I love Mini Metro and this game was obviously inspired of it, but honestly this didn't do it for me. I didn't like that you have to manually click to board every passenger to your ship. Also the music started to get annoying really quickly. On the other hand, I think the graphics were good for a compo game.
I agree with Lars. Interesting concept but the gameplay lacks depth.
But it's a good idea so there's lots of ways to add more depth. For example more resources and needs like money, morale, damage/repairs, ship crew, etc...
Pretty fun and simple idea. I like the graphics and style. And yeah, how the air jumping works is confusing.
I too had trouble with double jumping. Nice graphics and music. Very short and lacks story but I guess you ran out of time.
Short and easy but has some nice puzzles and ideas.
Nice idea! My only problems were that the controls are a bit floaty and the camera felt nauseating when walking on the planet. Maybe it would have felt better with a 3rd person camera?
Anyway it's a fun game concept and overall very well done. I managed to get to the island with my 2nd try.
Great style. Nice audio. Gameplay is fun but too easy if you make enough turrets. After a few waves you have covered your planet and theres not much more to do. Still overall it's an excellent jam game!
Thanks everyone for the feedback! Maybe I'll develop this further some time after my current project. Though I'll have to think of some more ideas / gimmicks so I can add more depth to the levels.
@jason-kennedy Sorry. Added a linux build to itch.io now. I have no idea if it works though.
@jk5000 Thanks. True, the the movement can be very difficult and unforgiving currently. I should have implemented in-air-movement and grace period for jumping.
