Alone In The Universe by zlaper 2011-12-19T20:25:00
Nice little game with good puzzles, they could have been a bit harder, but nice nonetheless.

Nice little game with good puzzles, they could have been a bit harder, but nice nonetheless.
You need Irrlicht (1.7.2) and Irrklang(1.3.0). It is also stated in the Readme. I probably upload a linux version later today, currently installing ubuntu 32bit for it (I hope I didn't forget how to compile c/c++ on linux)
Thank you Pierrec.
Try to be open, there are more ways you can beat them ;)
Ludexor Studios the game crashed? Are you using Windows Vista/Xp? Do you have Dxd9 installed? Driver Nvidia / Ati? Do you have a crash report for me?
@Yezu: I installed Ubuntu, compiled, no problems at all, but running seemed a problem. I get a "Segmentation fault" Well as a windows user I don't see the problem, except some windows like case unsensitive paths ... maybe I get it to work later, but please some suggestions if you tried it on linux.
For a source archive including all necessary libs, a makefile and codeblocks project see below:
http://direct.4vandorp.eu/redirect.php?urlId=5
Same as Justin Kibbe, no file to download
With the Earth destroyed the universe is mine? :0 I didn't notice the planet regenerated until it was too late :P haha, took some time ^^ Fun game :)
The game freezes quite a lot, didn't get very far playing.
Nice idea but I never seem to manage to take the fortress! hey always have way more units :( event hough I had 80 and they 60? Enjoyed it nevertheless :) poor spacebar :D
I can't get the EXE working on Windows8 it complains about the javaw in the wrong location, tried to start it with command line parameters towards the javaw but that didn't matter much. The LD25.jar doesn't work sadly.
I agree on the checkpoints :) But rather nice game otherwise.
The game froze everytime after 2 seconds, including on IE10, IE9, Opera, FF and Chrome... :(
Beautiful game! Took me a while to realize that the cows gave health ^^ Nice,
I feel as a real villain! Muwahaha, killed myself with the arrow :( I liked how you can drive them all in the corner and then kill them with a firebomb :D Like a flock of sheep. Nice concept :) I could just run the JAR without issues not like Gemberkoekje says. (Windows)
Nice game! And they're thankful I was the villain :P The world couldn't be ended by me :( Nice graphics and game mechanics.
It looks very nice but I didn't get far... The idea, graphics and feel are perfect but the rules are not clear when you start. (I missed the next turn) Managed to sell 5 gram of drugs I think ^^ then I got shot by my employees? Turn 8 or something :/ :D
Fun game to play, after level3- steal the uranium I got lost, all the people where shot and didn't seem to be able to anything anymore except shooting in the elevator.
This game was really neat! I was amazed when the cardboard moved away showing more :D Your cardboard style = win
Lovely how you did the lighting and I like how strafing worked, didn't see any issue there. :)
Amazing atmosphere Gungir, nicely polished jam entry!
Awesome game, nice graphics, nice floor ;) Loved it, played it several times just watching the floor break :D
Graphics fits the jelly style :D I wish I heard them squeak being an evil villain :D And agreed with gilesa! I tried that, throwing jellies at them in a reflex! They just seemed to look more angry and multiplying.
Overall a nice game, spent way too much time punching jellies today ;)
Good idea about the bow slowing you down while aiming ;) fun little game.
The rules don't seems clear to me, I only got the Turn based part working I think? Got the xxxxx ;) Got some points but it kept continueing. The normal map didn't show anything useful. Help?
Fun and challenging to play. Really good and polished. :) Had some issues with running too.
Fun game, placed the entire sea full of ships and waited while goats roamed the lands :D Smiling,
Nice game though the difficulty could have been a bit higher ;) Love the red sea :D
Nice audio tutorial :) I agree with Ashkin about the paths. Fun game.
A very nice game! :) Played it with fun. I have no idea how I was supposed to kidnap the princess, I though clicking, but that killed her :( The graphics have a nice style
Cool idea, but I didn't get how to get minions, I had one but he died apparently... :(
:0 No words, and this game really made me feel the villain ^^ Nice game but it gets repetitive quickly
Nice and good working game. It's fun to send out an entire army of minions to the hero. It was a bit hard to find out how many minions are where later in the game. Not directly clear which tiles were left empty. (except hovering the tile). The hero could be anyone, he should have been busy saving kittens or something. events like : "The hero saved Muskan Town" :P
Overall I played it with joy. I would love to see a new version in the future :)
I like this game and setting. Most of the time the gold cube gets captured by green! :0 Arg!
Really neat!
Quite hard to fly :) but rather nice idea
Nice gameplay. I liked the style very much!
Sad you've marked it for web while not everyone can play the web version...
The game was way too easy :3 only click space and I won. But I enjoyed it! And the story telling is nicely done. Didn't feel like the villain though :P poor skeleton was the victim :(
This quite a hard game! Typing those letters and moving the mouse along the path. I cheated with my pen tablet :3 I like this innovative idea!
Fun fun, tried to pickup the tanks but that didn't seems to work xD fun little game, kept me occupied for a while
Fun game and nice graphics! Bit hard but kept playing, that's a good thing! :)
A bit easy, won with only 2 dungeons, kept placing imps in ^^
But I love it! :D Really nice art, really cool game. Well done.
Fun game. Would have been fun if we could have sent some guards to the towns and break them ;) lowering the amount of heroes send upon you.
Very nice game. I like the graphics! :) The game was a bit short and I'm unsure why I was infiltrating.
Simple game, but I never got past the last hero :( Enjoyed it.
It runs super in IE10 :) nice game.
Making such a noise! They're just inviting you to collect them ;) Nice! Liked the graphics too, the red fitted the gore :p
Good game! I like the RTS element. Very steady job on the graphics. Simplistic and yet fitting the game. Played it with much joy.
Yes thank you for noting. Changed the main download link to another node. It should be much quicker now.
Thank you for playing JacksGamesSucks. I'm not sure what you mean with the twisted game logic? A good villain should be twisted to reach its target. But the gameplay itself is rather linear. Can you explain what you mean? Thanks ;)
I'm unsure about what you mean with "I think the game was made earlier", is that supposed to be a compliment? It isn't nice to accuse someone.
@Jlebow the subtitles tell you what you have to do and the TODO list on the large map next to you in the control room shows a list of things, mainly: destroying cities.
@Wukkopi currently only the minimap shows the position of the station. An indicator would have been useful ^^. Stroking it on the todo list didn't make it sadly :(
@Razion hard thing to find tune such difficulty :( Not sure what you did but you can go down to the Canon room and set priorities on the drones driving there instead of waiting in the drone & control rooms.
@pighead10 Managing the base costs allot of energy ;) As pighead10 notes, the music didn't get as much polishing as the rest of the content :p but yeh, 48 hours - some decent amount of sleep ;)You could check out my "How did I do it" guide from last year.
@Jiggawatt Exactly what I was aiming for, except the music part :P
@Alex Rose & moomoo112 if you check the Earth after you shot you can tell there's little chance you missed the spot ;) It leaves a huge crater
That's odd zenmumbler, maybe the archive was corrupted on expanding? The code used is pure C++, no win api. You can recompile it on your Linux or Mac system too using the Irrlicht and Irrklang libs. Irrlicht supports OpenGl and software render :)
Web build, no sadly, for Mac the source should directly compile under mac but I don't have a Mac system to compile on. Still busy with that ;) :(
Plays rather nice, I liked the interaction between mobs and pleb. Enjoyable!
Fun game, with some animations it would be superb, the AI seemed quite good too, or I was rather bad ;) I'll go with first. :D
Very nice and polished game. Not much to do but enough to keep you occupied trying to get the best out of it :) Ran smoothly too!
Love the pressure build up. Had some minor issue figuring out how to move them, but that was the only inconvient :) Nice concept and fitting graphics.
Not very challenging but really polished look and controls. Fun to play to, nice.
My highscore is -2 meters :o how, pretty funny game :)
@the you can change difficulty ;)
I like the atmosphere. Poor sidekicks only having one small shield!
Maybe you could see one of my previous games for some ideas about the ship and items to defend/repair it, it's based on the "You're the villain"
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-25/?action=preview&uid=8175
I'm Always a fan of orbiting things. Nice and challenging!
Very funny game! Loved it. Nothing to add there :)
Haha, that train running you over! Lovely. Played it a couple of times.
How do the checkpoints work as I restart every time at the beginning?
The look is clean and simple. I like that. I sometimes die out of the blue while there aren't any red cirlces to be seen near them. Highscore 981 :P This game has a lot potential!
I don't see how being invisible would help. If I become invisible I can't walk and the drones just move to where I was last seen. I like the smoke and light effects. Fun idea.
I like this game's view on asteroid and the satellite dishes orbiting with their own speed. I think I did more damage to earth than all of these asteroids.
I don't miss anything with the death and respawn, it was pretty clear to me :) I could play this for hours.
Fun concept, although some drugs make it to easy! Do the drugs ever wear off?
I disliked that everyhallway seemed the same, no clues to how to get out, just a maze. The ambient itself is pretty good :) Didn't see any monster in your entry, but the buffed versions differs in that :P Would love to play it again if you improve the repeating surroundings!
Humorous interactive story :) Made me chuckle! Thanks reliable journalist
Makes me think about that game, gold digger was it? I like it! Although the game seems to reset manualy on me without me knowing why :( Fun to play otherwise.
Impressive idea and execution, it works great.
The menu system is indeed very nice. Overall good quality :)
Same as Jakub, took me some time to understand how the torpedo's worked. I'm not very good at planning the torpedo's though :P poor islands got hit to often. ^^ nice idea
I love how your head can save you so many times ;) See my screencap: https://twitter.com/strong99/status/412891060956700673
Fun game! But I didn't get very far though.
Fun game! Nice pixel art too. I didn't make it to the doctor :(
The game only wants to load the framework plugin in Firefox, and the game gives me a black screen with the Laps and TIME labels displayed. I let it there for five minutes in the idea it was loading. Any idea what's wrong? I would love to play it! :)
Hi, found a different system on which it worked :) forgot to leave a new comment. Fun game, unusual to avoid coins ^.^ I like the twist it.
Nice entry. I liked it!
So simple yet so addictive to play! I really like your graphics. Shooting seemed a bit off, didn't seem to hit anything :P I was avoiding everything like crazy!
This is the most creative game I've seen in the entries :) Nice game!
Simple and nice!
I adore the chain reaction.
That's odd. Other players didn't say so. You can try clicking the star at the right top though. It skips the intro.
Otherwise, what browser are you using? Please let me know if you have any more issues.
Thanks for the compliment on the graphics!
Thanks :) Jumping might be a bit off depending on the framerate as I tried to make it playable for low framerates too.
@plancien: You could try to make the game window smaller or use the smaller one on my blog ~600px wide. Or check if your chrome is up to date. When I play tested on my laptop I had to update my firefox to run smoothly.
The gray areas are underground or rather walled as you can't see the background moving like in the rest of the game. Thanks.
Thanks nerial.
>>Those who have issues playing the game when they reach the start sign. Try to play the fullscreen version rather than the iframe. It seems OSX prohibits some actions. I tested it on a friend's MAC OSX lion (chrome and safari)
@juaxix You should have noted I rated that game three hours before you posted this ;) Nice you love dragons :) They're epic
Owh did not leave a second/new comment... :P sorry
@Diptoman Could you elaborate on the collision glitches? The only thing which is a bit off is the jumping mechanism.
@jacklehamster: Thanks, I had a hard time understanding what you exactly meant :P But I figured something like this.
It took me a while to understand that animals are dangerous too xD nice gameplay.
Neat presentation. It has the feel and idea of something magnificent, are you going to extend it?
This reminds me of the good old Transport Tycoons :) I loved it.
I like the wizard's skin. What's that square in the top right corner? It never changes.
It looks very neat and plays like a charm! But I can't see where it fits the contest its theme.
Great story and graphics but, is there a way to change the ending? :/
@kristof I think its supposed to do that. There's not much.
@Zyper What was your idea on it? It's more an interactive movie like this :) The windows binary went crazy, (too high speed or framerate)
That ended to be a lengthy city. Good thing those citizens get smaller each generation otherwise we would have a shortage of clouds ;) Fun! The themes connection is that you're beneath the surface of the clouds?
I won, but how I did that I don't know, I was just taking a stroll next to a table after having read almost all screens. But the confusing world is definitely a plus.
404 error on your urls
Quite disorienting and hard to get in the rhythm. Some feedback to the player when you get hit would have been nice. But quite addictive too.
Cool concept. Hard to play with two when you can't see the other's playfield. Controls are a bit sturdy but overall a good concept with a lot of intrigue :)
I don't see the connection to the theme, how? It's was fun playing.
Is there an end? Or does it continue forever? I've collected an massive amount, but... what's next, no winning? It looks really neat and plays like a charm otherwise!
I don't mind the graphics :) they're not to bad. But it got it bit boring after the fifth level with 18 treasures. If it has a good fail condition it would be a lovely game.
Nice take on the classic mining games.
Overall idea perfect, innovation? perfect!
The screenshots looks promising, but sadly no game to play.
Loved the switching between characters, didn't feel like the art 3d vs 2d where in balance. I agree with okmmjyygv it became a bit of repetitive. Loved the background!
Very good gameplay and interesting AI. Took a while before I understood the slowdown in creating bridges. Loved the mass famine when there was too much of the resource on a planet.
Neat artwork! Very nice. Very brutal indeed.
The concept seemed fun, very confusing because it lacks feedback while your dragging lines. Maybe arrows will make it easier to spot which direction the source goes. The first four levels where straightforward, but it got a web of lines when there appeared more colours.
It's a phone number right? Swedish? What to expect?
That's an original idea. Fun, I liked it. Sadly Chrome AND IE11 both crashed several times after endbosses (because Flash stopped working, a bug?) Made me restart several times :(
The text was hard to read, but the dimensional part is rather nice.
Ooch, that's a hard game. I killed millions? :'( Good art style and music.
The idea is nice but it was hard to understand the rules for diversity. Why would I open any door at all if I should maintain diversity of population?
Very nice puzzles. Good tutorial. And good feedback on what I do while playing.
I can't reproduce that. But I added a cached version with a separate link. If you still experience any problems, ask :)
@coffeemuggames Thanks.
@DrCicerco The research gives you a clue on the location on the map. You should find a route to get there. Disabled nodes get enabled after a while, fastests is by guards. There are at least 3 routes to get to the end.
@FurtherForm, No, that's halfway through. You need to get to the base, which is mentioned in the research and displayed on the map. The red screen is just a variation. The game ends with a cinematic like the start. The game ends with the text "The End" ;)
@vandriver <spoiler> Their homebase icon on the map gives the hint about who they are.
@Spotco Hehe, it was quite hard to achieve a immersing and solid story, and a fun game in 48 hours ^.^
If you have any suggestion on the ending or otherwise, feel free to contact me through twitter @strong99 or linkedin. I appreciate it.
Great, tower madness, it'll definitely be better with touch controls!
I placed a Forge and Worshipper. But it's so tiny. How do I know something is happening? The red dot seems to stand still on the grass, how much I try to select (leftmouse) and order a goto (rightmouse) or chop tree (C).
Ended up playing it for a half hour straight. Simple but really Addictive.
Entertaining. Didn't have any issue with flipping, but I kept bumping into purple blocks :P they're attractive,,,
Looks good, easy to use controls, good audio.
Very nice atmosphere
They should add a story part to the scoring. Nice little story with puzzles
Awkward, but rather fun combined with the physics of the gun. Clean graphics. Nice.
Really nice game to play, well done :)
Loved the little bots! Even though not all of them got hit by the fans, they fell anyway when they hit the felt down fan ^.^ Enjoyed it! I want one UUR.
Funny game and I like the graphics a lot!
Cool game, especially the graphics and the way you need to use both of the characters to get further in game. It's a promising end. Well done!
Loved the ending and the idea! Controls were a bit confusing at first but easy to use aftwards. Love the icons. Clear enough for me!
Funny game, nice to play :)
This is fun! But I don't think I'll use this for hunting them in my room. Simple and yet stylish game.
Nice game! I like how the main character moves around and jumps, nicely done!
It's such a cool game! And like my sister says, it's adorable and cute! Well done :D
Funny game to play, I like the graphics!
I like your graphics; they are simple, yet very cool! The game is nice to play and addictive ;-)
Yes, I found the princess! I really liked the game, cool graphics and nice game to keep playing.
Funny game to play!
I like the game, it's funny to play. I wished that when I destroyed one of the enemies, it would also destroy the one right behind it. But besides that, it was good to play. Simple in the beginning, but getting difficult quite fast. Well done :)
Nice graphics! I like how you need to use the controls to keep going straight :)
My fingers hurt! Reminds me of the old days but better. Loved it. The online highscores didn't show here :(
It's like a dark memory game. Enjoyed the horrific atmosphere.
Creepy game! But nice to play and I like the graphics.
Understanding how your pet runs to its food took a while depending on the platforms. He can't jump, the poor thing :( Wasn't able to get a very high score. Enjoyed it though!
I like the idea of the game :) It's funny to scare all the people and let them panic.
It does remind me of those old console games! Neat. Lovely. Controls work very easily.
I adore the art style
Extremely funny and well made. Well done! I agree with @fserb, amazing strip attack
Funny game and familiar controls. I can never flee?
Could you explain a bit more? I understand camera mode changes the light bolts and they need be sometimes on a pressure plate, but in level 3 I'm lost. Can't figure out when the camera is able to take a picture. Neat style though!
Ended up playing this game for quite a while.
Worst grandpa ever! How's he able to jump like that with his heart! :o Too funny, enjoyed the easy gameplay
Funny and addictive game! Well done :)
Cool game! Funny that by protecting your sheeps you must shoot sheeps away, haha. I found it hard to keep the wolfs away by running around the fence; the wolfs were way faster than me. But still good game!
Nice game!
Funny game, I enjoyed playing it. :D
The challenge was missing :( But it was nonetheless! I liked the art and table flipping broom actions.
I like the creativity of this game! The only sad thing is that I didn't have enough poetries to save all those grey persons =/ But I made it to the end ^_^ Nice game!
Good atmosphere. I liked the strategy and clear gameplay. I didn't understand why the game ended with the message "Back to main menu" did one side win?
Nice twist on the fight game type. Enjoy the environment changing by the players!
Funny game!
I liked the game, especially the magic music that is needed to get you further. :)
I enjoy physics games! Too bad I'm really bad at those :) Unable to finish is sadly. Loved the Portal vibe too. Fun game.
Funny to have eggs as weapon, haha. Nice job :)
Nice game to play!
Unexpectedly fun. I loved the background style. Learned I need to read the how to. Getting more cash was easier than I thought.
Love the art and dinosaurs! Found a friend and dug some holes, they all loved me for it. Can you do more in the game?
I really like the graphics and the sound of the game! The game itself I found rather hard to play, couldn't find out how to win it. I suppose I wasn't scary enough with the insults, hehe
Simple and yet addicting! Loved it.
Amazing how well this worked. Too bad some indications where missing like finishing place. Overall well done!
Thanks. That would have been better. Currently popups that interfere with gameplay also disappear after several seconds, beside being invincible during the popup ;)
@Nuishira Completely oversaw that detail. The plane was moving differently before. It wasn't supposed to be mirrored at all.
@yuigoto Ai, sounds like a small bug.
@eddynardo On it!
@HunterAugust On it!
I love the blood graphics and intro screen a lot D: Very nice to see what you have been able to add in those few hours after we had split up. I never got to the end of the game though... Some guards are just ninja fast with shooting.
Thanks, fixed the instruction.
Strike: you have to prevent the figures from coming through the windows and get to you. A bit like the old Wak-a-rat kind of games.
Hexagor & Dianouille: which browsers and version do you use? Thank you.
Thank you for playing the game and the comments.
You can only eat a fish if you "hit" its head, if you go up at his tail, you're to late. Hitboxes do sometimes skip in some browsers, I'm checking on that.
I love these kind of adventures. the text scrolling was a bit hard on my eyes though. Even though I never escaped, enjoyed it!
I think it's very neat you used real looking pictures and made an animal forest. It has a good atmosphere and nice dialogs.
Thank you for your comments, the speedy shape allows you to attack and interfere with the enemy's attack.
Pretty awesome concept. Though, I never found her :(
The difficulty skyrocketed creating a challenge not often seen... well... the poor guy. Loved the simplicity. It was start and play, no tutorials needed! Lovely.
A social multiplayer game, well done.
I always wanted to manage a nuclear facility, I think I know now why I never took the job. Definitely not suited for the job xD
An awesome strategy game in the making! Instand follow.
Lovely art. I loved exploring this generated world.
Thank you @lederhosen, @sgstair. I'll be watching your stream later @sgstair.
@sgstair & @shodanon: The forest also clean the neighbouring tiles from pollution. If you find the correct pattern you barely have to switch out. Farms do little pollution, but you're able to keep an industry tile clean too, with a few neighbouring forests.
It was obvious I could create things with the crafting grid, and collect items, but I was unable to figure out what I could craft. I never got much further than crafting a few torches. Could you tell us how to figure this out? I would love to retry the game. Give me a shout on twitter if I miss your response here. Twitter: @strong99
Thank you for playing. Odd that the audio effect work yet, the music does not play for you. Would you like to share which OS and browser(+version) you are using?
Hi Duke, the menus do work with both mouse and keyboard. I might have put a little too much work in finding a solid art and music style this time. Adding more animations would have forced me out of the Compo into the Jam sadly.
Cute and well polished. Loved the art and gameplay. Well done for a compo!
As previous said, surprisingly addicting and it took a while to complete. Loved it.
Very neatly put together. Gameplay and graphics are well balanced. Easy to understand and enjoyable.
151 years on the second try. Loved it, share @ThatzNiko's enthusiasm on style. A very polished game and easy to understand gameplay mechanics.
It seems I should not switch jobs, yet. Unable to get over 70 cents... Loved the style of the bar. The mood was stressful. :)
I loved the simple combat system. I'm not sure if I noticed a global event happen.
I tried to play it, however the game opened up to 'Leave home to start the game' and the cursor does not match the tile highlighted and the console gave these errors: (on win11, resolution 1920x1080)

My apologies, checked the archive and reuploaded it. Should work now.
Thank you for playing. I've tried to get the same issue and found a couple scenarios where this is possible (bugs): 1. The second recruit is doing no damage, but the player is. Give the recruit some equipment/re-equip. 2. If the battle never ends, try refreshing the page. The game auto-persists as long as you don't close the browsertab.
I enjoyed the troop management with the vampire survivors survival like gameplay.
An example of "instructions unclear, destroyed my ...". Funny short game 👍
Loved the consistency of pixel art style. Controls took a bit to get used too, but the gameplay was smooth and fun overal.
One of these games where children excel on the memory part. It was fun. Hard to remember more than the first row of chests. 1186 on a second attempt with only 4 chests in use.
Did not understand I was not able to catch anything in the tutorial area, but once I got passed it, happily surprised at the classic battle scene to reel in the fish. Fun and exciting way of fishing.
Really lovely art and music style. If I had to search the critters in a future update, it would be so rewarding to pet them.
Played it through the unity link. Worked smoothly.
Loved the atmosphere and the beautiful background art in the menu but also the game level. The gameplay was a bit confusing; can you only avoid enemies? Because in the lowest part of the level going up is blocked, and there's an unavoidable enemy plant.
An enjoyable strategic experience with simple yet fitting graphics. Loved it.
You might be able to verify by first generating a solvable path, e.g. 20 points = 3 Kringles + some = ~4 paths that need to match energy usage. And then add additional path branches and items. An alternative is to apply a heuristic using the (distance - energy upgrade) / score to your solver, like a weight/heat map.
I only get a black screen with music after the loading screen finished, and your website doesn't load either. Would love to try again later.
Press the Fish button, or keyboard key A or Space. A fishing rod line will drop, and you have to wait for nearby fish to become interested.
@tiar Love the fish collection desire :) Cool!
It's possible if you hang still and hang out the fishing rod. It's a bug though. The chests think they're fish. An error from the last minutes of the Jam.
I think the random gen. had it out for me on my first playthrough, as the second time I had much more stone in the 1st depth. Making the entire second play through much quicker.
Lovely resource management game. The layer level is done just right. The resource collection system however is a bit unforgiving on a first play through.
That ending sounded quite dark to me :sweat_smile:
@dhim thanks for playing. The images being larger than the screen didn't work out as I thought. At least the navigation is not optimal sadly. If you have a larger screen there's less scrolling.
I made the editor from scratch and spent too much time on it, more than 1/3 of the time... I had thought it would be quicker to set up, but I had not sketched out how I was going to build it. Though, it was really nice to have when putting things together in the last hour.
The music was blocked by some Cross origin policy. Fixed that one. It's now working on the LDJam site too :)
@soloadventurergames thanks for playing. It's not clear how to return home indeed, especially on smaller screens. You can find the back arrow button on the map view (left top) and then in the left bottom corner there's an arrow.
Felt as a well-rounded game, with clear instructions to get into it. Well done.
Cute style. Octo eluded me. Loved the eyes.
This was a fun little strategy game. Art and music felt made for each other and gave a nice medieval vibe.
Great visuals and atmosphere. Loved the style. The concept was enjoyable.
@ryrumeli Instead of a progress bar we tried to visualise it with how many sparks came out of the machines. Perhaps a bit too subtle. @psevdonim The control panel shows the machines broken a bit too early, even though they still work enough to progress. In hindsight I think the signal bar itself is not clear enough whether the signal is matched vs machine broken state, same with the sparks, the visual threshold could have been higher.
Thanks for playing everyone.
Fun to play a bit. I think tutorial is nice, however not required, figured it out quickly enough, especially when I encountered an enemy that was sabotaging me. A bit surprised I met my objective with just scanning one target.
Amazing mood and feel. Enjoyed the game
Nice, chill, and relaxing! I really loved the mood and sound design, it was a very cool atmosphere to enjoy the music to. The core gameplay felt a bit repetitive, if you saw yourself moving to another place, it would be perfect!
After playing the first round, I thought, perhaps I should be more thoughtful on which quests I take, but every re-play seems to end the same. Whether I end up negative, zero or positive likes, are there other endings? Would love to replay again if so.
