Nice game! It's a bit hard in my opinion, and the balancers/splits are quite limited so each time a new building appears you have to destroy and rebuild pipes everywhere. With a good polish it would make a great game! Congrats!
It was a fun game! Nice graphics, audio and music. I'm not sure if I loved or I hated the way boxes exert more force the higher you drop them. It was an advantage in some moments and a disadvantage in some other moments, so I guess that's a good mechanic! Also I think the boxes have too little grip between them, so they start pushing each other away too easily.
Nice game! The physics are a bit strange sometimes, like the boxes just move like on ice and then go up the wall at the end and escape the train. Sometimes I had more fun just throwing the boxes away than trying to stack them (maybe it could add some boxes that you have to throw out as a mechanic?). The music is quite fitting and the sounds are simple but enough.
Great game! Very simple and easy to learn but then it seems hard to master. SFX was specially funny. 42 was my best score!
Nice game! The mechanics were good for such a short game. However the theme was a bit forced into the game in my opinion. Well done!
So fun! It was really addictive too!
Nice game! As others said, I think it lacks a bit of a "herd" mechanic where you can move more than one sheep at a time. But having only 72 hours makes it hard to add more mechanics. Congrats on finishing it!
I really hope you can fix your issues and publish your game. I'll try to come back later to review the game.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. The FellowshipManager.zip just crashes on pressing start game, while the FM_v1_0.zip starts, allows me to change some "jobs" for the fellowship but then nothing else happens. I'm guessing I should be able to move it somehow, but I've been unable to.
Nice idea and execution! However, I feel like the game is too slow. Otherwise it could be made into a fully fledged game!
Nice game! The "Q" mechanic is a little hard to control. Maybe it needs an indicator of some kind to know when it can be activated. Otherwise it was fun, even though I couldn't reach the surface.
Nice idea! I liked the Pelotita's emotions mechanic. For some reason it didn't always detect when I left-clicked to shoot and it was a bit frustrating. Also I think it lacked some feedback when shooting the creatures, as I didn't know if it was dealing them damage or how much health they had remaining.
Quite complete game! Unfortunately I couldn't find the puppy. I love how the SFX is quite simple but it fits so nice with the game.
Nice simple game. I liked it!
Nice game! I enjoyed playing it. When the cube goes into a "?" square the arrows can be seen for a little bit, I'm not sure if that's a bug or it's working as designed.
What an experience! I failed the first one because I wasn't sure I was disabling the modules in the last bit so I clicked the same button several times. So I played it again and I could beat it this time. Pretty fun game for only 48 hours of developing. Great job!
Great game! Quite simple and yet I played more than I expected (I don't even like this genre so much). Music is pretty basic but, honestly, the game doesn't need more than that, as it does its job while not being distracting. Graphics and sound are nice too. I hope you can complete the game to your original plan.
I get the following error:
"An error occurred running the Unity content on this page. See your browser JavaScript console for more info. The error was: SecurityError: The operation is insecure"
Unfortunately my 7-zip is unable to unpack the RAR file you provided. It could be great if you could provide a ZIP file as it's a more common and supported format.
Thank you for that ZIP, it worked perfectly now! Graphics are really fantastic! The gameplay gets a bit repetitive after a while, but I enjoyed watching all those landscapes while bringing Toru home.
Very fun game! I liked the mechanics and yes, I could start Minesweeper. Quite enjoyable minigame.
I was a bit lost as there were no instructions provided. I became trapped in a room even after killing all the monsters as I was unable to open the doors. Also, what did the "F" key do? It seems like a good base for a game but it lacks a bit in my opinion.
Nice game! I gave my best but I only could reach about 6 meters before every piece decided to fall down. I think it lacks the ability to rotate the pieces. Also maybe it's a bit too fast. But the option to clean the surface was a great addition!
@redxet I agree that the movement of the ship could be better. Thanks for playing it!
@bulix Yes, the game is quite shallow so it gets old quite easily. Art and music was by a third party but I'm glad you liked what I chose. Thank you for you comment!
@nerisma Thank you for commenting. I also enjoyed the data collecting.
@pitisek Congratulations on beating me! For a lack of time I couldn't implement the comet actually disintegrating on screen, and that's what gives the "unstable" theme. And I was also thinking about some upgrading but, again, lack of time unfortunately.
@biku Nice score you got there! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
@bentekiller The game actually gets harder as you get more score, as the rocks start coming faster and faster (if you get around 8000 points and then reset you'll notice the difference). Anyway, I was out of time to balance it properly so it could be a little too easy if you're good with the controls. I agree that the "dust" was hard to see sometimes, but again I didn't have enough time to fix it properly. Thank you for your comment!
@nick-rafalski I'm glad you liked it! I know the balancing isn't good, but I didn't want it to become a "keyboard-masher" kind of game, so I added the cooldown. The music is from a third party but I'm happy you like my choosing!
@christianb I agree that the game lacks content so it can get boring quite easily. Music and SFX was third-party but I'm glad you enjoyed what I chose for it! I don't think I will expand much on this game but maybe I'll implement a few quirks to it in the following days as training for future development. Thank you for commenting!
@ardorugus Space is always great! I'm glad you liked the music even though it isn't mine (I chose it). I'm not sure how much time you can hold the "find a cozy space and hold space" strategy, but it will probably get you a nice score anyway, as the game isn't much balanced against it.
And for all of you that didn't leave a message but still played, thank you for expending your time in playing my game!
@praccen I agree with you. I ran out of time to balance the difficulty ramp-up and I had to discard completely adding power-ups or any major variation also due to lack of time. Thank you for your comment!
@tulkas Thank you so much! Even though the graphics are from a third party, I tried to keep them simple enough so you can easily know what's happening. I agree with you in that it needs more variation, but I ran out of time to implement any of that.
@xcvzxc I'm glad you liked it! I'll try to implement your suggestion to see if it works better. Even if it doesn't for this game, it will be great to know how to do it for future ones. Thank you for your comment!
@malcolm Thank you! While the graphics are from a third party, the rocket flames and the stars are all mine. I'm glad you liked it!
@gasgiant I see your point. Mostly the game is a bit unbalanced so destroying the rocks and surviving is easier than I expected. Maybe that would have been a good source of tension. Thank you for your comment!
@wolfmeryx I'm glad you liked it! Music and audio are from a third party, but I had the same feeling when choosing the music: I was looking for something more fast, for more "action", but somehow that piece was perfect. Thanks for commenting!
@pat-cleaver Kenney.NL assets are great! It's a great way of getting some good quality graphics for little games like thisone. I agree with you that the game is a bit dull and lacks content but, unfortunately, I didn't have enough time for adding anything else. Thank you so much for your comment!
Nice game! I think everything fits very well together. Graphics, sounds and music (even if the music if not yours). I loved how the tutorial was short but concise. Fantastic!
