This is my favorite LD so far. Very polished and really smooth and nice. Great job!
Very nice art and lots of depth (ha ha). Really impressive for a 48 hours job. Wow!
Really liked the theme and the gameplay - found it a bit hard, but that might be me.
got stuck in the level with the companion cube - is there a way to interact with it?
I really had no clue what to do after I got the AutoIron thing - there was nothing to mine and nothing to build anymore - did I miss someting?
this is awesome , great idea, nice graphics and atmosphere. I especially liked the music in the beginning which had a nice creepy 50s ski-fi music touch and how it evolved with the speed of the game to something more modern.
I am sorry but it was so hard to find out what commands in what combination were expected, that I gave up despite me liking text adventures quite a bit. I can see that creating a parser and creating enough responses so the game is accessible in such a hard time must be very challenging but the game as it is right now was very frustrating for me.
Here is an example of how it went for me:
description ends with: "Near your feet there is a small, neatly arranged pile of dirt"
What do you want to do? look at pile of dirt
That is not a valid command
What do you want to do?look pile of dirt
That is not a valid command
What do you want to do? search pile of dirt
That is not a valid command
What do you want to do? take pile of dirt
That is not a valid command
...
Basically: the pile of dirt was mentioned in a way that I epxected to be able to interact with it right now - but none of the verbs mentioned in the help section, nor any combination I could think of did lead to a result. There were mor secens like that, so I gave up.
That is not a valid command
What do you want to do?
That is not a valid command
5 out of 5 - Awesome!
this was really weird.
but also really fun... in a weird way.
Liked it :D
Beautiful and really chilling and relaxing to play. I agree that a tutorial that explains the mechanics a bit better would have been nice. For example - does one plant block the growth of another one? So can a purple flower not grow at a place where a bush is already growing?
Despite that, this is my favorite LD entry so far. :)
lovely art, nice music and quite fun. Made it to voyage 8 before it crashed. Funny texts in between - the thing about the son ("...move on") made me laugh.
I always had to dive for the pirates - cannons didn't seem to help. Is that intended? If so, the angle in which your cannons fire seems random - coudln't recognize the pattern at least.
Great entry though - congrats!
Lots of funf with this one, everything just clicks nicely together, art, destruction, time pressure, high score hunt.
fun game - really liked it. Also not sure how this connects to beneath the surface.
okay sorry, I misunderstood how the web link was meant - first LD this.
Will remove it to avoid confusion.
thanks for all the feedback - I changed the installer version to a zipped one now. Did work when I tried it - please report if there are any issues.
