I was really confused at first because i had it open in a smaller window so I think none of the stars ever matched up, but once I fullscreened it it worked great! What a cool idea using the constellations to jump! The sound effects were really awesome too.
i love the art style its wacky and cute :)
pretty fun! its fun swinging around on the lines through the canyon, it seems like sometimes it wouldn't detect "grappleable" surfaces but overall it was a good experience
blowing stuff up and seeing all the coins fly is really satisfying!
Cool game! throwback to oldschool mining games, the music is pretty nice!
The visuals are really really cool, I definitely confused myself a few times moving around too fast and looking down into the hole when I hopped in lol.
sucking up the coins is really satisfying, i could see myself getting addicted to a game like this haha. I love the character design and the whole concept is hilarious. Nice work!
The driving mechanics felt really good and I think visually it looks awesome, the motor sound started to drive me a little crazy after a while though but maybe my volume was just too high. Music was really good, overall a really solid game and a funny concept!
this games really cool, it felt really immersive with the sounds and I appreciated the art style it really helded contribute to the feel!
Cute, game made me laugh :) and then made me cry when i realized how bad i was.
I had a lot of fun with this, I was surprised at how good the combat felt for how "simple" it is - I really enjoyed it though and love me a good dungeon crawler.
Well well well what have we here? an absolute banger, this one really hits gnome. the visuals are super cute and the grab system is really satisfying
Holy moly I was not expecting some of the jump scares that happened to me lol - really great atmosphere, the sound design goes really hard here.
Everything is fantastic about this game! It's fun, the art is great, sounds are funny and cute!
That alien creature looks really awesome! I love the cardboard look of the ship too.
I liked the sounds and the atmosphere as a whole, it was an enjoyable experience
What a great idea, I really love the music and visuals and the gameplay is pretty interesting! I really really suck at the minigames though lol.
I had a ton of fun with this game!sounds and gameplay are solid and its just a generally enjoyable loop to fly through and mine :)
This game was funnyhaha, I think I wish the fov was a bit wider because with some of the items it was hard to see, but I loved the bugs and I loved squishin em >=) I thought it was hilarious when my weapon broke and all i could do was give the bugs the middle finger.
It's a dirty job but someones gotta do it. This game made me laugh, and it was pretty fun and an interesting use of the mechanics!
really love the graphics
Everything about this game just feels good, I definitely found myself wanting to keep playing! love the visuals, love the sounds, love the music and love the game! :)
posting here so I can play it when the link is working! looks cool but yeah link is broken :(
as it turns out: no I am not. Fun game though, I really like the visuals! music is nice and chill.
The game launched on the game over screen for me haha (itch version) - I was able to go and play it though. It was solid, and I liked the sounds and effects when you hit the asteroids. The visuals of the ship are really nice, it looked great on the main menu I was a little disappointed I could only really see the engines in-game though. Still a cool, fun game though! nice work :)
Thanks! Yeah I think that this is a really solid prototype and it might serve as the base for a game I'll make in the future!
Oh man that's a lot more feedback than I was expecting, thanks everyone! I'll try to address everyone here sorry if I miss you. @guneal haha yes - I definitely needed to spend a bit more time playtesting and on the encounter design, I ended up losing the last day of the jam to life so I didn't get to refine anything really :( @notredamstra I'm a sucker for space games too! I tried to make the game I want that I don't think is out there - and I have lots of ideas for expanding in the future! @soul-grinder Thanks! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it! @batthecat Thanks for the feedback! :) @sayomgwtf Thanks! Yeah I definitely want to join more jams in the future! I feel like I should have weighted the advantage towards the player at least for this prototype, I agree the encounters are rough. @tokto Thank you! @mateu I 100% agree with you, there are so many ideas I had for this game and I had to cut out a lot of stuff to scope down for the jam. I definitely want to have more tactical depth and strategy involved so that encounters are challenging, but fair, and there are multiple ways to handle them. Also I created the fighters squadrons but they don't really do anything yet, I would like to make them bomb the enemy ships and stuff @wolfier yes I agree, I want to add different weapon types like torpedoes, beams, lasers, and maybe let the player customize which weapons are on their ship. That being said, I think the speed is way too slow as it is. Thanks for playing! @trevor-lentz Ah yes I see my issue I forgot to have my ui scale with screensize so it is constant. I'm glad you enjoyed it! FTL and Flotilla are definitely big inspirations for me, I'd like to expand on this game and lean more into that roguelike adventure style. @aynu Thanks! I usually just stick to programming but I wanted to try making my own art so im glad it looks good to you! There isn't a whole lot to the game yet, but I will update the itch page if/when I expand on the game!
@whysguy52 Your name made me chuckle :) -I am not sure what is going on, first time uploading to LD so I probably did something wrong there... it can be played on itch for now until I get that figured out here: https://ezduzziteh.itch.io/depths-of-the-void
@binaryspark Totally agree, it is impossible to tell where you are going to end up - and that was intentional as part of my original design, but I do think it is more frustrating than fun and doesn't really add anything to the game. In my next iteration I do want to at least have previews so you can see where you are going to end up.
@k48uto Originally I was going to have the "turn based" system be more declarative in that you declare all of your moves and then every ship executes its moves simultaneously rather than one after the other - I wonder if that would work better. I wanted to make the shooting system work in the same way where each ship declares its targets and then they all shoot at the same time. I definitely do not want to turn it into a real-time game though - I'll have to do more thinking and try to come up with a more fun movement system, maybe allowing for 3 dimensional movement rather than restricting it to a 2D plane like how it is now.
Thanks all for the feedback! I'm excited to work on this project more post jam - maybe restarting from the ground up.
