It look me longer than I care to admit to realize that shooting the gun had recoil by which I could move: could maybe point that out with a quick banner, because it made me think the game was broken for about 3 minutes, haha. I liked the visuals, and I'm a sucker for fart sounds, so: good go!
Blah, couldn't get past the controls after four tries. I understand abstractly what I'm supposed to do, but I'd've been greatly helped if the view 'rotated' with my orientation.
Sensitivity of controls was pretty touchy, but I really liked the sound design. It was a little difficult to see, and the motion was a bit floaty, at least for me. Good show though :)
Very polished for just a few days! I'll admit I didn't get super far, since I didn't quite crack a strategy. But I thought the art was quite good, and I liked the voice-overs. I was a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out what to build for defenses, and I didn't have a very strong idea of what things to prioritize: the spread was intense. But my inability to play RTS games doesn't stop me from giving this a big thumbs up
@hierarch Apologies! I'm on mac so wasn't able to test the windows executable. Try my just-made web version of 2954: http://sewerbird.github.io/scripts/LudumDare42/index.html
@mza Were you on an empty tile? The "Advanced Knowledge Unit" mentions that you can only drop diskettes on empty tiles in the second level. If you were on an open square, let me know: it seems to be working on my end
I definitely thought it was intriguing, but I just couldn't really wrap my head around what to do. I delayed what seemed like the inevitable, making as many and as large triangles as possible to contain the mutating squares, but not actually sure how I'm supposed to win. It had a definite mood though!
I'll echo the issue about the controls being clunky on dual-monitor: window-locking would've been real nice. I also got stymied at the menu until I realized I had to click and hooold the menu buttons to make them work. I loved the music you composed, it had a good theme, and the graphics seemed right out of Final Fantasy for the folks. I was expecting some more interesting mobs to show up, or for the level to end at some point, but was a nice 5 minute romp: I got to 700!
Made me wish I had taken the defragmentation algorithms class back in college! Well executed over all, although there's something tactile-y 'off' about the moving of rectangles around. I understood the wrapping, but click-selecting-dragging wasn't always very snappy, which added some frustration. It felt challenging without being unfair, though, so I had a fun 10 minutes :)
I can't see to crash anything, and there doesn't seem to be any guns to shoot off. It's not a big problem though because there aren't any enemies to shoot at :-)
Just needs more time: I like the idea of a text-based 1944 game. Compo crush?
The audio is pretty nice. I kept trying to climb the vines but didn't figure that out, so I relied on screen wrapping. Nice!
