it's a solid resource management game, i kinda like it.
I think you should give feedback to the player if you don't have the resources to build something, at the start i thought the game was having issues until i realised i don't have the resources.
I love the art & music.
Good job!
As for gameplay i think it's fun and the game looks good.
I know you mentioned that the load time is long, but still it's way too long without a loading screen. The game crashed during loading.
I checked the output log and it has:
2430 prints of string "test" and same amount of random prints of memory locations.
this is really really bad for performance.
Haha! how do you come up with stuff like this it's hilarious.
Good job on the car handling it's good!
I Really love the shader used in this game and music really fits the scenery.
But i still feel it's missing something?
This game is really addicting!
I like the game design, you constantly have to do stuff and that's pretty hard to achieve.
Graphics & sounds are awesome.
Only downside i see in this game is a little bit "forced" tutorial? But that's just my preference, i like to learn by experimenting and i think it could have been achieved in this game.
good job!
The game is pretty fun.
However i think it could use some more obstacles to make it little bit more challanging.
Good job!
Haha that "FAP" was so unexpected lmao.
good job very funny game.
I can't really say much about the gameplay since it didn't really work on my pc.
for some reason some of the font materials didn't load at all.
The character moves really fast and is literally impossible to control?
I tried to check output_log but there are no exceptions thrown.
pretty weird.
I took a screenshot from the font error :
Great job! kinda reminds me of doodle jump. (btw the first web link doesn't work as i am posting this)
I'm constantly surprised by the ideas people come up with.
This is another example of a game where you take a simple game mechanic and built around it.
I really like how the light goes darker when you run out of energy, good job!
I like the art style, only downside is that the first time i played, i didn't notice the ship.
Maybe the ship should stand out more?
Cool! The game design is amazing, very simple mechanic and the entire game is built around it. Love it!
I like the pace of the game, good job!
Well done! i really like the gameplay, it kinda reminds me of the older flash games.
Wow! the idea is very unique and interesting. good job!
Oh boy this is hilarious, good job!
I find it's hard to aim because the sensitivity is so high. Otherwise pretty cool game!
Cool game!
One downside to it is that i don't really like the control scheme.
I think this is very minor but you could display the coin count while the game is going on?
Pretty unique game, good job!
Doesn't work for me :(
I'm running windows 7 and there's no error messages or anything, the game just never starts.
This is amazing. The game fits the theme very well and man i love those graphics.
a game withing a game.. love it!
Probably the funniest player character that i've seen.
The gameplay feels too slow, it's not very interesting to press key and wait, otherwise the idea is great.
Very unique and simple game, good job.
Wow. this game is a complete package! simple, yet very entertaining, best one i have played so far!
The game feels kinda empty, i think harvesting energy could use some kind of animation. I like the art style though!
I like the idea! Fits the theme & those effects look really cool. Didn't get past level 1 thought. :(
I like the art style but it's missing the gameplay?
Cool game, very simple, maybe even too simple? fits the theme though!

Good job, fits the theme PERFECTLY, and the gameplay is very fun.
There's not much else i can say, you nailed it.
The More, The Worse by pikkufighter 2017-12-05T09:19:00Z ♥ 0
Yea, i had no idea what the actual objective was. I am guessing it's to shoot the thing that you see at the start? I shot it few times and nothing happened.
What is this score you're speaking of, how do i see it?
Also, i think a crosshair would be nice as it's very difficult to aim without one.
Dungeon Boy! by nardandas 2017-12-05T09:07:18Z ♥ 2
I thought the controls were great, felt very natural.
Audio and graphics are amazing considering this was done over a weekend.
Only problem is see in this game is that, i feel like i don't have a reason to explore the dungeon.
Hairball by instantnoedel 2017-12-05T08:59:19Z ♥ 1
I dislike the control scheme, it's very awkward to move with keyboard arrows and w to interact with stuff. Are you using your own tech to render the game? If so, that's very impressive.
The performance got really poor after the hair grew a bit longer, but this might be intentional as it's fitting the theme?
Night City Challenge by makerart 2017-12-05T08:46:09Z ♥ 2
Very interesting.
The camera effects look cool when you're in motion, the problem however is that the camera is changing constantly even when you fail to reach the target platform (at the beginning), which makes it incredibly hard to recover from failure.
I would make the camera change only when you're in motion and add some kind of replay button when you lose.

I like the idea, but for some reason i couldn't select the instrument near the singer. (this was in web build.)
Wonder Land by neowhoru 2017-12-05T08:20:46Z ♥ 1
The game has very cool design. I've actually never seen a game where you have to think which pickups you have to pick. the level 1 was amazing. level 2 was not as hard, atleast in my opinion.
f12 brings up the devconsole in web build, you might want to change the key. :D

Cool idea.
I think some kind of arrow indicator would be nice for the aiming. (not all the way)
Also, nothing happened when my ship got flipped over.
Hell-A Work by kukiri 2017-12-05T07:53:23Z ♥ 4
The game looks really good.
The first time i saw an employee jump out of the window, it was so unexpected that i couldn't stop laughing LOL.
There were few times where the employees just got stuck near the door when they were trying to leave, just thought i should mention this.
I Also noticed that you can get away with just always pressing yes to everything, you don't really need to think that much.
Overall, i thought the game was funny, but needs some new features.

My first thought was that the controls were quite janky, but it's probably by design, i just thought i should mention this.
I love the programmer art style, you nailed it in the graphics department.
I recommend that you don't start draining battery at the start, let the player see what's going on. Once they move once, start draining the battery.

Not only did you make the perfect game for this theme, you added some cool stuff to it.
Very impressive.
Right now the game is quite hard. I feel like the mirror is basically a deathsentence.
Other than that it's really good game.
