This was fun. The time dimension (third dimension is time!!) idea is very unique. It's hard and challenging and definitely a rage quit masterpiece. Extra kudos for the original score and controls were slick. All the ingredients of a great game.
Hey thanks for dropping by my channel! - this was very cool I liked how you increase the population and the food dynamic is definitely a cool idea. On the tutorial you spawn the food on the side and it was hard to see it. I also got stuck because I couldn't see my ants behind the anthill. Overall 8/10
Nice concept. a bit difficult for me :(
Great game! Love the gameplay - said the rest on my channel!
I really like the use of particle effects and the developer did a great job with the graphics. The world of Icarus is really creative! Good job!
Simple but works like intended. Physics is definitely working correctly and physics materials is configured to that the player can correctly anticipate the effect. I like how you used the game mechanics as the menu system. I've seen a few of these games in LD38. I had to judge you amongst entries like RoVR. Good fun though!
Amazing Game! Needs an objective or objective is not clear. Music is beautiful and the mood is really fun!
Thanks for dropping by my channel!
Great stuff - really creative! Didn't get stuck once and the puzzles were challenging and I like how you entice the player to quest and solve problems. Solid entry!
The graphics are good except there's a disconnect between the 3D atmosphere being created and the seemingly low res bullet mechanics. That been said it's enjoyable and kudos for keeping track of players scores. The game feels a bit heavy on graphics on an iMac.. A bit jerky
Great game - the text is a bit hard to read through when you just want to play :) Thanks for joining my channel!
More like a story than a game. However, good job with the audio and mood. I liked the idea and the apocalypse mood you created with a few surprises along the way.
love the use of newton's gravitation laws and the chain reactions. It's simple but addictive
Hi - like the use of gravity and chain reaction mechanics. I feel as a Jam entry there's a few elements missing including UI and music that would have made it more enjoyable. It was a safe title to make and definitely playable
Great concept! Work on it!
Thanks for popping by! Great game - and mind bindingly awesome!
Great stuff! Felt the tense situation so great points on mood!
Hey.. check my twitch channel. Want to play this live
Interesting god sim concept. For me it missed something there's a disconnect between the gameplay and the sense of danger. I still don't understand why I died. But that been said, a good effort.
Well executed and beautifull!
Hey - didn't get it but a good attempt with potential keep at it!
Not enjoyable. But discovered quite a large world. Sadly no gameplay - no point. Models look good if it was your own.
Hey going to play it tonight on my channel. Carl Sagan reference is enough to peak my interest
Great art and sound. The controls were a bit odd and took away from the gameplay - feel like the fire button should be more responsive. Overall a great effort!
Hey - thanks for dropping by. Yes this was interesting and fun. Like the dialog elements but think it's all condensed into the first section would have been nice if it was split up between gameplay and maybe using it as a reward narrative. All and all a good solid game!
Great game! Loving the retro rabbit and very rewarding game play. Overall great composition!
Yes... but is it... art?
I found the game mechanics smooth and work as intended while I was playing I started trusting the controls more and felt like the character responded perfectly to my actions. I also love the fact that there is secret passages. It's extremely difficult and this game practically kicked my ass! But, in a good way! Solid entry. Good graphics and kudos for the amount of effort that went into this!
Definitely potential here. Feel it was too short, didn't get the map part feel you maybe spent too much time on that instead of introducing variety using existing mechanics. Good effort!
Excellent!!!
The one, two three clue was cleverly thought out. I liked playing it and it was definitely entertaining. Great effort!
The Good: The background and colors were beautiful. The puzzle made me work for it and it was satisfying solving it. The not so good: Think the controls could have been a little less forgiving. I would have like to see the cube grow after making me work that hard :) Overall a solid effort.
Day and night time mechanics and using the resources to create more is clever constructs. The game kept me busy and it's beautiful. The background music was dreamy. All and all a solid entry!
A small end game message would have been nice. Getting the amethyst was challenging and the controls were very nicely done. All and all a good solid effort!
Good attempt!
Excellent - I sucked at baseball so don't worry!
Not my cup of tea but good effort.
Wow awesome game - good job with the procedural waves and effect composition. It's a great simulation of ocean conditions! A side effect of lowering the gravity is you occasionally see ships flying! Unintentional humor is always great!
Hey love this! Definitely going to check out the code because we love destruction! Great stuff!! Thanks for the game review also
Thanks for the feedback. The joys of writing a game in 72 hours - turns out the navmesh wasn't baked with the right parameters and that's why the AI seemed a bit easy. We will make a build with the navmesh baked properly and would love for you to try again. Blowing everything up was the intent!
OK folks - thanks to the feedback we managed to track town and squash some bugs - enjoy!
Hi GoZz - thanks for the feedback. In hindsight that was a decision made to show off the expanse of the island. However you are the second person mentioning that it is awkward so we might actually release an update with either increased spawning delay or spawn you on the ground. Thoughts?
Thanks for the feedback so far - there are some great requests that we'll create a post-jam release for. Keep the feedback coming :)
1. The drones being on top of you has been fixed and we'll include in another post-jam release 2. The reload being on the right click we'll take into consideration 3. Tweaking of the bullet damage and NPC strength is a great suggestion. We think we have a balance in the latest code base 4. Knocking back the drones and slowing them is a great suggestion. We actually did intent to do that but the forces weren't correct - again - an update to follow 5. Rockets have been reworked and they will be heat seeking missiles in a future release. Great job of spotting the hidden reload time. We've reduced that already
Great feedback Dink_Dink - noted. Watch for an update post soon ;)
Good observations - yes shooting through the terrain is an unintended consequence of how terrain colliders work. Since it's "energy" orbs I think it's forgivable but I'm still trying to solve this problem without overloading the PhysX engine by adding rigid bodies to the bullets.
@JoyFired - great enhancement suggestions. We will definitely take them under consideration - for now we tried to stick close to our 72 hour codebase until judging ends. Personally I blame @MrKenz0 for keeping me awake the night before lol and filing it under "the things we could have done if we weren't so damn tired" :)
Thanks @Breno-m! @MrKenz0 and I squashed the cursor anomaly at some point and now it's back! Thanks for letting us now. @caterein Crosshairs is my fault :) We'll make a new version soon would love for you guys to try it out. I'll keep you posted. Zooming is going to move the eyes over the scope so we planning to make it uber realistic. Yes Brendo - become a contributor on github! I have a use for the awesome stuff you did with routine! Btw check out Decision Tree Toolkit on unity asset store I'll send you a free code.
Glad to see you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback also, great to get some real-time feedback on what works for a player and what doesn't.
Guys thanks a lot! Thank you for recognizing the work @MrKenz0 and I did.
That damn zoom code :) ok I'm fixing it today
@meronSoda great observations. Also great playing your game last night. I've baked occlusion culling so I'm sure the whole terrain won't render but for your situation you probably need to stay in the shadows :)
@richard-michael-smith Thank you so much for the great insights! The misiles are indeed heat-seeking in the latest code base. We are going to clean it up this weekend and release some of the stuff we planned to release but sadly ran out of time including procedurally adjusting the skybox. It was indeed an achievement time-wise as neither @MrKenz0 and I can believe the result considering how it looked 6 hours before the deadline lol
Thanks for your feedback! I recommended lowering the graphics quality if it feels clunky. Also, the health meter is working it just doesn't appear that way on easy mode because regen happens quickly.
Hey @sgstair! Thanks for playing. I notice you selected easy. The health does work but regenerates too quickly in some cases.
Thanks everyone for playing and thanks for your constructive criticisms. Much appreciated. We'll try harder next time.
No score or objective. The mouth and characters were expertly done. But sadly - no reward for me as the player and the controls are not standard. Great effort!
