@yyz Thanks for feedback! Simple rules: Green bar indicates hunger, when it runs empty. 3 random citizens will die. You can decrease your hunger lost by building Green buildings. Also you can point out 1 of your citizens with white cursor and press X. Then determine if you want to sacrifice the citizen. Sacrifized citizen gives you little bonus on hunger bar. Blue bar indicates your technology, once it reaches full 3 bars game is over. You can increase the amount of technology you get by making Blue buildings. Building "Grey" buildings (gold mines) will increase your gold gain and allows you to build more buildings. Point of the game is to get 1 of each color which awards you 1 point. More points you get better. So when you are making sacrifices you should always find citizen that has least value to you eg. Color you got most at that moment.
Also simple instructions for moving and building: No mouse mouse controls. You move with your arrow keys. You can point 1 of your citizens with your white cursor and press Z, which will select the citizen and show it's Color. A to reverse and X to sacrifice it. Pressing X will move cursor to Building Screen (on right). With Up and Down keys you can select which building you want to build. After selecting correct building press Z, and then you can choose position of the building. Place the building with Z and reverse with A.
Invalid Position is called if you try to place building out of the map or above another building.
Because we ran out of time, game is basically impossible to lose since citizens will born be faster than hunger bar can never reach 0 when at under 3 citizens. Also thanks for pointing out the floating +1 gold, could have added that easily and we kind of regret not doing that. What comes to other instructions, we simply ran out of time. Ofc we could have added them on instruction page :(
Hopefully I answered all of your questions
I actually had something similiar in mind at first. Maby with some visualization of progress would help me really get into the game. Overally very nice work, Spreading fire + rose combo op :D!
@jcmonkey Thanks for feedback. Shooting was planned delay ( around 1.5secs). However if u check again, there is delayed animation but I admit it's bit off :). And yes, I messed up with movement, should have removed backpedaling completly since I didnt get it to work in time :(
@dougdevs Falling down after shot is meant to limit spamming. Thanks for the feedback!
@adroitconceptions Original idea was that all of 3 glows got different kind of behaviour, mostly meant to give space for the player. Basically having Left hand weapon and Right hand weapon + extra weapon in backpack which u can situationally swap for different situations. Now they are just same weapon with so minimal cooldown that swapping doesnt event make sense :D Thanks for the feedback!
Interresting idea and cool graphics
