The gameplay is a lot of trying to get your rover to go straight and not a lot of content. Great idea! but try making a challenge or something to get the player excited and engaged! If you took this idea and make it feel like fun instead of a chore i think it would be awesome!
Nice take on the theme! easy to pick up and hard to put down
It was an interesting take on the theme, although i didn't really get a "running out" of power vibe as much as just transferring, granted there were ways to lose power, but that would just make you restart.
I think if you added some sort of timer so that the longer it took for you to solve the puzzle, the less energy would make it to the end, and then give the player a little feedback on how they did like '3 stars' if you get most of the energy, '2' for medium, and '1' for low, and you fail the level if all the energy runs out before you finish. I just think that would fit the theme a lot better.
Besides that, the audio and visuals worked well together and added a nice puzzle feel to the game
There is a lot going on in this game, and the graphics were an okay stab at the 80s retro. The Shooting mechanic felt nice, and the gameplay was pretty simple. so good job
Really like the take on the game! I am biased, however because my game has similar mechanics, but the graphics were very good and the game play was fun. keep it up!
Overall it creates a great mood and is really fun! I loved the game, even thought it was a bit difficult to get the hang of, that just made it all the more challenging!
Interesting take on the theme! It was a bit confusing when i kept dying until i realized it was because i ran out of coins! I think it would be a bit nicer if there were a meter or something to let the player know how much "power" they have. But, overall, a pretty alright game
I think it would have been nice to have more feedback than the screen just turning black when you lose, but overall an okay puzzle game. nice take on the theme
Nice retro take on the theme!
I think the graphics for this game could have used some more love. The background parallaxing was there, but seemed very mechanical. Also the decision to add a foreground that was much brighter than the actual game space and obstructed the players view subtracted from the experience. But on the gameplay side, it was an alright platforming experience
The game was overall pretty fun! A nice take on the theme, however it would have been nice if there was some sort of explanation in the game as to how one would play. Once i found it on the site, it was easier, but for the most part i had to figure out the controls and mechanics by chance. Just add that little bit on this site page on how to play to a tutorial level or help menu and i think it would bring this game the extra mile!
I enjoyed both the graphics and music, as i think you created a really nice techno racing mood. The controls were smooth and and the toughness of it was there just enough and not over frustrating. I do agree with Burgee on the powerups or some sort of variance in the gameplay other than just the track changing direction. Great game overall though! Keep it up!
Also, if you're really looking to do a collab on something just message me I'm willing to help
Great graphics, and cool take on the theme. I think this idea could go far if you just keep workin!
