A very fun twist. Seems too easy to make it unbeatable. The side to side controls were a bit challenging, but I think the core idea is great.
Got stuck after having three items on the screen. Totally unique idea!
The visuals are pretty good, but the game is really slow. The game didn't seem to progress unless I drank coffee? A clever idea, but hard to know what the strategy or difficulty is.
@jkreymendez Yeah, not sure what happened there. Couldn't figure out why the guys were spawning so heavily on that level. Definitely not intentional just ran out of time.
@howardcs Bummer. Sorry about that! I've seen that happen once in testing, but couldn't reproduce.
@howardcs and @ithildin can I ask was the crash in the HTML build or the windows build?
@howardcs and @ithildin I suspect the error is from the high score list... Doesn't throw errors with the local copy, but think itch may block the requests. Not sure. I turned off the high scores for the web build.
The link seems to be dead - says it can't be found.
Clever idea. Is there anyway to get the things off the carrier? Seems like I'll die no matter what?
Took me a little while to understand how to move the blocks. Could definitely use some polish there. I like the simplicity of the rules and the complexity of the puzzles. Clever idea.
Fun idea. Got stuck on the first level. Would like to see more.
Took me a while to figure out how to add towers. Would be more clear if the tower menu stayed open. The art is well done and the music and SFX fit nicely.
Looks really interesting, but the buttons don't seem to all work. Couldn't do the tutorial - only the skip button worked and the "Let's go" button on the difficulty didn't do anything. One of the more interesting looking I've seen, just can't play it?
The itch link seems to be dead.
Maybe it's just me but the game doesn't seem to load. Just a black box on the game page.
Very clever and fun. Wish one mistake didn't end the round.
I found the ship pretty hard to control - the acceleration was too fast and I think a top down view would be easier to control.
Clever idea. The controls feel backwards to me. The graphics are nice simple and classy.
The controls are difficult. Feels backwards. Not sure if they're camera relative or player relative.
I'm impressed with a multiplayer game! I had to play myself and could score a single ball, but still impressive.
The acceleration of the ship was a bit too fast too control. I ended up just shooting randomly. Love that the eyes follow the ship.
Fun idea. Controls were a bit hard to get used too. Couldn't figure out what "stomp" was supposed to do.
Bridge snapped even though I was under 10. Hmmm.
Beautifully simple. Didn't look like I had anyone to play...
The link is working. The ghosts just seem to wander in the top half of the screen. Doesn't make for much of a challenge.
Clever idea. I found the controls a bit difficult and easy to get stuck on the corner of the building. Some particle effects around the truck and plow would add some eye candy.
I think I played it backwards. Definitely hard to "come back" if you get too big. Would be nice if you could somehow "dump mass" rather than only collect it.
Is it intentional that you don't have to mine in a continuous line? Would be nice to have a little more challenge.
Opened a lot of boxes. Couldn't figure out what to do with what I found... A few more hints would be nice.
A clever idea, seemed like the AI got stuck behind obstacles a lot, would be great if they could move around a be a little smarter.
Nicely done. One of the best I've played so far. Only wish is that you could place buildings repeatedly without having to click to the UI buttons.
A windows build or html build would make it easier for folks to test your game.
So much better after I read the directions... :) Nicely done, controls are pretty good. The SFX made me laugh.
Game play is pretty fun and reasonably well polished. Biggest complaint is the camera, a smooth follow would make the game more enjoyable.
Plays well, but couldn't figure out how to end the level. Impressed with the controls.
Very clever.
Interesting idea, was hard to get the view right and easy to accidentally destroy a building.
I was a bit surprised how long it took to start playing and then didn't know I was actually able to do anything. Not clear what I was doing or supposed to do. Loved the art the music they worked well together and complimented each other.
I have no idea what's going on. Some directions/instructions would be helpful.
A clever way to the control the characters movement!
