The Ruins of Cuglatr 2 by unpronounceable 2021-10-05T20:59:16Z
Bug: At the turrets, choosing "Investigate" or "Shoot" resulted in the opposite action.
But I was still able to get the Power Down ending. This was a fun little adventure.

Is it terrible that this game makes total sense?
"OLD SPICE" was my favorite ingredient.
I was also somewhat distracted by the line break issue that @erikengineengineer and @mathiouza mentioned.
It was fun and did a good job of getting you to feel the rising intensity.
9281 on easy mode.
7480 on hard mode.
Even though it's a pretty simple concept, there was something very satisfying about it. SirBaLancelot.jpg
AAAaargh! So close! theStabilizer.jpg A neat little resource management game.
It took me a couple games to figure out why the ship wasn't responding to any controls, but then I got hooked and played game after game trying to visit all the planets. Never quite got them all, but I'll definitely be back to play this some more. Great game!
I finally won! MissionControl.jpg
I got stuck at loading screen. It said it was loading sounds.
@petturtle Thanks! I'm glad you were able to win.
@benjamin-halko It's a monster! I think the game usually crashes for me any time I get that many branches growing.
@zantze Thanks for playing!
I discovered a less fun shortcut to win. If you let it grow high enough, you can just chop off some of the left branch, and it will topple over into the goal.
@zain Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@albyk I'm happy to hear that it was engaging enough to keep you trying! The list of features I planned to implement has very few checkmarks next to it. I guess 48 hours enforces simplicity!
@loyance You might be right about the speed. I've found myself having a hard time catching up with the base of a branch growing away from me. Thanks for the input!
@ffernn Yeah, movement is probably one of the areas I'll revamp if I decide to try polishing this up some.
@thetatautau All good points. I was thinking this morning about how mouse control might work, and if I work more on it, I'll tweak size, speed, etc., plus hopefully I'll be able to mostly eliminate the glitchiness.
@arttu-halonen Yeah, the crashes when the physics gets wonky is my biggest disappointment.
@xpoho 🦔!
Thanks for the input everybody! I haven't had a chance today to rate your games, but I'll make sure I get around to it.
@fabdynamic Thanks for playing and letting me know you like the concept.
@bootak The only thing you can count on in this game is the crashes! Everybody's feedback is convincing me that it might be worth expanding at least on the chopping and sprouting aspect of this, and you're probably right that involving mouse and/or touch controls would probably be ideal. Thanks for the feedback!
@javicoder Yeah, I wasn't able to work out the :bug:s, so I just claim that's part of the instability!
@makimopl If you had fun, then my main goal was accomplished! Thanks for letting me know.
@nyxkn Oh, it needs a lot of polishing to become a good game, but I'm glad you liked the mechanic. I didn't get to making a win screen, so the changing color does indicate that you won!
@flying-dog-fish When you're on a branch, pressing the 'Z' key will chop the branch at your location, and pressing the 'X' key will cause the branch you're on to sprout new branches.
@flying-dog-fish Thanks for revisiting the game, and I'm glad you found it interesting!
@quadtree Thanks for playing! Although currently the goal is getting the sphere to the target, one potential idea for further development is to change it so the player has to get to certain goals.
Addictive trying to get just a couple blocks higher, but the explosion sound is the best part.
This one has me hooked. I might have to come back to it until I can win, same as I need to do with [Mission Control](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/mission-control) by @petturtle.
Great job making the creatures creepy!
Weird thing, when I ran this it would start up SteamVR. I didn't put on the headset to see if there was something going on in there.
I'm also getting a 404 page.
I had no idea that my voice was so annoying to bears!
