As a guy who barely knows how to make a video game (I'm just a musician meh), I had some trouble finding the right answers. Well, everything linked to hard work, depression and sleep deprivation seemed to be the good ones, but it could be a lot of other jobs than game dev as well, so I'd say it may lacked a bit of consistency (yeah I'm just trying to find some bad things but I enjoyed playing it). The art style and animation were very good ones, and the theme was pretty much the core of this funny game so good job overall !
Good ship designs, good audio as well, but to me it lacked a bit of difficulty and clarity. There's a lot of different bonuses, which is a good thing, but since you're focused on your ship, you don't really have time to think about what you just get. The bonuses are also a bit confusing because of the background, I thought several times they were stars ^^" ! Appart from that, it was a good experience, good job guys :) !
Like some other people already said, it was fun and nice to play, I especially love the apocalyptic atmosphere you transcribed here. But like some said too, there's too much text and people to choose for each step, and you just stop reading the text after a while, just focusing on the stats. I know it would probably have been way longer, but you could have made some random events linked to these backstories, so reading them would have been part of the gameplay much more ? I don't know, it's just a thought ^^. Good work overall !
Some really good level design out there and the art really sent me back to the SNES era and the old Zelda games. I'd say this is one of the best entries I've seen so far, good puzzles and good ideas. The loop used for the music tho was too short in my opinion. As good as it is, it gets quickly a bit annoying, which is sad because the loop was well executed and the music well made :/ The player might have been a little bit faster. Anyway, I really liked the game, good job guys :D !
I truly loved this entry, even if you are horrible human beings making a game about sacrificing kitties for the sake of this dude. The graphics and animations are excellent, music discrete but fits the game, and the level design has some brilliant ideas in my opinion. So yeah, that's one the best. it is :p !
