Addicting indeed. My biggest issue is that after a while, standing still is safe, and there doesn't seem to be a reason to go after chests anymore, the best option is just to stay where you are and wait till you die of old age. Maybe adding a token amount of legacy currency to chests would help?
I like the idea a lot, fits the theme perfectly. I think it would be better to have an icon or some other visual indicator of what was burning, accessible mode helps but it's still not entirely clear which shade of orange is how bad. I like how burning bridges and walls changes the routes trough the level as it goes on. And lastly maybe a bit of a faster fire spread would be interesting.
I love this, a great little puzzle game. Some background music would be nice, but that's the only remark I can think of.
Cool concept, lots of fun. I think the difficulty is about right for most of the levels, although the last level (I think it was the last, the one with the great hall) felt a bit more like "you know what to do, it's just going to take a minute to do it properly". Overall a great game.
Nice game, feels properly overwhelming. I'm not sure exactly what the game over condition is, so it's always a bit of a surprise when it happens...
Fun game, one remark is that a bad draw can suddenly see you fired at a 15% chance after many turns of 0%, which is annoying. Not sure how to fix that though.
Very fun game, minor nitpick: the high score list keeps the most recent score, rather than the highest one.
Cool concept, and great models for only 48 hours. The collision on some of the buildings is a bit annoying. Other than that, great entry and something I could see growing into a full sized indie hit.
I don't know how this second comment got here. Please ignore (or delete, if possible?)
Game wouldn't load, the error in the console was "Unable to load file Build/v5.framework.js!" Tried both chrome and firefox. Feel free to shoot me a message if you want me to do some testing!
It works!
Very cool concept! I would maybe suggest not to have the messages repeat, it's a bit disappointing to make a full tour and read nothing new.
One of the top games I've seen so far, great art style. Maybe it's just me, but it feels like attacking is way easier from the sides rather than above or below, even though the enemies don't seem to have issues with it.
Fun game, I like how the particle effects mean you can just hang around on the low side and use the falling water to find leaks. Not sure what the clock upgrade is for, or if there are any more upgrades after that, a bit of text there would help a lot.
Liked the game and the vibe, I did find it a bit too easy to beam away the shadows, which made them a lot less scary. Also not sure if that's intentional but I got offered the dash upgrade twice? I guess it makes sense, if that's a gem for movement upgrade and you only have 1 movement skill, but still it looked a bit weird to choose between 2 identical options.
Great game, slight nitpick: make it so you can click the bird in the window while the meteor alarm is coming. It triggered the meteor minigame first, and by the time that's done, the bird is already at the bed.
Started playing. Was confused. Read the description. Damn you :) All in all, an interesting experience, very creative.
I agree with @holysparks, I had to let it time out on purpose to see the game over. Didn't know it got harder. Starting off with a bit higher difficulty would work better I think. Apart from that, really enjoyable and cute game.
Cool game, I like how tight those hitboxes are. Minor nitpick: it says you lose when you drop more than 5 items, but you lose on the fifth.
This is an interesting concept, but a bit of explanation of what you're supposed to do (if not in game, then at least on this page) would help. As it is, it seems like I'm just telling the subject to attack while there are enemies and heal in between waves, but I have no idea whether that is how I'm supposed to play. For the same reason some more in game feedback would help a lot too.
@defrag @attala A mute button / volume control is a great idea, and probably not too hard to implement, I can't believe I never thought of that. Thanks for the advice! @pdotjpg The 2D UI was added because I didn't want huge empty space on the sides, it could definitely be more subtle though.
@batkoi I thought it might become to overwhelming at the end, when there are near-continuous crashes, but something subtle should probably work fine. @jordwest the camera pole issue happens because it is programmed to always keep the same pole up. I'll have to play around with it, see if that's even necessary.
Thanks everyone! @gbgames Kerbal Space Program is probably the reason my mind went to orbit when I heard the theme... I thought about making more realistic when it comes to orbital movement, but even if I'd have the time and knowledge I'm not sure it would have been fun :D
Cool game, although some of the physics glitchiness (teleporting half a screen to the side, at one point) got a bit annoying. I love the whole vibe though.
Cool game, took me 3 tries to figure out units heal at their home base, that made it quite a bit less hard :D might be good to mention that somewhere!
Great game, one of my top 3 so far for sure. Love the art, and had a lot of fun playing it. Single remark is maybe that the +20% upgrade seems worth a lot less than the x2 upgrades? Either way, loved it.
Fun concept, and you actually managed to tell a story in 10 levels. Side note, there's a link to your source on itch, but you might have to add it here as well, not sure how strict that is.
