Frost Punk vibes!

The sound is really fitting. Definitely challenging to win.

2024-10-07 20:40

love the vibe

anteavirus 2024-10-07 20:42

I like how simple it is, as well as the coldness of the atmosphere.

steags 2024-10-07 22:07

Clean and straight to the point, nice !

immad 2024-10-07 22:09

Simple yet effective, I enjoyed just waving the cursor around and watching the little creatures run

whysguy52 2024-10-08 02:24

not very difficult but i played it way longer than i should have LOL. Really fun to kill the little guys. Well done with the particle physics following the cursor too.

oh can't run it on chrome for some reason. had to use firefox

matt-swieboda 2024-10-08 02:27

i tried Brave (built on chrome) and firefox, wasn't working for me on that either :(

got this from the JS dev console if that helps:

``` DarkFuelWebBuild.loader.js:1 [libil2cpp] ERROR: Could not open Il2CppData/Metadata/global-metadata.dat DarkFuelWebBuild.framework.js.br:9 RuntimeInitializeOnLoadManagerInitializer: Failed reading 'RuntimeInitializeOnLoads.json' DarkFuelWebBuild.framework.js.br:9 RuntimeInitializeOnLoadManagerInitializer: Failed reading 'ScriptingAssemblies.json' DarkFuelWebBuild.framework.js.br:9 [Physics::Module] Initialized fallback backend.

DarkFuelWebBuild.framework.js.br:9 No GlobalGameManagers file was found at , quitting player!

DarkFuelWebBuild.framework.js.br:9 ```

oh, i think it's this: ``` Uncaught (in promise) SecurityError: Failed to read the 'caches' property from 'Window': Cache storage is disabled because the context is sandboxed and lacks the 'allow-same-origin' flag. at m.UnityCache.E.connect (DarkFuelWebBuild.loader.js:1:12307) at new E (DarkFuelWebBuild.loader.js:1:6052) at m.UnityCache.E.getInstance (DarkFuelWebBuild.loader.js:1:10960) at m.cachedFetch (DarkFuelWebBuild.loader.js:1:15022) at D (DarkFuelWebBuild.loader.js:1:21101) at DarkFuelWebBuild.loader.js:1:26369 ```

Didn't launch on chrome, works on FF though some of the tutorial images were missing. I think I figured it out regardless.

Simple yet well executed idea.

Found the win mechanic to be a bit tricky, I had the most success just letting the light go out to lure them all in at once. I feel like there's probably more room for mechanical escalation, but the simplicity of the concept works well here too.

Nice work!

Yooo, this game is legit scary and intense! Simple setup, but very effective. The spider walking animation is creepy, and it gets real tense when they all move in on you! :fearful: Super cool, I enjoyed it!

hajpappan 2024-10-08 07:03

Really love the mood and simplicity in this. Seeing the little creatures trying to scurry away from my cursor light was really satisfying. Great job!

rascarcapackdev 2024-10-08 09:49

Thank you all for playing, glad you enjoyed! For those who had troubles loadind the game: I added a link to Itch.io, it's the same build... Does anyone know How it works if I want to patch the game? (first jam here)

docgeraud 2024-10-08 13:27

Simple game but super effective echanic. The mood and visuals are great too! It would have bee cool if the game was a little harder, or at least if the difficulty could ramp up quicker. But great enrty 😊

tan90 2024-10-08 14:07

I really love your art style! Your spider is so cute! However, I’m not sure why, but the web version won’t load for me. Maybe you could look into fixing this?

kirass 2024-10-08 17:34

Cool idea! Super!

rascarcapackdev 2024-10-08 18:00

@tan90 @matt-swieboda Thank you very much ! I uploaded a new build with a patch...hope it works!

matt-swieboda 2024-10-08 18:41

@rascarcapackdev thanks the itch.io works well for me!

deercat 2024-10-08 19:06

I had a really nice time with this one, the mood of this game is really cool and the visuals make me wonder what other stories this world could tell, It could be a nice idea to expand on this game add upgrades to the beacon etc. maybe Stellar initiative could ba an inspiration for you how to handle the game progression. But generally nice one!

unagiv 2024-10-09 13:22

Wow nice experience with this so good idea. Great atmosphere. Congratulations!

prolich 2024-10-09 13:33

One of the best atmospheres of the games I've played so far. Excellent job on the spiders-like creatures and their animations. The game feel is amazing. The only thing I noticed is that it took extra 5 seconds or so for the light to fuel the lamp, even though it's hovering over it. Very impressive!

An interesting idea, a simple but atmospheric game.

baconinvader 2024-10-10 07:45

Nice game! Liked the aesthetics, and the challenge of grouping the creatures together and timing your attacks. I thought I had taken them all out at once, but for some reason I still lost. Must have been a skill issue on my end.

dekajoo 2024-10-10 17:57

Nice game. I really like the procedural walk of the little creatures, it works well with the pixel art! Inspiring :) The delivery is smooth and the idea original!

qwertyuiop 2024-10-13 03:52

good

patomkin 2024-10-14 09:33

Kinda addictive and sound is so fitting, nice job!

prunus-padis 2024-10-14 10:07

Simple but nice game. Little too easy since i could just stall forver by keeping the beam on the light. The atmoshprere is good and the creatures feel alive. Some depth to the gameplay like multiple enemytypes orlights to defend and this could be really nice.

pepnou 2024-10-15 17:37

Nice atmospheric game. A bit simple at the moment, but the music/sfx is good as well as the little spiders. good job.

geoffroy 2024-10-16 12:41

Great experience ! Loved the simplicity of it, and the atmosphere works quite well despite the minimalism of the presentation.

pimping 2024-10-23 21:44

Great game, nice matching with theme, keep going

qab 2024-10-24 10:21

I love how the graphic was simple while the animation was surprisingly cool. The play was interesting, good job!
