This is super awesome. I don't think I've ever seen a game like this, really original. Loved the art, gameplay, music and the level design. I need this game on my phone !!!
Very awesome game, and surprisingly challenging. Can imagine this as a mobile game. Only criticism is that the colors felt all too similar, most of the stuff was just blue - I would love to see some variation in both the level and the UI. That could even help the player decide what to do.
@louiejams Thank you for the feedback. Yes, we did have plans for the game to be much more user-friendly, unfortunately not the time :smile:. Hopefully will get back to it sometime in the future, it does need quite a lot of polish.
@ponypen Thank you very much. Performance was definitely in our minds while coding, as games like these can get very slow very fast. Music: we knew it isn't the best, so we spend some time giving player the option to mute it. Balance: I personally learned a great lesson about balancing a jam game. It's very difficult. You don't have enough time for all the mechanics and polish, so there no way you can spend time making your game properly balanced. We will definitely consider this more in our next games. Your feedback and kind words are greatly appreciated.
@mantarus Thank you very much. The difficulty definitely needs tweaking, what you said would be a great way to improve it. Buldozing towers was on the todo list, but we sadly didn't have enough time. We appreciate the feedback and the kind words.
Super cool! Loved the artstyle. I can imagine the narration being done during the battle, not as cutscenes. They felt a bit too long, but I didn't want to skip them. Also subtitles would be great.
Awesome. A small HUD for showing ammo would be cool to have.
