I liked this one! I can definitely see where a gamePad would come in handy. Good job on the ai, those spiders get tricky to decieve. Just curious; I had one enemy that just chilled at the drop-off point and tried to intercept me. Was that a glitch or a nasty strat? Either way, slick graphics, audio, and definitely on the Theme. Very well done!
Hahaha, This is freaking sweet. Pity I'm on a mac, I'm hesitant to critique and rate just on what I can see. But it's such a fantastic idea, and looks extremely well executed.
This one is extremely well done! Artistically this game is cohesive and makes me wonder about the story. The black holes were definitely difficult, but I love how they start ominously appearing more and more frequently.
This was pretty neat! My biggest complement has to go to the level design, the levels got pretty big and labyrinthine. I honestly found the dangerous part about getting greedy wasn't the punishment aspect, but getting lost and being unable to get out in time! Other than that, the look was fun, cool enemies. The controls were difficult; movement was really loose. Good job!
I thought this one was pretty well put together. The jump mechanics were tight and easy to pick up. I didn't even pick up on the tie to the theme until I read the comments however. It makes more sense now. I thought the graphics were decent, given time I think it could have been similar in visual style to Fancy Pants. Some of the inescapable traps were well placed too.
Woah, this game is incredible. Moody as all get out and honestly rather perfect in execution. The ominous building terror was spot on with the theme. It really did get worse the more you got... and then that ending though.
Way to go for a first attempt guys. Bugs definitely prevented playability, but didn't stop it. Having to switch engines mid-jam is not an easy feat either. Good Idea to keep practicing, I'm excited to see you guys next round.
@bartol44 Fair points, all of them, and thanks for the detailed feedback! For future reference, the reactors become a large one once there are 15 neighbors to the one that you cool. The distance factors into the heat generated which is equivalent to your score. So you score more the closer together they are, but they go off faster. Finally, putting them in other parts of the map is just a strategy you can employ to try and time the reactors. If they have no neighbors, they don't heat as fast but are harder to get to.
@SurprisinglyShockedCat Good to know, we'll take it all into planning for the next run. If I ever do go back and polish this one up for a cleaner release we'll definitely address those two. Thanks!
@wowa I hear ya, we'll have to look at balancing the audio in a future release.
@beebo-studios Yeah, I never even thought to include a tutorial but I see the need for sure.
Both your positive receptions are encouraging and the feedback is very needed. We're surprised our first entry is going so well!
I liked it! I found a number of glitches with the jumping mechanism mostly, but the angry hoards of enemies were entertainingly tricky to escape.
Huh. what a weird game, hahaha. It definitely followed the theme well, and felt like a complete game. The animations were very well done.
Hahaha, what a weird game! I liked the art a lot. The funky space babies were particularly creative. My only critique: I spent a long time having no clue how well I was doing.
