Reading the concept alone makes me giggle already :joy: The game itself is pretty fun. And the feeling is really nice.
That person that's going to eat you. He looks genuinly terrifying.
My computer doesn't run this level of graphics that well but I still had a pretty great time.
It feels a bit too easy? I could stay alive for quite a time. Maybe add more enemies / have increasing knife/fork rate?
Loved the game! It fits the theme quiet well and the cutscene is pretty funny. Fighting enemies is a quite punishing since you get so few gold for it and lose so many turns & hp.
Other than that, this is a solid piece of game!
Your video is great, your voice is soothing, and most importantly...your game is AMAZING! This is a perfectly finished game with good fun and the greatest humour I've played so far!
At first I thought I could just hold space and aim behind the escape shuttle and protect the Earth forever but no, the asteroids get faster and I just couldn't rotate my ufo fast enough. It is truly "inevitable."
Great game! Got to around 78k. I found out that sticking to the border is probably the best approach.
The idea of tax evasion is super funny!
@atomicptr how...... I only got 658!
This game is great fun! Loved it. I tried to overtake your gasgasgas score but I couldn't :joy:
I can't figure out how to play the 1s level. I tried both my numpad 1 and normal keyboard 1 and '1s'. (Maybe I'm dumb hahah)
This almost feels like a full-scale game!
It's great fun. I had a great time playing it.
The soundtrack and effects are not too-interrupting which is very nice.
At first it was a bit hard getting used to the controls and trying to survive. But after that It's all good.
Suggestion - Maybe you could allow connecting powerlines between unpowered solar panels? - Yo should add more indication to controls / threats / how to play in general - Nothing more. This is really good!
My verdict: If there's an award I could give, this game is one the award-receiving list!
// Also, what is that font you used in the menu ui?
@ukulelefury Thanks for sharing!
I'll try and make some for my next game (:
This game is great fun! It got me playing for a while.
I respect you for making a C++ game. I've tried once or twice and it is quite a pain. The soundtrack is nice too! Is there a soundcloud or somewhere else I could listen to it?
The minimap does help locate enemies. Good.
- Should have full-auto gun / "Hold" left click to shoot. - Graphics design could be better but this one is not bad.
My verdict: A great game with nice concept & gameplay!
@phil-c
If it's not too much work I'd like to hear the full version!
These VSTs are also quite interesting. I only know NI Kontakt (The free version). I'll check the other ones out.
I also had a try with Ableton Live and maybe I was too dumb to use it back then :joy: I'll give Ableton another try seeing you made such a nice piece with it.
It's really nice to see another person who loves audio work; and you my friend, are way better than me hahahaha. I give my respect to you.
+ The mood is really nice. Dark atmosphere in the middle of no where. + Gun shot sound is surprisingly easy for the ear to listen to. I could listen to that for a while.
- The zombies make no sound. There should be some sound/visual indicator that zombies are behind you. - Zombies should hit harder. I could just stay there not shooting and survive for a while. - Gameplay get's a bit bland after a while; you just move your mouse horizontally and spam left click. Maybe you could add some new types of zombies, new guns, etc.
My verdict: This game has potential!
I had a blast with your game! It's super fun. Died fast in the first few rounds. But after I got the hang of it I made some great score!
The gameplay is all set, but the art and sound design could be improved.
Hope to see you in the next LD!

Straight to the theme but maybe it is "evitable" afterall? Pressing each button gives a lot of time where finding the exit did not take that much time. It's nice that it's 3D but the mouse sensitivity is pretty high. The 3 secrets are nice addition. Also there could be a procedurally generated maze for increased replayability.
But overall a solid game with solid concept!
Salute to you for not using any game engine! Well, maybe you could try using one in the next LD.
A lot of elements were unfinished (as you stated) and the music is quite loud so I couldn't give much stars.
I wish to see the game in it's completed form. I'm sure you'll do great!
See you in the next LD (:
Fully agree with you that the process of making the elements that goes into the game is real fun! @hinesite
Nice and super fun game! I had a blast playing it with my friend.
After the point where I upgraded the damage to one-shot enemies and attack speed to a certain amout the game became too easy.
Also with enough bullet speed upgrade, the collision dies (which understandable).
Maybe you could develop this game further into a sellable product? It's real fun and innovative.
It's quite fun and the gliching world theme is nice.
This game felt unique. This idea / gameplay I haven't seen anywhere.
I was fun but when I tried to explore the map, some terrain is quite difficult to traverse. (Or maybe that is to fit the glitching theme? )
Map design, world design is super great! Can't wait to see more of your work. I'll be watching you on twitter :eyes:
Thank you for pointing that out @fifut! I'll keep that in mind in my next game.
The tutorial is in the second scene & controls are in the page description. But I might have to make those more noticible.
Thanks for the advice @sixgamesld!
Much thanks @bosco ! I put quite some time into them (:
I'll check out your game too!
- Thanks @sharploaded & @judgezedd! I'm glad you liked the game (: - Thanks @jepjoh2 & @redsti for you suggestion! I intended it to be one-hit kill to make the stakes high. I'll keep your suggestion about health in mind for my next game! - Thanks @weirdybeardyman! I'll consider more about the difficulty scaling in my next game! I'm very happy you had fun with Coolant! - Thanks @the3rdhunter so much! This comment really really really makes me feel superb (:
The link worked now!

- There isn't much description on what to do, then I figured out that I couldn't really win even if I tried. I laughed to myself hahaha - Is there a way you could win? I suppose...no? - Could add some sfx to spice things up
The pet's face is so hillarious! I love it! :joy:
My finger died playing this. But it's worth the curiosity of wanting to know what the next evolution will be.
I played for a while and was expecting some passive-income in the game but I don't see any.
Just read the above comment and found out about the food slider. I have zero idea that was a slider.
Graphics is simple but it does have a nice art direction!
My verdict: Very nice but there could be improvements!
