Some minor bugs here and there, but other than that a really good game. Especially for this type of game and made in 48 hours, like just wow. Great job!
Once it's more polished, I'd love to play it again :D
Beautiful game. The theme, the way the glow works, everything is perfectly blended in. Really great game :D
The snow mechanics are really nice to play with. Very creative and fun, great job!
Really good game, I don't know what me a bit hooked to it. Everything was really well done, great job! I like it a lot! :)
Fun at first, but then the wait kills it a bit. Also I had the problem that half of the UI on the right was offscreen(so maybe that killed it for me actually). There are some really funny events(and jobs) though!
Good job(would love to play it again when the offscreen UI gets solved)! :)
Really fun, enjoyed the command line style. levels 3 and 4 were, **whew**, typing mania (especially 4). But it's passable and fun. Typos here and there, but otherwise really good! :)
Okay, so I've played this for a while. The idea is really good, but there's very little stuff to do. What I would suggest for the next steps(I'm not a pro, just take this as an advice/opinion):
1. Add some kind of an ending 2. Make it so every house produces garbage, that then has to be processed in a recycling center or smh. 3. Variety to renewable sources(solar/idk what else exists) 4. After that just keep thinking of stuff to add, there's ton of stuff for a city builder, but remember to add what's important to your master thesis :D
It's a good idea, and a good start, but there's not enough things in there. Hope this helps! :)
The tutorial is really a great addition, a simple but fun game, good job! :)
Awesome. Just awesome! Good story, and it feels fleshed out. Kept me tense whenever i was transporting the last package with the drone. Really really good! :)
The graphics and the art are really nice. But it's kind of...too easy? :)
Great little game all together.
The concept is really fun, and the way you fit in the theme as well. Good job!
Nice game, loved the graphics and the look. It was fun as well, but it crashed on me with a fatal error. :(
That aside, it's a good game! Nice work!
Jesus this is hard...Needed a few tries to actually figure out how to give treatment xD
Though I say that, I love the game, the sound effects are funny, even though the killing the patients is not... (are you trying to make me laugh and cry at the same time? Shame!)
In my opinion, you nailed it, would love to play a more polished version! So I can kill more people...
Really good game. It's hard though, very much so. But at the same time due to the variety of enemies, and items, it's also very fun.
Really great use of the theme.
Great job! :D
Good game! It's fun, the only thing that stood out was that once my folk got hungry, they never went un-hungry, even with some food in storage. The hungry text just stood there the whole time.
Other than that, really good game, I like it!
Yeah, I realized a bit too late (after the compo ended) that i should have hotkeys. They aren't that hard to put in, but I don't know if I'm allowed to update the game anymore xD
Thanks for the comments everyone! :)
@marshcannon It should go up if you have weapons available in storage, as in "demand" is satisfied :)
@meles yeah the balance is a bit off, there wasn't time to find that sweet spot...but you should be able to catch up to the demand.👀
After the general appears for the first time 15-20 factories are needed to keep up with the demand. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the comments eveyone! :)
@mathiouza well yeah... I think it's too difficult as well. I tried to keep the fire down a lot...the chance to spread is really low, but it always spreads everywhere for some reason. (Maybe there's actually a bug there somewhere, I'll look into it when I have the time).
However, thank you very much for the constructive advice, I'll try to do better next time! :)
@wheffle yeah I love strategies, so I just had to go with that type xD
Really, I thought it would be welcome so you can actually read what the event caused? 👀
Thanks for the tip really! I'll probably practice making music before the next one so I can actually make something half-decent. :)
Thanks for the comments everyone! :D
Great game, I seriously liked the artwork, it's cute all in all.
The lowpoly graphics are nice. Though after a few runs for resources and back it began to be repetitive. Maybe wolves or some kind of an enemy would add the spark.
But it's good! :D
I enjoyed the game a lot, simple but easy to understand, with nice graphics and also, the train is lovely.
A minor note: maybe you could make it a bit more challenging? :)
Great job!
It's pretty fun, made me go at it a few times.
But other than that, it's hard(I died quick :unamused: )... And it gets the feeling of the world trying to kill you across.
Very interesting. The sound, gameplay, theme, everything ficts perfectly. Well done! :)
Unbeliavable, really fun game that gave me a few laughs xD Great job, everything is really lovely about it! :)
The game is fine, a lot of content and stuff to do.
However, please...please add the mechanic to destroy stuff(because of a few mistakes, my whole village was disfigured...). Also a bit of information about how much things cost?
It's a great game all in all! :)
An interesting take on the theme.
Great concept though a little repetitive after a while, so something besides the mini-games would have been lovely!
Great game though, art was a little confusing at first, and the music is fine! :)
Jump from the intro to the game was fantastic! xD
Loved the simple mechanics, and it was overall really good.
Great job! :)
Interesting.
Simple mechanics, good music and graphics.
Everything fits nicely, great job! :)
Lovely game! :)
The graphics are great, and the gameplay fun, I came to 52 recycled items on the first run! I had no problems with the z-axis, though later due to the amount of garbage i never had to move up or down.
The tutorial was a great addition. and awesome job making it 3D!
Great job! :)
Interesting idea, however the game became repetitive quickly.
Art style is great, and a fun gameplay at first.
Good job! :)
Lovely art and gameplay.
The only wish i have would be more boxes and more time. In other words, make this more hectic!
Good job! :)
First time was a little confusing but in my second run I ran out of space. Though all the back of the team got destroyed and I only had the tank left.
Great job for the first time! :)
Simple and quick gameplay.
I love the art, however it could use a bit more diversity in the enemies. The music was lovely, though there was a rather loud sound in game that made it hard to listen to.
Good job! :)
@borys Yeah it's fine on the windows build. No loud sounds :D
A fun runner, starts out slow until the bigger blocks come. Then it becomes hard, maybe even impossible due to placement of blocks sometimes? But that may just be me... xD
The sound fits perfectly, and graphics are fine, but the flashing blocks could use a replacement :)
Great job! :D
Great job for the first time!
When the boxes started dropping in corners the theme running out of space really came to light... Moving around feels smooth, and the sound effects fit! The graphics are fine, and fit the game as well.
Really good job! :)
Great work. Awesome mechanics, fitting music and sound effects.
Levels and more enemy types could make this into a real game!
Really great job! :)
Beautiful art and music.
Great idea for the theme.
I have no negative comments, wonderful entry and great job! :)
Cool game!
The art is fine, the sounds are fitting and good.
Great job on the minimap, different enemies and all the content! Solid entry, and good job! :)
The stars in the background are lovely and the music really sets the mood!
However, while playing I didn't see the reason to even visit the planets, I just chose a direction and held space until i was fast enough, then all I had to do was wait to win. Feels like it lacks something to connect the elements.
All in all, good job, a bit away from being a great game :)
Interesting game.
I gave it a few runs but it was hard to find a balance, especially due to the different building choices, and the only one I saw that reduced pollution was the recycling center?
I loved the idea of cards!
Either way, great job :)
Very interesting approach. I loved all the different cards that come up, and the tactics necessary to beat all those hazards. It kept me on my toes all the time, I never knew what kind of a hazard will come up next and if I will have the necessary cards to beat it. All the resource combinations and different mechanics kept the game interesting all the way to the end.
Got to the end on my second try, but I had some luck to beat a few hazard combinations that were almost impossible to clear.
Great job and game, really love it!
Really interesting. The first two distractions I solved in the first try without realizing the actual meaning/mechanics. Then came the son, it took me a while to figure out I'm not supposed to just randomly type words, but once I did, i tried help... Well, after I read that "some dialogue provides clues" i got him. After the son the final thing was easy. Either way the ending is quite unexpected.
Great job, I would never think of something like this!
Visually stunning, everything is beautiful and the game is interesting. Would love if the game doesn't crash as much. The game can also be slow at times, but that was fine for me.
Great job, really, the graphical design is awesome!
Nice idea, however it is really hard to understand why you can't pass a layer sometimes. Sometimes you fail a layer that you passed in a previous try with the same combination of parts. It is especially confusing at the start. Very good and interesting game!
Great job!
Thank you all for the feedback!
@grena, yeah the towers & monsters were late additions so I didn't have time to give all the visual feedback I wanted. Towers have a range of 5 tiles, and shoot every second I think. Monsters have a certain range, damage and attack speed. So when the monsters are close enough to a building they attack (their logic where a building is, is not that good so they always go to a specific building tile). Building costs are written here since I wanted to make a popup with that info when you hover over a building button... but as you can see I didn't make it in time.
@hilkojj Abundant music, I started messing with it a few weeks ago and it seemed like a good enough thing.
@purpledartfrog done! I gave it a spin!
@squigglez Yep I agree, no time to flesh out the whole monsters and attacks thing!
@jeremia well that is an unfortunate turn of events. Yeah I just realized that there are a few bugs regarding the removal of main camp. I probably broke it when I wrote the logic to detect "defeat", and I suggest to reload the page/game before trying again (because I forgot to reset some things and the reason why your second try didn't work probably). I will try to fix it and release again, but basically you should be able to remove the job about building the main camp, but not remove the main camp after it's been built. I'll update you when I fix it.
Thanks for the feedback!
@jeremia the issues should be fixed now.
@jeremia well that is a problem, I have no idea why the defeat would be random... Thanks for playing and trying it again. I'll try to figure it out and I'll let you know if I find something :thumbsup:
@frogman thank you! Randomly losing is a bug that I may have introduced with the last "fix", but I'm not sure why it happens. You can build the same building constantly, just hold CTRL while placing :smile: . (or at least it should be like that unless it's bugged)
@zohar how the hell did you manage that? :joy:
@yellowsalamander yeah, didn't have time to pixelate it.
@brad-make-games I agree, a lot of visual feedback is missing for monsters/towers, mainly because I didn't have time to make it. Roads don't help actually, they're just there since to win you have to build it all the way to the statue. So, they're kind of an obstacle actually. Losing seems to have a bug, sorry about that.
@maybeagoose thank you!
Thank you all for the great feedback! :smile:
@krexor thank you for the feedback! yeah scroll sensitivity would have been nice.
@refrax295 I completely agree, went ahead and tried your game today and found out it's the similar yet quite different. You went the 3D route, I always think that's harder to make it well so good job! I'm somewhat of a strategy fan so I loved seeing your game and the way you did it. Thank you!
I enjoyed it, it's a really unique and interesting game in my opinion. The game looks good, the music fits. I liked it, great job!
You've done a lot in a small amount of time. Loved seeing the ants work, I would love if the mouse could be held down instead of constantly clicking.
Great job!
Very nice and complete game. At first I thought that 500 is where I'm supposed to go so I died when I got there. After that I realized that maybe I'm supposed to up that number which is when I started picking up battery and armor packs. It kind of becomes repetitive after a while and I'm not sure those messages were good or if they were bugged since they changed all the time. Also, I would have liked it if something changed after a certain depth, like new hazards or something.
Great job, very complete and rounded!
Very good game! Hard and challenging. It's really hard to know when an enemy is done with an attack when you block, but other than that great!
Great job!
Well I certainly didn't expect to find something like this, but I'm glad I did :joy:. I loved it, great idea and good job!
Great job making a card game! It's fun and interesting, the combat is cool as well. Great job!
Great job for your first time! There are a lot of things you can do to make the game better, but it's great that you were able to make it! It took me a few attempts to get used to the mouse sensitivity, the furniture sometimes blocked the stairs but since you're able to jump high they were a shorcut sometimes. The cutscene at the end is a nice touch.
Great job!
It's a very relaxing game, and the visual effect was really nice. At the end I was just waiting for the resources to build up the castle, maybe the wait was a bit too much, but I guess it depends how you play it.
Great job!
My score was near 6000 so I guess I did well. It is a very good game and everything worked well. I would have liked a way to delete buildings as sometimes I placed a pipeline wrong, but that was mostly my OCD. Some sound would be nice but it's good either way.
Great job!
Nice little game, the music fits nicely. Since you move and pick/drop with keyboard it would also be nice to have shortcuts to stop/start filling the barrels and exit the "drill" window.
Good job!
Good game, it was interesting to blow things up to get deeper. Once you get the damage nothing can stop you, sound would make the game a lot better. In the end I didn't know if I was supposed to reach something or just the layer full of gems.
Great job!
Quite a hard game, at first I thought it will be easy but it gets harder as you go on. There's little time to shoot in between cooling the laser and recharging the battery. I enjoyed it all in all.
Good job!
The concept is nice, though the enemy spawns were a bit annoying. Good job :)
Really nice game. The art is awesome and the music was great as well. A bit too easy, but great overall :)
Really cool mechanic, polished and great overall. Nice job :)
Very fun and interesting. A lot of things implemented and great idea. Love the music and the graphics. Good job :)
Awesome art and mood. While playing i really felt pressed to make "food" as soon as possible. Great game, loved it :)
Cool concept, seems like there's stuff missing, but definitely has potential. Good job :)
Wow....just wow xD
Hmmm, i really don't know what went wrong since it works fine when I tested it.
I'm really tight on time so I can't focus on fixing it right away, but I promise to look into it. If nothing I'll post a link to a version with a debugger so you can send me what goes wrong...
Thanks for the suggestions! I will do an updated version later with the stuff you asked for(and fixes!) :)
Thanks for the comments everyone!
A bit weird that it works for some and for some it doesn't. However, I'll do some testing on other computers to see what's happening, hopefully i'll have it fixed soon :)
Really cool game. Loved the idea and execution. The little mechanics like poison and hidden letters gave the game charm. Great job :)
I really like the concept you have here, and i realized that moving the ship and keeping the beat is not as simple as it sounds, great job :)
Like the game a lot! Everything fits in place and great execution. Loved the way you did monsters! Great job :)
As everyone said before, a good little game(especially for the first time), good job :)
Simple and fun, great job :)
