nice job, really enjoyed how the upgrades let you do deeper and opened up the gameplay more. The smoothness of the loop really stuck out. Thanks for putting this together. I think if the driving was a bit smoother it would really help the gameplay.
wow, really well done. I saved her! haha. The art and retro feel is right on. There was one thing where the 2nd level enemy, you hop on a platform and the enemy is above you, it can still hit you sometimes when moving back and forth. So maybe shorten the hit box a pixel on the bottom. And with carrying the girl, if expanded, I'd like to see a differentiating mechanic where carrying her forces you to do something or use the environment in a different way that still helps you progress.
Good job team, that's quite a game to make in the short time frame. Definitely felt like it was hard to direct my choices with reasoning behind them, but that can just be not understanding the mechanics well enough yet. Thanks for making it, props to the artists and programmers!
Amazing graphics, really likes the feel of driving the drub around to. Would have loved some sound effects, would really have rounded out the experience more.
I felt like I was really playing a game made by someone who likes birdwatching. reminds me of those Fear to Fathom games. I was also waiting for a jump scare. At the end i was just hoping to be dragged under water. WHY WOULD I FISH after getting creeped out by the swan haha. And I mean that in jest, just found it funny to be fishing in such a creepy environment. good job
Really well done. Felt challenging but possible. Engaging obstacles and gameplay. And the ending made me smile. Really really well done. Not sure was feedback I could give, def not shooting down or up felt unintuitive at first, but it also made the challenge just right.
Really nice game loop, had me going and going. Was wondering if collecting the same artifacts again really mattered? Once I switched from a shovel to the machine, it felt really nice! The upgrade process definitely keeps you hooked.
gave me a good chuckle to see a reverse space invade esque game! One thing, i'd switch the shoot button and bomb to something else. C and Z felt really weird, I'd like to play with 2 hand but I either had to 1 hand or use 2 in a weird position. But really cool!
I really enjoyed it and the guitar theme switch us great! I did find the oxygen mechanic to be quite punishing and having to wait for health at top to get repetitive. Maybe instant health stats after getting back up top? Overall, great entry!
Holy moly it is supercool. I know for sure i'll never work for NASA now haha. But really felt the mood as i tried to figure out how to order everything to reach the objectives. Wish there was a speed up option sometimes because it probably took me 25 tries on the 3rd level with asteroids lol.
Nice, had fun solving the puzzles using the depth mechanic. Wanted more levels! Maybe a way to stop depth being used to cause the last moves to be done instead of placing 1st char then making way to 2nd objective could make more interesting puzzles.
Very good, graphics are pristine. I found the first level very hard though, could have used some hp or check points for us losers who struggle lol. But def game has a wow factor.
Enjoyed the mood, music, and game! Ran into 2 big mines covering a path and it gave me a good laugh. How did you generate the level, manually drew it or through code? -Moo
