Currently the level only requires the right and up symbols. Other than that I believe there are some symbols which change their behaviour based on the current tile? Overall interesting idea, I would love to have some kind of reminders as I test out the symbols so that I don't need an external paper/notepad to keep track of the symbols. I had fun trying out this game.
A great entry for the jam. I really liked idea of both building and transporting the goods. The building speed felt a bit off but other than I had a lot of fun and my friend stated that watching was quite fun, so that's also great!
I liked the overall polish, however not much is going on in the game. The color palette is nice. The game feels a bit slow for my taste. Nice entry nevertheless.
I got stuck in third room, but the graphics and atmosphere is nice.
Nice game, the controls feel very good. I had problems passing some levels but overall nice entry for a game jam! I liked the simplicity.
A nice game to play. It has slow expansion mechanics which is nice to progress. I really like the atmoshpere a lot. The game becomes a bit repetitive after a while, but I think there is a solid foundation to build upon. Genre blend is also well thought out. Considering this is a 3 day jam this game looks fairly complete.
A really great entry, it is complete with all the puzzle designs and everything. The music generated by the solutions are also enjoyable. The diagonal movement of the circuits are a bit confusing but overall it is great game for a game made in the jam period.
This is a complete game and it presents a clear goal without needing a tutorial. THe assets are well made. The animations and the enemy antigen behaviour is a bit jerky, otherwise nice game!
Very impressive amount of content for three days. The idle genre always have styles to explore and this I think is a successful exploration. A lot of tooltiping is needed to understand what each button does but other than it's a good game to pass time.
Great game, seems very completed the idea is innovative. However, the game gets repetitive very quickly. The interesting characters you get also counts alos takes up hero slots and the combos I got were not very exciting. Also: * Game difficulty does not increase very well (this is a jam issue of course) * The combats can drag on too much, especially bosses. A simple fast forward button might solve this.
While my review can look negative I enjoyed your game alot. It is actually it one of the best games I played in this jam. A great complete game which I'm sure I'll draw inspiration from in my future games. Thank you for this entry.
Very nice game idea, I really love the random wagons mechanic, levels are well designed. I wished it had better platformer controls so I could keep playing more. Great work!
Very nice idea, I did not understand the bars showing food or wood(or they did not affect gameplay) but still had fun. It can be massively improved upon. Good work!
Nice parallax effects, the gameplay is simple but fun, I love the tutorials and the newspaper theming. The game was harder than I expected. Graphics are nice but I think they have some dpi issues. I love the turkey's sound effects. Good work!
I love the choices between the levels, such a rouge-lite feel. Nice game overall. The mana generation is kind of bugged though... Good work. Also, if you used Unity 2020.1 and failed to build for HTML5 without development build, you can turn off the compression in publishing settings.
Good game, I love the minimalist sounds and graphics. The camera movement makes clicking too hard for me, still a fun game! :D
Very nice game with no bugs, very nice for a 3 day game. I'd love to have a character progression system though and permadeath. Very clean UI as well.
The colors of the graphics were really relaxing and nice. I enjoyed the music throughout the game, it never bothered me. It is a really impressive game. Great work!
Very relaxing game, however the rules for me were not clear, I did not understand why my leaves died etc. But it's a chill game and they're always welcome for me! Nice game, I quite liked the core idea. Can be improved after the jam a lot.
It was a nice game, I did not survive a lot. The combat can be improved, it did not occur to me where I was shooting at(Maybe right click aligns the vessel and then shoots instead of insta-shooting) The premise and the presence of theme is very good. Nice game overall!
It reminded me of a board game called CV. It was really fun good job! I liked the 3d models of the board pieces a lot.
Great graphics and the Tarot is used very well as the events. The presence of the theme was a bit loose but the game is solid so it's not that important. If the game was complete it would be in top 50 for certain. But you have a great foundation to build upon. Good luck on your quest!
Nice game, but with an extraordinary death sfx haha 😃 . The controls and the combat can be improved. I liked the random generation. It works very nice. I love the select from 3 items system at the end of the levels. Art is very good, the animation can be improved. I liked the atmosphere with the dripping sound as well. Nice work!
This game has a great narrative, even if I died several times, I tried again and again to see what will happen with my decisions. The writing is exceptional for a jam game(dialogue can be improved but the general premise is perfect) This was the best game I played this jam. Excellent work!
I liked the premise. However I could not understand why sometimes my life would go up or down even though I add the same building. The tutorial was nice but perhaps not clear enough. The artstyle is very good for Jam (they're even better than considerable amount of the mobile games I played so a + for graphics!) The audio was nice and I did not turned it off. Great work!
Nice pixel art, I liked the strategy aspect of growing the colonies and waiting for correct time to claim them. For graphics, I would reccomend doing a pixel perfect one as the aliasing can mess some of fonts etc. (But this is just personal aesthetics taste) Nice work!
I like the upgrade system a lot. Kept playing for a while. The graphics are jam-graphics but the shooter feel is on spot. I liked sound effects as well. Nice work for 48-hrs!
While it's incomplete, I like the metroidvania nature of it. Maybe increase the amount of upgrades? Also the animations can use an upgrade. Nice work!
Great narrative story. I played two times to see the both endings. Really capturing story. The swipe thing is not working correctly at times on computer though. Great game, keep up good work!
Nice game, I played quite a while and enjoyed doing so. There are some bugs here and there but the writing is nice and there are enough random generated content to keep me interested. Nice work!
This game implements the theme in a very direct way. However it was confusing that it both consumed ammo AND health. Shooting feel was better than most Jam games I played. Also I love the graphics and it's great that you made this in a weekend. While I could not understand whether it worked, you managed to implement a shop system as well. Nice game!
I love the music, they're great, however I did not understand why the game was over for me. Also I could avoid the monsters all the time. As the @justalocalhero said, the most fun part of the game was the combat but player is punished for entering them(even if you can win)
Overall the artwork is great, the animations are cute and nice work. Still the main menu is playing in the background and I have to say again that it's a great music!
I liked the concept as well, you have to be very fast, and it's fun to try to balance your economy and military. The game worked bug free for me which is quite impressing given this is made in a small amount of time. The graphics need an upgrade but it's a jam game so it's OK. Good job!
The game was nice, it is hard to design management games in small time frames, still this had meaningful decisions in it. I liked idea of memory and pleasing subsribers. Good job!
This game was very good, and I actually had fun when playing it. The feeling of survival is well represented. Those tiny dots represented living humanity in my eyes. Great work! Definetely play this one again.
This is a good game base, but it needs a lot of improvement. The graphic style is cool and simple, and I understood the purpose of the game immediately. However you can improve this game a lot. My main issues: * The game is effectively endless if both players know what they are doing * There is no strategy invovled other than chewing up other players area, and this leads to the problem decscribed in the first. Nice job for someone new!
Very simple yet still fun. Graphics are really cute :D GJ
This was a nice game to play, and I like games with responsive controls. Only problem was character blurring during crouch(maybe you left bilinear filtering for that sprite on?) The game was short yes, but this is a game jam and it is not a problem for me. I also recommend you to opt out of graphics if the assets are used from the Unity though. Fun game, this is a very good entry for your first LD.
I liked this game a lot. The controls are very smooth for a management game. The crash was a bit buggy perhaps, nevertheless a very solid entry!
This is the best game I have played in this LD, and I have to stop to keep reviewing other games. The mechanics are awesome, the art and sound are great and coherent. This is one of the top tier games.
I liked the way the health system works, very innovative. The game was easy, but hey, who has time to play test in a jam right?
This was quite good, and I actually played quite a lot. The mechanics are smooth, however the tutorial tips act buggy at times. Overall great game!
I really liked the simple idea, its novel and fun to play. The graphics are nice and I kept playing as I loved the challenge the game provided. However the mouse controls are bit wonky and caused a lot of misclicks. But this is a very good game for a jam! Keep up good work.
The game is cool, however I must say that the scope is a little too much for LDJam hence most of the systems presented in the game are basic. Maybe you could focus on a single aspect of civ-building and create a more complex system. Also, connection with the theme is kind of loose, as I never felt the space is constrained during my play. On the other side, again the scope of the game is quite large and it's great that you managed so much in so little time. The graphics are nice and clean, I can understand what each building represents without clicking on them. The UI design is simple and on to point in most cases(a little bit of stat-updating would make it excellent).
This is a quite large game done in very limited time, for that you have my respect. Well done!
Very nice graphics and a fun gameplay, nice interpretation of the theme. The music is nice, the thing seems competitive in multiplayer, I agree that we should be more actively hinder the progress of our enemies. Like destruction of airlocks etc. Well done!
Wow this is a great thematic game for a jam. Loved the artstyle and the music. The gameplay is pretty standard but the story kept me playing, great work!
Game was hard, and some of time I did not understand why I hit the obstacle in the first place. Humor is nice, the graphics are very good for a jam game.
The mechanics of the main player are quite good. The camera movement is fluid, it is a bit on the easy side. The gameplay does not change through the run, and I did not felt an increase in the difficulty level. The graphics are good and coherent, however sometimes blur disenchants the pixel-art feeling sometimes. Music is well done, however the timings of the sound effects are bit wonky.
Overall, a complete game with a great core mechanic. Well done!
Cool game, I liked the artstyle, and random generation is working pretty well too. There was a bug with shoothing where sometimes clicking does not shoot. The musics are simple and comfortable to listen, it fits with the mood of game well, this is also true for sound effects. Mechanics-wise there is nothing novel, but it's a good combination of the 2d shooter/dungeon crawler. I liked the designs of enemies as well. Add some mechanics/enemies/polish and it would be a quite fun game to pass time.
A fun math game with good challenges. I loved the gameplay loop. Artstyle is very good and consistent. I liked the sound effects as well. It is very simple and interesting. Also seems complete, which is very rare for a jam game, well done!
The concept is nice, I could not understand the mechanics fully, but the AI is very competent and it feels like a challenge. The jokes are great, good humor and mood. Well done!
Very nice game with great voice over and characters. Great way to approach the theme. I liked the sound effects and visuals, the fighting mechanics are a bit clunky but it can be fixed. Well done, near perfection!
The music is nice, but the game feels a bit lacking in terms of user feedback. Could become something!
Nice art, the sound effects are not equalized properly though. The idea is interesting, and I liked the progressive inclusion of the mechanics. Well done!
Nice game, controls are fluid, the graphics are consistent. The difficulty scales great. I'd love some extra mechanics but very nice for a game jam!
Nice game, I liked the small texty bits. The music selection was great, hoped you composed them but anyway. The art looks good and while I expected a bit more mechanics than explore->conquer->colonize cycle(why are we conquering uncolonized worlds I did not understand). I played it and finished it and I hoped I uncovered some sort of story. If you write a simple story which we learn more about what happened to our melancholic guy, that would be great and I would definetly play. Well done, nice calming game!
The one is the most complete game I played on LD41. The level design is suberb and mechanics are clever. The simple art style and music makes it easier to play. I enjoyed this game a lot and its perfect on many aspects. Excellent work!
Fun driving mechanics. The procedural generation is also great. I like the soft "aim" of the game where you just kind a stroll around. The graphics are nice as I like the low poly style. I'd like some more roguelike elements which can complement the soft aim, where you can do many things but nothing is the goal. Overall very good for a jam game.
I liked your idea a lot. It's interesting to repair ship using the logic gates, I hoped there were more challenges teaching about different type of gates. I would play it if gets expanded in the future. Well done!
Haha I couldn't get far in the song, but I liked the graphics and animations. Song was great too, however I couldn't do anything in the waiting phase, or I could unlock items and skills etc. Maybe a bug? Still great game, very good for two days!
The cards looked polished, I liked the sound effects but hoped there was music... I loved the mechanics you introduced to simple space shooter. The game is well balanced and there are diverse effects. Art on the cards illustrates the purpose clearly. Great work!
It was interesting, music was nice, the graphics seem finished. With some UI polish and some particle effects it could be an eye candy. Well done!
Overall a good game, the difficulty ramps up too fast, at least for me. I loved the simple combination. The music and sound effects are also on the point. Well done!
Dude why there should be someone who needs to carry me all the time :D I walked once and then died :( nice game, I really enjoyed it!
It's a bit easy. However I liked the art on the cards, but it needs more variation on the cards(even if it's just level). Art on the submarine is good as well. It was a breeze to play. Most thing I liked about the game is the music as it was very coherent with the mood.
Pretty nice mechanics, it was simple and mostly bug free, well done!
I hoped I could play this without idling, but well it's an idle game. Interesting idea to employ cards.
Wow it was one of the funniest game I played in LD41, it was challenging I loved the sound effects, the shoot feeling was there. I hoped there was more content from science fiction aspect. Other than that the general mechanics was solid. Progression feeling was good, weapons were cool. Great game!
The mechanics are well made, I also liked the AI it certainly proves a challenge! I like card games a lot, since they require more mechanic design and this is the best card game I played in this jam. Fits well with the theme.
Great game, near perfect made me remember a particular Hollywood movie about an agent couple. The combat is neatly done, the dialogue is well written. Action keeps me busy and interesting. Level design is a bit repetitive but this is a jam game so what. All in all it's a great game with polish.
Excellent game, one of the best in the Jam! I liked the art style, the animations, simple mechanics. It is polished such that can in be published commercially. Great work, near perfection. One small "meta" is some of the (even expensive) plants do not aim, so its easier to capitalize on them.
I like strategy card games, and this game show much potential. You can combine many differen skills, or even draw new cards when using old ones. Two aspects I did not like is the cooldowns(that can be easily balanced, and overall graphical quality, but for a Jam game its good) Overall game is good with solid mechanics!
The game art looks amazingly consistent. I wanted to learn and progress further into the story. Loved the mystery theme. However I did not get which genres it mixed(Farming Sim/Mystery maybe?) Still considering the games I played this game has the best atmosphere.
* The theme correlation is well * RTS mechanics are working * The particles effects are nice * Music is good
* Models are non-existent, there is a lack of textures * Lacks a challenge
Overall it is a good start, maybe you can utilize the clicker aspect more, such that even attacking and moving is somehow "repeatedly click based". Although there are problems with the implementation and art, it was easy to play and one of the few games I managed to finish.
It has good sense of humor with excellent pixel art graphics. I liked the game but it was hard for me and I stuck at the first level. Liked the music and effects. Very interesting combination indeed.
We had very similar ideas, hah! Nice game, there are some bugs apparently so I could not progress after a while. Still great for a 3-day jam game!
I liked the gameplay mechanics a lot, a simple combination well done in the mechanics sense. It was fun to play and that is probably the most important aspect. There are issues with collision detection and some menu bugs(construction menu open in fighting phase). However one thing that I think can improve the game greatly is the selection of color palette. The colors feel a little muddy. Still it was a great game to play.
Very good looking game, the dash has to be bit polished but the hit feedback is so satisfying. The artstyle is pretty nice and animations look fluid most of the time. It is fun to play, instead of long levels more content would be made this game a 5 star in overall.
It's very hard because enemies come from different directions. I liked the smooth gameplay a lot. Very polished, could use more interesting game mechanics though. Still very polished and smooth in the end.
Well made game and polish! One thing is the claw takes forever to stabilize, so it turned out to be a waiting game for some sections. However the graphics are well made, well polished. The game mechanics makes sense and it has a skill based component.
I had fun, it was fun to quickly try and calculate in fastest possible way.(And leave yourself several paths) The graphics could be better and there was no feedback whether I was getting hit or not. Overall I like the concept well.
It looks well for a 3 hour game, however I find the user feedbacks a tad unintuitive. It took me a while to understand which beat to move. Great puzzles though! Very good for a 3 hour game.

One of the games I played to completion. The underlying mechanics were easy to understand and I enjoyed the game. Well done!
Color Critters by F1Krazy 2024-10-24T17:19:30Z ♥ 1
A very well made and polished game. I had fun and the puzzles were well designed. I wish there was a death animation for the critters. Also liked how the tutorial progressed and introduced the mechanics.

Wow, really fun game I enjoyed it a lot. Its difficulty was also nice Really liked the idea to combine different towers. Also the cute enemy noises was nice.

Your pixel are is great and has real character to them! Art is superb. I agree regarding the font usage. Also I couldnt improve the tiers of my resources no matter which upgrades I took, played like 5 games. This can turn into an interesting breeding/growing game.
Sworm by p-r 2024-10-23T22:03:18Z ♥ 1
Wow the game was hard but fun! It would better to introduce the killing mechanic on a simpler level. I really liked the "contnious" snake aspect. Could be a juicy arcade game with more polish.
Ants Assemble by LGK-Productions 2024-10-23T22:00:09Z ♥ 1
Relaxing RTS game, controls are quite fluid, I would love a bit more feedback. The art is clean and the ambient sounds were a nice touch.
Perhaps the colony can be expanded with other defensive buildings etc. I really liked the slow building and upgrade aspect of the game.
Tiny Brigades by nataku92 2024-10-23T21:19:32Z ♥ 1
The game is so cool! I really like card game entries as they're challenging to make both mechanically and content wise. Really loved the simple art as it all fits together.
Improving the minions with additonal is such a nice concept, also it was relatively easy to get going after the first few turns.
Thank you for this game and thank you for spending your time to write instructions in the game ^^ Great jam entry

I really liked 2.5 D aesthetic, one of the more uniqe genres as well. For some reason the frame rate felt too low but I was not sure if it was my PC. Great entry!

A quite fun game, I really liked the art style. The progression through the "ages" was fun as well, even though it led to my eventual demise

The controls were a bit hard but overall I enjoyed the game the graphics and music are atmospheric. It is a very well made game.

It seems it has quite complex systems for a jam game, I am amazed by the systems, though could not understand the purpose and how to control my people exactly. They seem to be doing fine even after a long time. Nice game!
