Mh, I'm not really good at this game. I barely survive 10 sec The really low mouse sensitivity is really annoying. I got a kind of soft lock on the first try, the screen going all black, but without a crash or error message. But like the creepy ambiance !
Really interesting mechanic ! I'd love to see more levels with complexe puzzles :D Great game !
Really nice good game :D Had a lot of fun clicking at full speed trying to survive. Very fun !
@btwj Yeah we tried to make them wider, but we had some responsivness problems ^^' We had some trouble trying to make all infos fit in the screens
@pauljs We tried different techniques to make more obvious feedbacks. Maybe we'll add some sounds to notify the player. But we'll don't have much free time from now
@simonhutchinson Thanks a lot ! And yeah, the music is just a really streched music :D We didn't made it btw. I got it on freesound.org Speaking of it, maybe we should have added sources for the sound, even if it's free to use
@claramakesamess Thanks for the review ! The game need some balancing, and citizen count is maxed at 100. If below 100, the number of citizen increase (by things of life, you know :D)
@matita if solar panels don't work maybe it's because it's night time ! We should have put more obvious clues to indicate when it's night time.
although, the administrator thing is just one of the random messages for the ambiance, sorry :D
YEAH We got more than 20 votes!! Thanks everyone !
@justinooncx We had trouble finding succint explanation for the solar winds effect. In fact, it make you loose the same amount of energy that you are currently using/producing. We tried to recreate the effect of short circuit, the more electricty flow you have in your circuits, the more damage you'll get. So we make a sum of the absolute values of energy production AND consumption, and subtract your stored energy by this value.
Is it clear enough :sweat_smile: ?
Really simple gameplay, a bit boring maybe. But I have to admit, I laughed a bit at the end :D
Cool game ! But, I didn't understand how to regain power, sometime my power increase but I don't understand why. Also, mouse controls are hard
Nice game, really like the theme interpretation. I got hooked on the game, even though I can't get past the 4th wave
I'm stuck at the very beginning. I don't understand how I can give the mug to the boss, I don't know what to do with the Notepad :(
Pretty nice concept. be careful, I accidently clicked the "play" button without block in the loop and the game immediatly crashed. But still, well done for 72h !
One of the cleanest games I've played so far! It could work really well as a full game. Great work !
Awesome ! Love the visuals and the music ! The gameplay is very simple but effective. I want more levels !
The mouse control is waaaaay too sensitive. A small nudge in my mouse and the camera spin 10 times. And I can't figure how to go beyond the second plateform, too bad, it could have a great gameplay behind this :( The controls of the ball are a bit odd. the inertia might be way to big when in air, and a bit of inertia when on ground could be nice.
Very interessting mood. It's not quite my type of game alas !
Nice concept, but too hard for me !
Amazing visuals ! the game is really engaging, I want more !
I really like the idea ! Playing random henchman number 941 in a spy universe. The game is really hard though, can't win the first level the leggit way :(. btw, pretty funny game !
funny game, too much pressure because of the music. can't focus on the puzzles !
Simple but fun !
Amazing concept and gameplay ! It would be an amazing full fleshed out game ! And the SuperHot ambiance is on point !
Really interesting concept ! I would like to see this as a full game ! The art style is nice too, remind me a bit of old-schools level selection menus.
The graphics are really clean ! The level might be a little bit to easy (or am I really good ? who knows) It has a kinda Zelda like mood, love it
Nice ! The swim controls/physics are great ! The feeling being stranded is here. I don't know if that's a bug but I don't have any sound, even though you enabled the audio rating. Speaking of which, maybe a beeping sound with varying pitch depending on distance when looking at the tracker would help. I sometimes had a hard time to feel if I was getting closer or farther away by just watching the flash frequency. Also the bloom can make reading the tracker UI a bit difficult depending on the camera orientation.
Cute visuals
Really nice concept, a bit hard to drive when jammed but the jammer collision is very generous, so it works ! I managed to get thrown in the sky at 6000km/h though after hitting a rock. Overall really fun game !
Thanks for everyone's reviews ! That's weird @braeden, you should be getting money once you upload the photos. Maybe it's a bug we haven't encountered yet. I'll be looking into that if I find the time to do so.
Nice dynamic soundtrack and environment ! I find it really hard to aim though, maybe it could have been easier in 2D ?
Really interesting mix, similar to Balatro but with waves. With deeper signal combination mechanics it could be a really fleshed out game !
Amazing world building, glory to YSS ! Good voice acting and humour. Love the submarine concept, reminds me of one of my own
Really interesting take on the theme. I like the concept but damn that's hard, maybe the time limit is a bit too much for me. I'd love to play it while taking my time
Really liking the artstyle and the soundtrack!
Really nice atmosphere, I had a good time trying to understand the lore !
