SUDDEN ENDING IS SUDDEN! I laughed hard at this, even though I didn't play your game (I was watching a stream), I loved the effort on the narrative side and I wish you had more time to develop your story, even tho I have to say that at the moment it doesn't actually present a challenge, so apart from enjoying the story there's not much to do. But this is a good start for something!
I appreciate a lot the idea of giving some education while playing, and the music is really catchy! I like the art too, even though I think the background style doesn't exactly mix well with all those sprites. Loved the credit scene music :smile: ! Great job!
Loved the concept and the mechanics!
I didn't play the game directly but watched a stream. I liked the small details, like the fact that you can't refill your air tank if you're out of fuel, and the arrow pointing at your truck if you get it outside of the screen. The game looked a bit easier than I thought, tho... But impressive work anyway!
Liked the idea a lot, and even though I was really close to finishing the game (could see the end of the prototype) suddenly I grow too frustrated and ragequitted lol.. The idea is nice, but the clumsiness of the controls is already challenging per se, so the last checkpoint really gave me headache.. I've tried like 40+ times and finally gave up. A bit of tuning and you're good to go!
Nice game, I didn't play it but followed a twitch streamer playing it. I like the overall idea and the graphics, but as the streamer pointed out the game is a bit too dark and the lack of a timer kinda removes the purpose of the game. Good work tho!
I didn't play the game myself but watched a stream on twitch. You did a great job with the parallax, the graphics and the audio is well blended in the atmosphere! The idea is classic, but I liked the chase effect of the egg. As I said to you in the twitch chat, imho the Hud needs to be refined a bit to let the player better know the difference between the ship getting hit and the egg getting hit (and maybe how many hits it can still withstand). Anyway, great work!
Very cool idea! I think you nailed the theme, and the graphics are simple yet convincing. I played the game on easy, but it was challenging nevertheless. The only negative point, in my humble opinion, is that the bcakground music is a bit annoying. Apart from that, great job!
I liked the narrative... But the collisions weren't working correctly and choosing the CTRL command to crouch was a bad decision (at least when you play it in the browser), I couldn't use it without making the page bookmarked (CTRL+D makes that)
great game! Looks a bit too challenging, tho... You can't actually never reach over the top half of the bars, so it looks like wasted space... but great game nevertheless!
it's a nice idea but having the enemies go back after kidnapping the babies, not being able to destroy towers after putting them and the general balancing doesn't make the game really challenging, so it gets boring quite fast. But, on the bright side, you did it all by yourself and within 48h, and that by itself deserves prais! Plus, there's a lot of room for improvements ;p keep it up!
I don't know if there's a problem on my computer, but I can't seem to reach any point aside from the graveyard, in which I can't do anything anyway. I've tried pressing F like everywhere, clicking with my mouse, excetera. Nothing works. on the right side of the hut, on the other side, I can't jump over the ledge nor crouch under it, and apparently there's no command to make the player crouch. Too bad, it looked like a nice game.
@darkmax14 It's possible I'm too dumb for your game, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Are you supposed to click on them? to walk on them? To press F when you find them? Can't seem to go anywhere except the top of the hut, and even up there I can't find anything. (On a side note, pressing F anywhere outside the hut brings you inside the hut)
@darkmax14 I tried for like 3 full minutes but Arlo couldn't reach the platform... Dunno what the reason could be :( At this point I got frustrated and gave up. sorry :(
Thanks to everyone for playing our game! We hear you when you say it's really challenging, and we can confirm that that was exactly our goal :smiling_imp:
Thanks @lexi89 for your feedback! Yeah, it was my first time using A* and I couldn't do any better than making every ant pick a random walkable node every couple of seconds, and having them overlap made the effect not clear at all. I guess that having a bigger map could help but in that case the ants would be too small to be seen... Unless we did some scrolling screen. I don't know, maybe we'll further explore the possibilities! Thank you for playing our game!
@darkmax14 Thank you for your feedback! Maybe we can show again the tutorial panel when you press pause, it may not be the best solution but I think that is the best option effort-wise. I'll let you know !
@lairinlair Glad you appreciated it :) I came up with the title on Sunday Night, after a dozen of hours at the pc, with a huge headache :D I went to bed thinking at the game and woke up with that title :smile: talk about the benefits of a good sleep, uh? :smirk:
Grazie @federico-giorgi per il feedback! ho notato che giocare il gioco in fullscreen, anche da browser, fa calare drasticamente il framerate e non so perché :(
couldn't play the game, it was just a black screen with the UI visible
