That was rather amusing, if very luck-based. After dying again and again closer and closer to India, I managed to win with a Polite/Optimistic/Hearty crew (IIRC).
I don't regret spending this much time on it.
This was excellent.
Is there a way to beat Wave 6 aka AAAAAAAAA?
Pretty fun if a little hard.
I was able to last around three minutes after a few tries, but I still can't tell which clocks have more time and which have less.
Considering that one second spent around the wrong clock can cut your time in half... yeah, that's very punishing.
Another frustrating thing is not knowing where the other clocks are and wandering around aimlessly, wasting precious seconds. I suggest letting the player view the whole area.
The visuals and music set a wonderful calming mood that made me want to relax and mess around. Too bad it clashes with the frantic gameplay.
I don't think the game fit the theme; time isn't used as a weapon here, it's just a stolen resource. But it was still very clever, and I thought using a giant clock as the arena was especially so.
The graphics are adorable and the game really looks like a kid playing with toys. Plus, shooting plungers at t-rexes is kind of funny.
But having to wait ten second between each shot at the start of the game, against enemies that take a lot of hits and quickly overwhelm you, that's not fun. Nothing tells you enemy HP, or your own, or how long until the next upgrade. That's frustrating. The Tesla coils didn't seem to do anything...
Also, the sounds got annoying fast so I muted the game >.<
But it looks pretty and the enemy designs are good and varied. If you release a post-compo version with better gameplay, I'll definitely play it!
This had a tiny bit of potential, but it's completely unplayable.
The camera hides everything that's behind you when you turn around, jumps stop in mid-air with no explanation or indication, enemies spawn anytime anywhere INCLUDING ON YOU, "E" apparently does nothing (unless I missed something; was it supposed to be the unconventional weapon?), and there is nothing telling you where the exit of level 2 is.
The main mechanic is not innovative or fun enough to make up for these problems. I don't think there's much left to salvage. :[
