I love the idea of this one! Very innovative. I think what would help this game to stand out is to have a tutorial level (ofcourse) and changing that pixel font to something more legible, I had hard time reading the menu :( But Overall, love the style, love the innovativeness of it, with more game juice and little bit of explanation this could be a really fun game! Maybe even with some story, focused on fighting rings etc, would be fun!
Dude this is so sick. Loved that the menu has it's own simulated version of the game, great idea! At first the premise reminded me of the film Hitchikers Guide to the galaxy! BUT man, this thought made me really excited for this type of a game, because if you could implement this, that would be so fun. Essentially adding crafting, and mobs are your source of resources! The way you have it setup right now is great but with that added, progression would be insane. Maybe like, have other islands around you that you can push towards for more unlocks. I'm thinking of forager. Anyway, Good luck man, I loved this one!
@ricardobusta ah bummer dude :( Good job making this non the less! Upload a video maybe in the meantime so we could see your work! ♥
This is so chill! I love the idea. With some polish, this could be very well done. I'm thinking in general, in the list that is given of items, there probably should be checks to make sure you have X amount of items, and then maybe sometimes have "challenge" turn, where those checks are not present, that way game has push and pull between chill, flow, and challenge! Would love to also see some synergy between buildings, colors, etc. Love it, great entry!
I love the style, reminds me of Sable (we tried to make a game in that style as well, so your entry stood out to me!
Man this is such polished game! LOVE IT, so fun!​ Outside of quirky mechanic where you can place blocks in the middle of other blocks (created awesome glitches btw, loved that), the game is sooooo polished it's insane! All the feedback is so nice. Loved it. I wanna play more of it, and maybe have like defense towers (maybe there are already there? not sure, but those with sticks seemed like turrets to me, but I couldn't figure out how to make them work). Any way to maybe sign up for updates? Damn man, this one makes me excited. Good job ♥♥♥
Got to 654 on the score! LOVE IT, it's such a fun idea! I love the cute animals and how chill the game seems in the beginning and then it get's EASILY out of control haha. It's incredibly simple in design but honestly, can get very complex if done correctly!
I think having an in context tutorial for the full game would have worked out perfectly, allowing you to sort of understand what's going on step by step. Also not sure about the spinning, can get you dizzy really quickly 😂
I enjoyed playing this man, even though I couldn't understand what was doing on at first! GREAT ENTRY! ♥
Interesting idea! Lovely visual style. I think what would be interesting to try here is making planet much less rounder, so that it "felt" like it's round, but wasn't really round. Think of terraria but with a little bending on the edges maybe. Otherwise, while it's not a strong effect, but I do feel whoozy while traveling left or right. The idea that you have to repopulate earth is interesting but I feel like it could be done better, maybe taking something like Anno into account? So maybe going away with the character and just using mouse to harvest things with NPC's and placing buildings with a mouse? Either way, really cool idea, plenty of exploration that could be done here! Good job!!! ♥♥♥
This was a pleasant surprise! Chill music, love it, goes great after sprinting hard on the game jam haha, thank you. Didn't expect the amount of gameplay in this! The art style is definitely not great, but isn't horrible either and is actually impressive how much content there is to explore! I wish there was some danger out there, but I enjoyed this Space Stranding-type game ;)
Interesting game man! I liked the idea of it a lot, and characters are interesting. I think I liked the raccoon the most, reminds me of Rocky haha. Did you drew all the characters? What inspired the Bear character, Melvin I think? Great entry!
I like it! I didn't had any one to play with BUT the ai did kick my ass a few times which is good! Definitely would have improved the controls a little bit. Also maybe adding cooldown to swings would improve the game, as it is easy to just spam the buttons :P Non the less, an awesome entry, glad you could make it! ♥
Guys, good job! This game feels very polished! Love the art style, the game feel, the gameplay loop! Super smart idea. I think for me personally the music was a little bit too sad to play comfortably for a while, but everything else is awesome! So many ways it could be improved, it's insane. Great entry!!! ♥
Man I wish I could try this but K&M controls aren't working and my PS5 controller isn't reacting to the game :(
This was a super polished entry but I wish it explained the controls a bit better! BUT, when you get it, YOU GET IT. It's so good, good job man!
CUUUUTE! Love the sound FX here. I think having the bars be beside each other would help the player manage the states a little easier, otherwise there's just too much to look at. But otherwise, awesome game!!
I like this one! You have a solid foundation for a nice mobile game I think. It reminds me of the first game I played on the iPhone 3G that utilized Gyroscope. What would be nice is if the fish would hit the floor harder, but you have something on the level to latch on to, and maybe you could plan out where you want to move next as the board tilts the other way, which would add a bit of strategy I think 🤔 Either way, love the entry! Good job!
Dude I LOVE THIS IDEA and the execution is great! I love the art style as well, the mouse is so cute. I think if I were to make this, I'd make the shadows react from the mouse default input controls, but then you have problem of constant moving shadows... Either way, this was a great entry and I enjoyed it a lot! A very pleasant surprise!
Hey there! I like the idea of this game alot, there's lots of potential here for improvements! For example, it would be really cool to have the character say things in between levels, that way he's face is justified in the UI! Definitely needs more feedback, and I wasn't sure where to go as there wasn't any visible door on some levels but I got the gist haha, thank you for leaving the comment about continuing the game otherwise I wouldn't have noticed the other levels 😂 Good job on your first entry!!! Keep it up!
@teamldm glad you liked it, and thank you for the feedback! I think what can be done better in regard of getting lost, is using level design techniques to subtly push player to places we wanted them to visit and away from places they would get lost, and bring the islands a littttle bit closer! Definitely want to improve things and iterate on the entry a bit further after a short rest :P
Very interesting! I found it really funny when the game pulled the rug on me and told me that the graphics are a feature! Love that idea. The overall controls and camera could use a bit of more work as I'd like to see more upfront than behind the character haha. But amazing idea, wish the UI could have been mapped out better, maybe even placed into the world, where you make the choices up front. Also would be nice to have a "save" state, maybe it's permanent but something that doesn't let the player go below the tile on accident. Could also be a first person perspective. Lots of potential for some mind blowing mechanics and visuals!
