New idea. But you can feel that you didn't spend that much time with this attempt.
I tested the game on linux and it works very smooth. Nice game.
I can't launch it, too. I don't know if it's a Win8 thing or not.
Wow nice art work. But the loading time was quite long.
It would be nice if you couldn't call it MediaFire. I'm on a linux os and it's complicated to run exe files. Therefore please rename it windows. Nevertheless your screenshots are looking quite nice.
I changed the tutorial a little. Now, I hope it's clear that you select a tile with your cursor direction and with a pressed left mouse butten you can dig.
Hi Caridorc! I saw in your video how you played my game and I recognised that you didn't read the help. Under hint2 I explain that the character has a with of 2 tiles and a height of 3 tiles. The bug that the head can stick overground is fix in the post LD version.
There is a problem with your build it's crashing all the time. When I used help and when I tried to mine it crashes.
I couldn't controlling it. I always ended up spinning around.
Selecting units is sometimes difficult, especially on left bottom side.
Nice game. I made a trade game, too. I used unity so graphic is a little bit more shiny. Suggestion: I would round price to 2 digit. Those long nummers were a little bit confusing.
Nice game. A little bit too easy. I didn't fight at all. I only avoided the enemies.
Hi! Thanks for your comment. You should improve camera movement. I guess you had no time to test your game, too.
For 48 hours it's still a good job.
I made a tyvoon game, too. But mine is in real time not turn based game. Nice entry.
Very nice game.
Wow! Fantastic graphic and mood. Nice game.
Nice game!
Nice game.
Nice graphics and audio. Nice entry.
Very hard to play. I didn' survived the first attacks. But good concept.
I agree with the comments. A tutorial was planed and a way to send ships on a mission by selecting it and clicking to it's destination. But it was a matter of time. Time went off so fast that I wasn't able to implement them.
Very nice game.
Very hard to play.
I always had 50 Gold. Is that a bug or a coincidence?
Nice entry. Would've been nice if you could start the game after you died with a controller. I played with a xbox controller and pressed every key but only enter restarded the game.
Nice game. But you should have used a other key than F for the flamethrower. F and space are hard to reached with one hand and using A, D and F with one hand is hard, too.
Wow! I enjoyed the game. Nice idea!
Hard to play. But nice game.
Nice game!
I couldn't figure out how to play it! A tutorial or at least a description would be nice.
I tried to start the game and I got an error. Invalid floating point operation.
I uploaded a smaller version (about half file size). I was able to do so because I had a lot of unused textures in the first build. So loading times should be better.
Sorry! Fixed the Mac download link. Had a typo in the filename on the server. I can't say what's the problem with the web player.
The character was a bit tiny. I know it's hard get everything on screen but with some distance to you monitor the character is hard to see.
Wow! Nice music.
Wow! I love you game. Nice idea.
Simple game. Nice music!
Crashed immediately. Win 8.1
Wow nice game.
Good game but easy to win.
Thank's OccamsRazor for the tip totaly forgot this option.
Hard to play. Aiming is almost imposible.
Very fast game. Almost impossible! A slower start would be a nice tweak.
Well done!
Good game. Hard to play the difficulty level is to high at the begining.
Well done!
Nice work! Well done!
Nice entry but a bit more gameplay (something more to do) would be nice. Your graphics are really really cool.
Love the Kill Bill reference.
Very nice game.
I added a WebGL build and fixed some typos.
Nice game but it crashed after a while.
Ncie game.
Nice graphics.
Wow nice art.
Nice game.
Nice game.
Nice simple game.
Nice simple game.
Nice graphics.
Pleas keep in mind for your next game that not everyone has a n english keyboard x and z aren't always close together.
Really nice entry. Astonishing graphic and mood.
Very nice game and fantastic art work.
Graphic and mood is realy good. but I had problems getting up the rope.
Wow fantastic game. The mechanics are simple but they are working. The animation of the flipping page is realy great. Nice art style. You did a realy good job.
Nice art style. Had to play it alone too. So I can't say much how compelling the gameplay is. A tip for reducing the file size to about 50%. You don't need to include the debug files in your release. They aren't required to run the app. Only the exe and the Data folder are required to play the game.
Nice stargate inspired game. Impressive work, especially for a first timer.
A few sounds fx would improve the game drasticly. But still a nice hack and slash game.
Weird game. Crazy idea. While playing I thought it would be nice to have a bit more control over your "car" thing.
Thank you nanimono. I disabled the link to my repo and looking for a way to get make them not public. For anyone who is wandering what this assets were:
- TextMeshPro a tool for displaying fonts in a higher quality
- Script Inpector 3 a Script Editor for Unity
- Unity Standard Assets (it's free)
- CurveLineRender a tool fore displaying lines with rounded edges
In addition to what amras0000 said a webGL build with unity is easy too. By only publishing for windows you limiting your audience. I liked the game very much. I always wanted to choose both options. Tip for the next game style the ui. In my opinion the default unity ui style destroys the mood (a litle bit). Something that matches the rest of the game.
Nice graphics! I missed a win/loose condition. Or is there one and I missed it?
Oh nice game. I had some flashbacks about this pile of floppy discs you needed for a game. Nice interpretation of the topic.
Wow realy good game. Well done!
Nice game and beautiful artwork.
I agree with eott the controls are quite unresponsive. But it's still a good game.
Wasn't able to test this multiplayer thing. But the rest of the game is fantastic. The art is realy gorgeous.
Very nice game! Nice mood and graphics.
Fantastic artwork. But for the next jam please keep in mind thet not everone uses a english keyboard layout. X and Z are not next to each other on my keyboard. French and german keyboard layouts are quite different than the english layout.
i have to agree with @technonugget the game itself was good craftsmanship and the atmosphere was good. but i'm still searching for the game (gameplay) and/or the idea of the game (why multiple rooms?).
you asked for a reply sry for not replying sooner (i didn't know of your questions). First of all i didn't used the Mac version so i don't can help you with that. When i was playing the game i didn't saw it as a puzzle game. for me it was more or less a snake clone in 3D, with a chamber you open if you wone the snake game. If there is more to the game i didn't saw it, but then i've to say that it wasn't obvious to me to continue (and search for the more). About your comment on personal experience and not everything has to be "game-y", i have to say, this is a >> game jam << so it's obvious that you expect some kind of game (to put it into your words something "game-y"). A personal experience (for example a walking simulator) might be very fun and entertaining but there is room for a discussion if that's a game or not. Your entry is definitely more on the game side. My point was, that i didn't understand: why you used multiple rooms? why the game couldn't exists without them? what do they bring to the table gameplaywise?
The mood is fantastic! But I have to agree with @danman9914. It's hard to run away from predators.
@wujood Yes that was my inspiration.
@unclechris sry that you had such a bad experience. i have a quite beefy system so i can't say how it looks like with an old i5 or i3 kind of cpu. with my Ryzen 1800 and an i7 4770 everything was fine with the standalone version. but the WebGL version had framdrops on my systems too. i guess with a weaker system this version isn't playable at all. i used multi-threading for pathfinding but that's the only optimization i made for improving the performance. btw to be clear i'm entering the jam not the compo so i had 72 hrs. and i'm sorry to tell you that i had no time for floods, so Nile will not flood the farms (i really had no time for such a feature).
@everyone I tried to force this crash/freeze but i wasn't able to replicate the situation. I made 5 etire games without any crash or freeze. So if you experienced a crash or freeze please tell me what you did and/or what happend last. Maybe i can figure out what is causing this problem with this info.
@automatonvx Thank you! I was able to find the bug.

@james-dunlap can it be that you played the game before? i uploaded a fixed version including an OSX build about two hours ago.
@listonos I thought what produces what is clear. If you click on a production building (farm, sawmill and quarry) you see a icon of the product this building produces and how much is in the stroage of that building and the buildings max storage capacity. If you hover over those icons a tooltip/description of that icon will appear. Each production building has a transporter and if you look closer you'll see that he'll transporting different objects (A box of food for the farm, a palette of wood for the sawmill and block of stone for the quarry).
Wow! Graphics and sounds are fantastic! They create a wounderful atmosphere. The only thing i would change is the volume at the beginning. The music is a little too loud so it's hard to understand the narrator.
I have to agree with @saurabh never saw a game about power production before. This music is nice but the graphics are a bit ugly and a little to small. btw. how do you cancel a build or leave build mode? couldn't figure it out.
Wow, nice game. The particle effects are awesome.
Nice game! Love the making love animation.
Graphics and sounds are creating a nice atmosphere. But i have to agree with @swiftillusion sometimes it's hard to see where are objects and where it's just the background.
Was Sim Earth you inspiration? i would like to see such a game with modern graphics.
Nice atmosphere! As the others said a little to much bloom and steering is a bit tricky. There is a bit room for improvements regarding the controls but other than that nice entry.
Wow the game looks polished. Very nice graphics and atmosphere.
Seemed to be a nice small game but it was way to hard for me.
Find it hard to mevo earth. but in the end this wasn't the purpose of the game, i think.
Nice job. You created a nice atmosphere. Rotating was a bit tricky but after a while it gets better.
Audio is nice. Used a xBox360 controller and everything works fine. I couldn't test the multiplayer part though.
Nice graphics. The music on the other hand killed the mood for me. I think that this techno sound didn't fit the game well. Other than that nice entry.
Nice & func game. A little bit of music would've helped the atmosphere. I was a little suprised that the controls changed when i changed the camera angle but that helped the game, ice idea.
Very nice and simple simulation game. Very good graphics and sound! They are createing a very nice atmosphere. Good job!
Nice entry. Only the controlls were a little counter intuitive. In fly mode i would have liked to steer with the mouse or if w and s were switched. but other than that a nice game.
Nice sounds. But the world is way too big for a ld game. searching for 32 labs is taking too long especially with such a huge world size. That's my biggest critical point it's not a small world it's gigantic and not "A small world" like the theme suggested it. Other than that from a mechanical point of view it's a nice solid entry.
Mood was nice but controls are verry hard to master at least for me.
Nice game! Didn't used the android version but i can imagine that it must be an even better experience to use the touch controls.
Wow. Nice game! Very simple but sometimes they are the best games.
Nice game. This music creates a great atmosphere.
I have to agree with @aviland i had some troubles too. But after a while it was Ok and then too easy. So a little more balance and this would be a nice little transportation game.
Nice first entry. Keep on going!
Awesome game! Love the graphics and the music generates a fantasic mood. I have to agree with @wevel the game is a bit short. Other than that nice game.
I have to agree with @ben-beehler the text boxes should be over the vingette. In addition to that the screen was very small a few options for that would be nice for your next game. Other than that nice game.
Nice little puzzle game. Some music or sound effects would help the atmosphere.
Nice work. i have to agree that a little bit of balancing would improve the gamplay.
Nice game. A little too slow on start but after you upgrad your gun it's better.
Nice mood. But now i'll have nightmares about giant bugs. Thank you!
I love turn based strategy games! So was happy that someone made one. While graphics and sounds are fantastic the fighting rules/system need an overhaul or at least a better explanation. Other than that a nice entry. Good job!
Simple but good game. I love that the world changes. My best time was 1:42:833.
I agree with the other that a proper tutorial or better explanation of who you are, what' the goal and how to play would help the game. Maybe you can edit the game page to give more informations about that to the players.
Nice little fighting game. The sound matches the game perfectly.
Nice simple puzzle game.
Lol! Nice that was hilarious! I want to have so many helpers. Even if my job would be to make coffee for all. :wink: :rofl: :coffee:
The controlls of the airplane are feeling very good. Nice work!
Very nice entry!
Nice puzzle game with physics!
Nice game! Nice athmosphere! Hard to play especially if your play it on a tv screen. Gamepad support would've been nice but still a nice game.
Nice work! Great athmosphere!
Nice entry. Very nice athmosphere!
Had some problems after some time and turns i couldn't rotate the camera in the horizontal axis anymore. So i couldn't aim properly.
I build a tower defense game too. :laughing:
Wow nice entry! Some sound effects, voices (mumbling and funny comments) of your squad and music would improve the immersion by a lot.
Good entry. A tip for the next time (or upload). It would be nice if your build doesn't have the name Ld40. If everyone chooses that for the build name you get in trubble or get confused with the downloads.
