i like that its infinite. procedural generation can be very difficult to get right. i did have some trouble in menu where i had to try multiple times to move the selector. very responsive controls in game though. i would like to see some kind of progression though. any kind of upgrades or something like that. great little game though. some controle changes and it would be great on mobile to kill time.
Wow i keep finding great games. well done. love the art style and the concept is simple yet solid. sound is great too and difficulty is a bit up there for me but i still liked it alot. i like controlling direction and jumping with separate hands but that's just me. controls seem pretty standard but they are responsive and that helps me alot. thanks and keep up the great work.
I like your game. simple yet effective game loop and very easy to understand and and enjoy. i would add some guidance of direction to next closest virus and home. maybe how many enemies still remaining. but great job. i had fun.
Really great job! great looking graphics with a simple enjoyable game loop. even has some social commentary with the pollution angle. love it and i'm coming back to this one.
Well done. this is the first one of the games i tested that i actually finished. graphics are cool but the base can use some work. almost plays like an idle game. i was sad when i won coz i just wanted to keep growing my army. i would do some kind of procedural spawning difficulty increase so the fun never stops. maybe give some more info in battle like how many of every unit is left on both sides. loved it though. gonna come back to this one. :)
I Struggled to learn the controls and after about the 10th death i understood what to do. its quite difficult from the start too i would gradually bring in the difficulty to allow more people to enjoy it before they rage quit.
I like the game, well done. reminds me of motherlode. Art is pretty good and didnt have any trouble. i might play it again when im done rating games to see how far i can get.
a classic digging game. easy to play but hard to master. the rolling stones get me every time. had fun though.
I like the style and sound and i could see it being a good game but i literally almost fell asleep while playing it. even with the loud footsteps. i would tone those down, speed up the character as it is painfully slow. maybe if you're going for a interactive graphic novel type del then create some intrigue with a bit more back story, make me care about the character, give me a clue as to what could be lurking, have someone die to bring home its lethality. for the limited time its not too bad though. flesh it out and i'm sure you could make it a winner.
so sad to lose all the little guys! :( no matter what they found a way off the island. even when i bult the sides to th top and kept the floor filled in they fell over the sides. i would like some more UI. some timer or score or something alike as you will be losing all of the islanders but would like to see how long i was able to keep them from killing themselves. like the concept. it could be great with some work.
Love it! Easy to play and quite addictive. great job on the music and different colors. feels like it would be even better on mobile. i could see myself wasting time on the toilet alot with this. great job!
I didn't get very far. the idea is good but controls are a bit cumbersome. maybe using one or two keys to switch between items and maybe having to tap the repair options instead of just looking at the bars going up and down. i could imagine a very hectic game of tap tap tapping to keep it all together and a shop from the start would be good. even if items are greyed out. just to see what i can spend my earnings on to motivate the player to keep going. some basic sounds would also do a lot for emersion. Great job with coding from scratch. i had the same issue and ram out of time but stil am glad to have submitted at least something. good on you for that too!
@joni-jarvinen Thanks. I ran out of time but the idea was that you would die in the cave no matter what you did. enemies would keep coming and there is only so much health to be had. i would fix the bugs but i was using construct3 and it was only free for the weekend.
@very-bad-bunny-studio i wanted to tweak the movement once i got the other stuff done but ran out of time.
As for respawning, i put the respawn logic for falling and enemies in two different places by mistake and only realised once the submission deadline had passed. i know what i did wrong but cant fix it coz i was using construct3 and the full free version only lasted as long as the jam.
The idea was that you would die in the cave no matter what you did. enemies would keep coming and there is only so much health to be had. i also had no time to finish the continuous enemy spawning and wanted more variety in enemy types. time flies when you are having fun but i will plan better next time.
thanks for the feedback. i appreciate you taking the time.
took me a second to figure out the ships were the enemies but great concept. felt like with a bit of luck and some strategy i could stay alive a good long while. the art is great but i see you opted out. still a great choice for the aesthetic. some sound would be great but i ran out of time with my submission and could not put in everything i wanted so you cant be faulted for the missing sound. great effort.
