Finally, someone made a build for Mac! Although the pixels on my screen are huge, it is a bit hard to figure out what to do at first. As soon as I figured out I could light a fire, it became much clearer. Awesome entry—well done.
Love the art style... It's a beautiful game.
I can see what you were going for. It's a little hard to aim at enemies and attack them. The pivot point of the cricket somehow feels off. By the time I turned around, it was in a totally different place from where I intended to go. It's got potential!
Simple, yet fun. Quite challenging, eventually.
Took me a while to figure out how to play and actually place planets, but it was fun to play. I think a tutorial would help to understand how the planet influences each other's temperatures. I couldn't quite figure it out.
It's definitely a challenge to avoid those eyes! Sometimes, it is hard to see where enemies are hiding, and it would be helpful to highlight which one caught you before the game returns to the main menu. It's a bit fast, from being dead to going back to the main menu. Music is also quite repetitive :)
It's a really awesome game! It's easy to understand and mesmerising watching the ants form trails... well done!
It's an interesting concept, although it's really small on my screen and there's no way to make the game larger from what I could see—enjoyed playing it, although I didn't get far.
I really like the game's style! Some affordances and feedback would be useful for interacting with buildings and seeing what's happening when fighting. Even some health bars would be cool.
It has a gorgeous style and is interesting to play. I would love to do a proper playthrough to see how the story unfolds.
It's an interesting game mechanic. However, moving to specific locations with the arrows is a bit limiting. It would be helpful to be able to read the clues on screen as well as listen to them or have a history log of past clues on what to do. The game is a little confusing at first.
The background introduction is fun to watch at the beginning, but it got cut off early. I wasn't too sure what to do, tho... changing cards didn't seem to yield much results. The text descriptions can show a bit faster as well, or maybe have it instantly complete when you click on the info box. Interesting concept, tho... I like the visual style.
I really enjoyed playing this game. It's fun to watch, although it seems a little tricky to get them to breed. Overall, it was a great game!
Valiant effort! I can see where the idea is going! The game would benefit from some sound, even very simple sound effects. Learning and getting better is the main goal! Keep it up!
Really cool concept... It definitely gets harder and harder! I enjoyed playing the game... well done!
I love the game's visual feel—it's a beautiful style. It tells an interesting story, but it would be good if the game was more interactive and animated. It reminds me of text adventure books from the past.
Interesting concept for a game - quite tricky to get everything lined up just right.
Unfortunately, I couldn't play your game. Maybe consider publishing to platforms other than Windows for a broader audience.
Aw, unfortunately, the game crashes on load on my system. Would have loved to give it a play.
Very much enjoyed solving the different levels, not too hard, but also makes you think a little :) The music... umm... nope! :)
Unfortunately, I couldn't play your game. Maybe consider people on platforms other than Windows
Easy to play, it was fun to run around and dig for fuel. It could do with some challenges or something that ups the game a bit.
Really like the maze mechanic in this game. It's a bit text-heavy at the start, tho. The fight mechanic is cool.
Interesting game... I won't be able to play this more than a few minutes tho.
It took me a while to grasp the concept, but I can see the potential. Perhaps it's easier to associate icons for the different types than just text tags?
Cool concept - bit difficult to play :)
Cool game! I love the art style and the gameplay mechanics. Kinda wished I could drag and drop the tiles :)
Wow, great game! Love the steal / use mechanic.
Cool game... could do with some audio :)
Cool idea! A little unsure at the start of what to do. The controls are quite sensitive, especially the spacebar to cast.
I can appreciate the fact that you're making a game for a retro computer, but that said, it's really hard to score the game if it's not actually playable. I was intrigued by the visual style of the screenshot, as it has a personality of its own. The look can definitely be achieved in a modern game engine, giving that '80s nostalgia and would reach a much broader audience to enjoy it with you.
Great looking game! It's an interesting take on the text adventure genre and cleverly combines it with psychology. I really appreciate the amount of work that went into working out the dialogue paths and recording voice-overs for all the dialogues. Unfortunately, I'm not very good with psychology, so I'm not all that persuasive :)
I like the idea of the game and the graphics look great... I got stuck in the book with no way to get out of it and continue exploring the environment. I collected the ingredients, but nothing seems to happen. The pages of the book also intersect with one another, making it impossible to read.
Gorgeous game from a graphics and audio point of view.
Really like the concept of the game... I can see some potential in expanding and polishing it. Few notes tho... movement is a bit slow, especially pushing things around. The game can also do with some state management, so each room doesn't reset when you exit and re-enter a scene.
I really like the art style of the game. I wasn't always sure where to go, and eventually the ladders stopped working, so my exploration ended. Good effort!
Overall, a pretty good game! Great idea on the drone - a bit hard to control, but eventually got the hang of it. It could do with some sound, unless it wasn't working on my computer.
Awesome game! I can see the potential of expanding this into more elaborate levels and puzzles.
Interesting concept, however, even if you can just get the basics done, it would be good to include some affordance to guide the player into the realm and set an expectation on what to do and what the goal is for the game. If you can get the gameplay solid, the graphics and sound can be forgiven.
Cool game... the card scroll view is quite sensitive, trying to use it with a trackpad. I've never been very good at selling and buying things :)
Unfortunately, I couldn't play your game. Maybe consider releasing for platforms other than Windows.
It's quite hard to play the game - the collection mechanism doesn't seem to work on all objects, and the goal of the game, or how to use the objects (if you can use them), isn't very clear. Some affordance in the game will go a long way, taking the player through a short introduction tutorial or guiding them on how to play the game.
Hi @justuspan. Thank you for the feedback... There was a tiny problem with the placement of the obstacle. It's meant to be placed on a full grid square, not the edge. This is now corrected. See if you can clear the level now :)
Bit tricky to play, but I like the retro Nintendo feel to the game!
Gorgeous game... unfortunately, I couldn't get very far as I can't understand Russian. Perhaps consider a language option for a broader English audience as well?
Not sure I quite understand the game :)
Good simple graphics, but not quite sure what to do
Would have loved to give it a try, but I couldn't get it to run on CrossOver.
Very interesting concept - takes a while to get money flowing.
Interesting concept... a lot of explosions that can take a while
Interesting theme for your game. The introduction story can do with a skip button if you've already gone through it. Though to get the one flame tucked away in the corner!
Cool game, can see the potential for a more elaborate adventure. Wasn't quite sure how it worked at first, but eventually got it figured out. What do I do with the collected objects?
It's a great concept for a game. The mechanics are a bit clunky, making it hard to understand what exactly to do. Some affordance would be nice to see the flashlight level.
