one of, if not the best, games i have played this jam. an absolutely stellar concept with debate-ably the best visuals in the entire jam wrapped up with stellar gameplay. genuinely no issues with the entire game, and i love it! and considering it is to be continued... im going to love how this game turns out!
really fun little city builder that gives a looming threat, makes good use of the theme, and has a good feedback loop! really good! The game feels a little shallow, but eh, its a game jam game. this seems like it could be a good time waster if taken a little further. good game!
Amazing Gameplay here! although the graphics are basically non-existent, the gameplay is amazing! i love how the game constantly has something to do, and just how split seconds decisions of if you should risk going for those coins or just leaving creates a great dynamic. would've loved if it told you how many stages you went through at the end though!
Very good use of the theme! i can also tell - you really wanted tower offence to win. this game was surprisingly fun on a first playthrough, although far too easy.this game was great :thumbsup:
I really liked the buildup of a defense and how frantic it got when near the end - having to rush back and forth to gather all my materials while also refueling and building new turrets was a great little loop.
However, this game was far too easy. once you beat the first wave - it was effectively over. maybe, as time went by, you could've had a variable that increased every wave that affected both enemy health and speed as a multiplier?
the art in this game is very simple - but for a tower defense, this works! it looks surprisingly good here. no comments on audio, played with it off.
it duped my comment 4 times and i dont know how to delete them...
duped comment
Absolutely amazing game - absolutely should win atleast one category. amazing art, incredibly fun, great use of the theme, and quite innovative. this game is incredibly fun to play, and although its got major balancing issues (enemy health!!) its still the best game I've played in the jam.
This game has some decent ideas - however, there is one thing that i do not like. you've put an emphasis on speedrunning, with your leaderboards, however, the game has waiting as a core game mechanic, which is also not a good thing, however these two ideas clash HARD. the game also has generally poor level design, with open levels filled with mostly nonsense, and "speedrunning" paths so easy i never even found the intended solution. generally, levels should've been a bit more closed and a lot more clear on what should be done - however the items in those levels were great! the portals, blocks, and laser bars were all great additions!
along with this, the graphics actually look quite nice! the 3d style gives off the vibe of a trash compactor incredibly well. no comments on audio, as i played without sound. overall, pretty fun little game you've made!
This game really needs another thing to do. the game mostly runs off a system of waiting for a shot, shooting, and going back to waiting. This causes alot of problems as the game is very slow, and really could've done with something else to do (projectiles to dodge, a much faster scaling enemy count, etc.) and the art isn't that appealing. the just general size of things feels big, and could've done with a downsizing (and so that more can spawn)
However, the music is fairly good, and the sound design is nice. :thumbsup:
Overall a pretty boring experience with some big highlights in the audio.
Really Difficult game, but this game is amazing! the building is frantic and fun, and all the different parts are great! Really would love to see this have a postjam build. Super fun game,with amazing art. :thumbsup:
Reminds me of a flash game where you effectively did the same thing but without the time limit. i think it was a nitrome game..?
Incredibly simple game, too much for its own good. effectively "move and grab" simulator, the game itself is not fun in the slightest. the snail (although it is a snail) feels incredibly bad and slow to control, and is not fun to play.
However, the art is where most of the time clearly went. this game looks really good, with the simplistic but incredibly appealing art. Would've loved if it was a a time based game where eating would increase your max time instead of its current state.
Nice clean graphics with a very good mood for a jam game - this game really makes you think before you act - and the game hits that perfect level of difficulty where its not too hard but not too easy. Really enjoyed this one and my only complaints are stuff thats limited by the jam!
Visually, this game looks amazing. despite looking sort of blobulous all the sprites are really good! however, i had one major problem with this game. This game REALLY, REALLY needs a tutorial (even if it's just on the page, and not in the game!) it took me a solid 15 minutes to figure out what i was supposed to do! this really brought down my enjoyment of the game, as i couldn't tell what i was doing.
however, once i figured out what to do, the game was incredibly easy. the boss went down in 30 seconds, which was no time at all. would've like if it had more attacks (maybe some that could be dodged) too.
Very nice little game! wont give my usual spiel as you already have tons of reviews, but this is great! nice graphics really fun game, and a really chill mood! really like this one, good job!
This game is great! The design is great, the Graphics looks surprisingly good, and the shop is amazing. i love this little roguelite! Very fun game! The only complaints i have are stuff that would've taken a signifigant amount of time, such as the complete lack of enemy variety (although perhaps a big enemy with more hp would've been easy) and the fact that the game is not very balanced (2,3 and 5 are far better than 1,4, and 6 due to the enemies coming in swarms rather than singular tough ones.) The game is super fun, though!
very creative game! i love the effects, the upgrades, and all the various sprites! i feel like the fact that you have to get crushed and THEN buy upgrades was a little jarring, but other than that, this was great!
Really good game! reminds me of old flash games. A really good use of the theme that is quite humorous! the later minigames are just simple enought that you can understand them but also not too simple that its incredibly easy (unlike the 2 waiting ones).
The game's 2 "dont do x" minigames are really boring. Waiting is always a bad game mechanic, so something else in their place would have been appreciated.
The concept for this game is immaculate. The different ways that your gravity and things are affected by the game is really good :thumbsup: and the art is great, HOWEVER
This game has some of the most frustrating level design of any game i've ever played. the first jump CANNOT be made if you are in the red - causing you to wait for ten seconds. Infact, almost none of the game accomodates for the red mode! and with all the instant kill spikes (especially the stairs!) if you die your going all the way back to the beginning - with the long, winding tunnel with nothing in it. after that is a moving platform that seemingly is only there to invalidate 2 of the dimensions. if the game had a better start location (one that is not followed by a winding path, effectively forcing you to change dimension before even the first jump) it would be significantly better.
overall, really good concept with some bad level design.
