Awesome submission. I really liked the music and animations. Also the idea is very innovative. The chat is really funny as well. I think a possible improvement would be to be able to pause the game during battles. This could make the action easier to follow. Overall very nice game.
Nice concept and a very original idea. Great game overall i would say.
Nice Game! The controls felt a bit clumsy though with "shift" for the parachute. I especially liked the artwork.
Amazing game. It really got me. The explanations could be better though. I got stuck for a while at the beginning (the game does not tell you to press space). Overall very well done.
Very nice game. I really liked the story. It felt really well written. You could have put a bigger focus on the actual mining game part and upgrades (you cant really earn money i guess?). The Interface creates a really nice atmosphere.
The jumping and bouncing feels really nice. The boxes falling off the tilting ship was kind of frustrating for me because its super hard to aim precisely. Very fun game overall!
I liked it. The interface felt weird and complicated (spent 5 minutes trying to get out of the inventory). Once you get over that this game has some really nice interesting inventory mechanics. This puzzle part was the most fun for me. The Fungi are OP. You can basically just get those and not care about the contracts at all.
Overall its a nice game, well done! :)
Awesome game and nice idea! (I found a bug: The blacksmith does not seem to be working.)
Very fun game. I tried it on linux and it felt kind of laggy. Might just be my PC though. Also I did not understand how it works because I skipped the instructions at first. Once I read them everything made sense though. The interface and graphics could use some polish but this was made in 3 days after all so well done!
Nice game. The stacking was kind of frustrating because everything kept falling of the super slippery island (but thats part of the fun i guess). I really liked the artstyle. Well done.
@everyone Thank you for the super nice feedback!
@lima-victor unfortunately no. we just noticed way too late that the webgl version was laggy.
I really enjoyed the variety of the stuff you can do to delay mom. Its a lot of fun to experiment with this.
I also think that a scoring system of some kind would help to make it more interesting.
We actually had a very similar idea to this for our game. Its nice to see a different vision of it.
Also first time incremental music video player here. I really really enjoyed this a lot. The art is amazing and its just perfect with the music. It might be nice to make a smooth infinite loop of the song. The silence in between felt a bit weird. Also it reminded me how much time I am wasting with it. I say waste but it was not a waste of time playing this. I had fun. Thank you, its great!
I love the graphics style. it really looks amazing. However it did not seem to me that the water really had an impact. So flooded houses still "worked" i guess.
Its a really nice idea imho. I would really like to see it developed a bit further. You could for example add water damage etc.
I also have to say, for the limited time this game seems like A LOT. Well done.
I played the version with the spoken tutorial. It definitely helped but it was a bit difficult to understand (acoustically). I think a better mic might help.
The game itself was fun and the balancing between fuel and cooling was interesting. I think it might benefit from some improved visuals. By that I mean something that looks more like a old-school computer terminal. The Pixelart text is a step in the right direction for me but it does not go far enough. I think a black background and a more "terminal" kind of look might be a better fit.
I really love the story and I also think the spoken text at the beginning really helped get it accross. The bad audio quality I mentioned earlier actually made it more believeable and real for me, so maybe dont change it after all. Its a nice game, especially for only one person working on it. Well done.
This felt like a finished game to me (had no bugs etc.), which is good.
However I was missing a feeling of control. I just kept clicking on the corners to make my guys hide (kind of) and to survive longer. I think the game is missing some mechanic so you can actually make a difference, or at least so it feels like you can.
Also I really liked the visuals. The artwork is nice. Well done. :)
Very nice idea for the theme and nicely done as well.
I played this on a potato so pong was actually difficult for me with the low framerate. According to the comments this might even have improved my experience with the game.
My favorite moment was when the pong game started. It seemed to me that the game was text only up until this point. Then suddenly you play this AI.. my mind was blown! I think this also has to do with the visual style. The simple minimalistic text and the pong UI fit together perfectly making the transition seemless.
I really enjoyed this.
The artwork is perfect. Also it has cats. so 10/10.
The scoring could indeed be more clear and I wish it would be more obvious when I am close to losing.
Other than that I had a great time with this. Well done.
Forgot to mention your cat: She is really cute. I hope you will have many more gamejams together.
I think the story was actually interesting. It would be nice to have some kind of a choice though. I just felt like I have no power to influence anything.
Art is really nice as well. Good job.
The visual style of this game is really nice. I think the gameplay could use some work. I did not really understand what I need to do or how I can win. The controls felt a bit clumsy. I think that a 2D world might have been better to keep the controls simple and intuitive.
The music is great. it really fits in with the game. Also the drawings at the beginning look amazing. The sailor is a really nice, kind of funny character.
Really nice game. As mentioned before I also think that having some kind of level or wave structure might give a better feeling of progress to the player. I also noticed that it becomes harder if you buy upgrades which felt kind of weird. Of course is has to be more difficult because otherwise you could play forever.. Using levels with increasing difficulty might be a nice way out of this problem as well.
The Artwork is nicely done and the shooting feels good. Well done. :)
Thank you all for your nice comments! We had a lot of fun making this and we are really happy you liked it. :)
Hi :)
The lighting really gives a great atmosphere and the mining etc. feels good. So, well done.
I think it would be nice if you could always see the castle. maybe in a small window on the top right. I kept going down to mine wax and suddenly I lost... I did not see it coming and that felt weird.
However it was still a fun challenge for me so I tried it a few times. I survived 5 minutes.
It might also be interesting to add some time goals with rewards. So after surviving for 5 min you get 200 wax or something. At 4:30 it just felt hopeless.
I think enemy and tower variety are not super important tbh. I only got to build one cannon and I still think it might have been better to go for wall + tower... So of course you can try to balance this but I think by adding more you would just waste your effort on something that no player will ever use/see.
For anyone except the author reading this: This game is nice so if you are trying to find something to play and rate, this is it. ;)
