Honestly, I did not understand what I had to do. The star map didn't change no matter where I drove and neither did the space-view. Maybe I'm just too tired to get it, though. I liked the low poly artwork though.
Its a really nice game. It is pretty hard to be honest but the gameplay is really nice. I had trouble reminding the positions where i had to put these things in. So its a game for masterminds.
I also liked the paint graphics :)
Love the vibe. Very heavy atmosphere. I'm a fan of Orwellian dystopias so extra props to you. The notes in the upper right are a great addition. Gameplay is somewhat addictive and harder than expected.
One suggestion: Give a short period when you get a new message where you can't type in anything. I pressed space right when my last message was disappearing and immediately screwed up the next one.
It was a really funny game until the point i could not figure out what to do next. My power and fans vanished for some reason and i did not know why. The wheels stopped rotating at some point.
Nice Idea. I think you could expand on this. But the art is all over place :o
No "Fall out of map" - detection.
I think you could give the game a nicer feel if you allow proper moving and attacking at the same time. Could work with the momentum you already have. Also give the player some more information. Although I read everything I didn't really get what I was doing or supposed to do.
What a fun little game! Unfortunately i was alone playing this game but even though i had a lot of fun. I like the minimalistic art. The only thing that was not that great was the amount of momentum. I bounced all over the place. I also got stuck in the blue box in the racing minigame once.
I could not click on any of the buttons on neither of the web build links you provided. Should maybe look into it and provide a fix.
Nice little experimental game. Is there an end to it?
Really Beautyfull art and very relaxing, I cant say anything else :) Great job!
What a nice game!
The amount of items is amazing. I couldnt figure out how to harvest my corn becuase scroll button destroyed the ground underneath it, so i just cheated :D
I like the lowpoly look. Maybe implement a* pathfinding, so you dont have to click tile for tile when moving around. But it was still an awesome experience.
Dialogues are really funny and I like the plot. Had some trouble figuring out that the arms swings proportionally to the mouse movement. I think it would've been more intuitive if you just made the arm point towards the cursor position at all times.
This is a really nice game. I had much fun playing it. The idea is great. Crushing those little guys and destroying their homes was very pleasing :D
Nice game. Simple mechanics that work really nicely. I like the minimalistic art too. God job :)
Really nice game. Good Graphics and nice gameplay! Easy to unterstand what's going on. Had much fun. Nice decrease in difficulty over the time.
The amount of content is really impressive if you did all of this in just 72h. Obviously block placement is a little bit buggy, you can place block inside existing ones and so on. Also love the art style and music.
The music and sound effects made me laugh, super awesome. The viewport could have been a little bit bigger though, sometimes you have to jump in a direction completely blind.
There isnt much game play and some instructions could be good. But i like the artwork :)
I made it to 533! Pretty cool game, played it on computer.
Awesome, i had really much fun playing the game. I think the turning is a bit too slow and i was not able to kill any enemeys, but maybe i am just too bad :D Nice physics and nice looking water by the way and the concept of managing your little guys adds a nice feature to the game. I am looking forward into it!
I like these kind of games. Loved the "BLARGH" sound effect when one of the slimes died.
As others have mentioned, the time you draw your bow should have more of an impact. When you quickly press and release, you still get a pretty good shot. I feel like instead you should've made the arrow just fall down when there's close to no loading time.
I also second the bug that you can just fire a bunch of arrows while the intro is playing, and they all get released as the game starts. Not a big issue though.
Overall I think you did a good job :)
Really cool little platformer, I spent quite a bit of time playing it! The animations are awesome and I also like the music and sound effects, specially the scratchy one. I do have a couple of suggestions though:
- The character controller could need a bit of work, I felt like the character movement didn't respond precisely to my inputs. I suppose you used a Rigidbody2D for the movement, am I correct? If so, I'd advise you to try a controller that uses raycasts instead, since you usually don't really want to have physics-based movement in a platformer. That way, you have full control over how you want your character to behave. I do understand though, that time is tight in a jam :D
- This is just my opinion, but I think I would have preferred no tiles instead of the tiles you just fall through.
Other than that you guys did a good job :)
Really nice mechanic. I love the character design. I would like to see what this game is turning into in the future!
I really like the idea behind this game and i also like the mini events that happen when travelling. I had fun playing the game until i bought a mercenary with 52 coins. So i had 2 left and i couldnt buy anthing more. I couldnt get any more money. And i think the haggle button is broken. I only could use it for one time.
Neat little game, though I have to say the colliders are a little bit too big in my opinion.
Been wanting to implement a 2D platformer with planets and gravity for a while now. You did a good job implementing that, though I wished the rotation would be smooth and not happen at certain points; however, I'm aware that that is probably not too trivial of a task and takes quite a bit of time to implement.
I liked the UI of the inventory and the art style in general.
Really nice game. Good looking and good physics. But getting eaten by shark while standing on the boat doesn't seem fair to me.
Cute animations and fun gameplay. Sometimes the arrow wouldn't follow the mouse though or disappear, which was a bit annoying (I'm on a Mac). Some sounds would have been nice too. Other than that a polished game, good job.
It's not a feast to the eyes to be honest. The Character is way to slippery.
I like the idea. In my first run I could barely reach the closest planet in 30 seconds. Might wanna check that. Is there a goal other than survive?
