I thought the level deconstructing itself was very cool, but there are too many different control schemes and the idea get boring very quickly. I feel like it would have been much more interesting if you kept the level falling apart idea, but turned it into an exploration game instead.
While the game seems interesting, the missiles are almost impossible to dodge and its extremely unclear where one is going, and mistakes are punished too harshly.
Excellent game, but I feel that the ghost maze was just too difficult to get through. Despite this, one of the best entries to LD48.
Annoying, difficult and based almost entirely on luck.
I never got building collision to work, sadly. It's a little more fun if you pretend you can't place buildings on top of each other, but alas, things did not go well.
I'm thinking of adapting some of the gameplay elements for a more complete game sometime in the future. I wanted to put in a line that designated what a building was receiving power from, but never had time. For that matter your relays can get blown up and the buildings will still function despite technically not being powered.
Simple, short, but at least playable, if a bit silly.
Not the most original thing ever, but the execution is superb and the game is very fun. There are a few balancing issues with being swarmed at later levels, but still one of the top LD48 games that I've played.
While simple, this was actually a rather fun, amusing little game, if difficult to keep going for more than a few minutes.
I kept trying to get into the ceiling but couldn't figure out what you were supposed to do and so had to cheat to see the ending. Apparently you were supposed to get into the ceiling so now I'm just confused.
That's a weird bug with the postprocessing, I haven't seen that anywhere else. It seems similar to the other bug I had but it wasn't caused by postprocessing. The game is supposed to quit when you get swallowed by the black hole though.
If the game crashes on startup, I recommend double-checking you have openAL installed.
I really liked this, everything in the game felt like it fit together, even if the sound and graphics weren't the best ever. The representation of space as 3D was very clever. I like the backstory even if you didn't have time to include it, I hope you try to expand it one day.
Its unfortunate that the game is in such an unfinished state. Better luck next time!
I really enjoyed this, I think its a really innovative idea that generates very interesting visuals.
