laggy.
very epic, very nice Screenshot 2024-04-20 235418.png
Crazy amount of content for a gamejam gam. Good Job!
is the game broken...? i have all the materials to make the ludum dare 55 thing but it will NOT let me make it
@muse22 its bugged if i remember correctly, just get from each item a certain amount and you will be able to finish it
