Awesome game! It's really well polished.
It took me a while to figure out I had to get into an orbit to complete the second. Once I did that it made me realise what the possibilities were.
I'd suggest making the points where the sensors change color more obvious, have them flash in the last second or something. And at times I wasn't sure where the source for a sensor was, might be nice to have a graphic for the sensor to remove any doubt.
You should definitely start off with some kind of a weapon. I did manage to survive and buy a weapon at first but it feels very unfair to be dumped into the room right on top of a load of monsters. Nice idea though!
You need as many peeps are as written on the tokens in order to collect them. To start you can send your 5 initial peeps to collect a 5 token. That will produce 5 more peeps that will let you pick up the artefact to finish the level.
@Cosmologicon You should start the second level with 3 green peeps.
@fgielow Yeah, once the peeps are trying to pick something up they can't be selected again unfortunately. I didn't have time to implement this for the competition but I'm still working on the game and will fix this for a later version.
It ran quite slowly on my PC but it does look quite pretty.
I was a bit confused as well. It seems like there might be an interesting game here but I was sending people up to defend and people just seem to occasionally disappear.
Cool game! I made it to the end, although I wasn't sure why the last level was really easy compared to the previous ones.
It would be nice to be able to just look at the level before starting any kind of timer. I found myself ignoring what was going on while planning my route and just restarting once I knew what I was going to do.
This is brilliant. Very tricky to get the hang of but once I did I spent quite a while working out the levels. I still haven't quite managed to do final mission but I intend to return to this and try again. Outstanding game!
I feel like this might be a good game but I'm really struggling to get to grips with it. I'm on the second room, sometimes the floor seems to give way when things are paused, I'm at the bottom now but I can't see anything because it's totally dark.
I quite like the idea of this game. I couldn't finish it unfortunately as stuff can kill you quite quickly.
Yeah, I second the idea of putting the controls on that page, they're WASD for anyone else looking.
I did find I could keep capturing robots and never really felt I was in danger of losing at any point. Maybe the robots could keep getting faster over time or something.
I like the music and sound effects. Quite a bewildering experience!
I like the idea of the game but I found it difficult to develop any kind of strategy for what I was going to do. 10 seconds is just too long with the ships fixed in one direction.
I couldn't really get into this. Moving units and the camera around seemed quite awkward.
I thought that was really good. My main complaint is that the course could have been longer because I was really getting into it.
Interesting idea! I really like the shimmer animation on the pieces.
I found I didn't have that much time to direct the bombs around though. I either got lucky and they ended up going the right way or I floundered a bit and had them explode. If they travelled faster there would be more scope to plan their route. The warning about where they were coming from might need to be longer in that case to give you a chance to plan. Just a thought though!
This is really good fun! For such a simple concept it works surprisingly well. I got a top score of 256.
Great looking game. I was also puzzled about what was going on with the timer. It just seemed to reset all the time.
Popping up a dialog box whenever you die gets a bit annoying. That 3rd level was really hard.
Fantastic game! The only comment is much the same as other people, getting to Daisy was really hard.
That was fun! It feels a bit slow at first but with everyone coming at you from all angles the speed is probably about right.
That was good fun! I liked the way the elements were gradually introduced so you could get used to them.
Short but fun. The controls seemed OK to me but it does that thing where you stop falling just before reaching the platform and then fall down again a little bit.
I'd have happily played a few more levels.
Interesting concept but, as others have pointed out, it needs a bit more work.
