Very enjoyable! I did reach a point where I got another popup from my prescription giving me more time, however I could not click okay to continue. I had to quit playing. The click animation was moving the button, just couldn't get rid of the overlay. 5/5 would play again!
This was surprisingly fun. I really enjoyed playing this.

Good direction over all. Upgrades, scenery changes, and increasing difficulty are the next logical additions. Not a bad start for 48 hours at all though.Also, can he always look where the mouse is pointed? That would feel better too.
I liked that there were multiple endings. I got number 4 too many times, but it was rewarding when I finally got ending number 2. I assume you need to lose all power to get ending 1? You have a good gameplay base for an interesting single player campaign.
I really like the direction and theme here. If you expanded the gameplay and graphics of this, you could have a nice little robot strategy battle game here.
More mechanics for sure! Please expand.
Pretty fun little game, enjoyed looking for the items and seeing the people.
lol too many cooks, it takes a lot to make a stew.
Hi everyone, thank you so much for the feedback! TBH, I thought about charging for the mute button, but I didn't want to be too cruel. I just posted an updated v2 based on the feedback above. If any one is interested; this version has 3 changes in it.
1. Closer to classic Tetris fashion, the tetrominos now fall faster as the game progresses. 2. Fixed a bug with the text fields not rendering properly. 3. Added a new additional element of challenge on the capitalism side; ads.
The ads will now spawn on screen, right in your way of course. You have to click on them to get rid of them. If that isn't bad enough, getting rid of them also costs money. As the game goes on the ads will get more intrusive, spawning faster and costing more.
I am also working on tracking down the hidden feature above where the blocks get split up. I will post an update with that fixed once I figured it out. If I get a couple more comments about extra elements like the stock exchange, I will add that too!
Thanks again everyone!
Animation and progression. I really like the whole balancing act. But I need additional places to explore and grow.
These typing games remind me of my old Mario Teaches typing, I love it!
I love me some sims. Can there be an unlimited time mode or something longer?
Simple, but enjoyable. How about a 2p versus mode?
This is good. I could see this being an iPhone app that I waste hours and hours trying to 100% all the levels. Great work!
Hey Alex, I came to see the result of your efforts but it is only for Windows. No HTML or Mac ports? If you don't plan on doing release for Mac, then I may dig my old dell out or something. Either way, thanks for streaming and chatting about SOAD! it really helped me stay focused on the Jam, and I was happy with the result.
@alexrose That makes sense. If you just need it to be tested then I would be more than willing to test it on one of my Macs and send you the results. Especially if I can get some feedback on my submission in return, that would be BA. I can even include screen caps or whatev, you would just have to be willing to export a Mac.app file from Unity and send it to me.
Very throw back to old bomber man, love it!
No HTML or Mac version, cannot play and rate.
I think there was a typo in the help section. Did it say top left when really it meant top right?
This felt like a very interesting new take on frogger. The graphics, controls, and audio were on point too! I enjoyed it, nice work.
Very fun, and the audio was very satisfying the way it is paired with the game play. 5/5
Tried to play and rate but could not. No HTML or Mac version available.
Not a bad little game. Would be cool if there were something to mix things up. Maybe an optional mode that adds some sort of power ups or something. Also multiplayer!
Really wanted to try this, but no HTML 5 or Mac version available.
Reminds me of don't break the ice, nice.
No Mac or HTML 5 version, cannot play.
Very fun actually. The gameplay is simple too once you figure it out. Only feedback would be more details on the controls when you start it up, and maybe a way to remap them.
Hey @marcenat thanks for the feedback! We lost a lot of time Saturday and we were very rushed, so a lot of content either did not make it in the original or was broken. If you try the delta, you can see a huge difference. We had better assets for the ships ready, but never got to implement them :(
Both the cantinas and the audio were broken in the original. The market UI was not great either.
The delta has the cantinas and audio working properly. We also cleaned up the market UI and implemented a couple other things. The hovering issue is also a known bug. I think I was able to make the hover issue a little less prevalent in the Delta version, but I just never had time to fix it completely; there was always something more important to fix or work on. Even now, if I were to continue development there is so much I would love to be able to do.
I hope you enjoyed it, thanks again for playing!
Thanks for all the positive words everyone!
@marcenat Thank you for re-playing the delta! Feedback received. The sounds were made very hastily, I can turn down the volume on them a bit, or try to soften them. Should I consider raising the starting fuel amount to 5 or 7? Keep in mind that users can buy more fuel in the market.
I just released delta version 0.9.9 to implement some of the community feedback here.
@marcenat I have toned the volume down a bit, so hopefully that helps a little. I have also raised the starting fuel to 5!
@hilvon Yes balancing was hard with such short time, I just wanted to focus on adding all the features instead. Thank you for the recommendation on the hover bug though, it worked! I initially ignored this bug to focus on other things. I assumed it would be hard to fix. But that was rather simple, thanks again!
@greenandsubmarine Thanks for the feedback as well. I added labels to the markets so that it is more clear what you are buying. As for the quests, were you playing the original or the delta? Quests may not be working in the original but they should be fine in the delta. They are not accepted though, it is more like you just turn them in if you want. Every cantina has a set item they are looking for and a reward when you turn it in. I think I am going to add more details about how to play on this page.
Thanks to everyone who played, and gave us feedback! I am working on playing and rating all of your games. I am almost caught up!
Tried to play, but no HTML or Mac version available.
I agree that the UI is a bit cluttered and there was no clear goal or tutorial. I would definitely consider a revamp of the intro and how players get into and interact with the game. I did also get some lag, but I used the HTML version. I would consider optimizing or removing this option. I usually add an export type toggle so the game can detect if it is in HTML, Windows, or Mac format. You can then use this when rendering graphics or other content, may help manage the resources.
Tried to rate, but no HTML or Mac versions were available.

I attempted to play but no HTML or Mac version available, sorry.
Yes! This game looked good from the images and description, and it lived up to it. I enjoyed playing, even in a web browser. The one thing I would look forward too though is the ability to remap keys. Using right click is not desirable in my case. Keep up the great work!
I attempted to rate and play, however there were no HTML or Mac versions available. Was this made in Unity?
@melatonin My game (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/eclipse-galaxy-a-smuggler-story) got a comment similar to the second one. Sad, because it complemented the balance of my game which is the one thing I was kinda worried about. You can add it to your list of 6 if you want. I wanted to give this game a 5/5 on graphics and audio @astonishing, does anyone have links or proof the content was ripped from the Unity asset store?

This game was a little hard to figure out and play, could use more from a tutorial stand point. But it was very fun and clever once you got into it. And I really liked the art and music!

This is legit fun, I love the addicting gameplay. Great work! If you expand on this, I would definitely be looking forward to it. I would like to see more items, maybe something like procedural item generation for instance. Additional game modes / mechanics would extend gameplay a lot. Could you also do random shop keepers that pop up, maybe kinda rare? Say they have room to buy a certain number of items, just a few or so and you have a timer to pick what you want to sell. Lots of places to go with this. Nice work!

Oh man, I wanted to try this but there is not an HTML or Mac version available.
I really enjoyed moving these bricks around, interaction felt great! Nice work.
This is quite possibly the best game I have played in this Jam so far!
This was surprisingly fun! I enjoyed building the dungeon and watching my guy expire it. I would love to see this expanded, maybe force the player to put down some traps and stronger enemies.
Really interesting, I would like to see this expanded. Maybe special items or something to clear lines.
Nice little game. Health kits need to be a thing.
Excellent idle game! Beat the game and it felt like it flew by. You should add an endless mode with more activities.
I really liked this. The only issue I see is that there are no choices to be made, so even though rolls are random there is no thing you can do but let the game play out. Give us some sort of choice like items to use or stats to allocate. I would also love a 1 player vs robot mode!
Mac or web build?
I played this a lot longer than I thought I would. I would love to see more content too! My advice is to balance this a little to be easier and faster at first, then make it get harder and harder as you go. And also add more weapons and maybe traps, just more content in general. Nice work!
Mac?
