LD45 — Start with nothing

Star Smasher by kakarotsan 2019-10-09T14:44:12Z

Really really like it! A simple yet smart concept with neat making. imo, it's just lack some feedbacks (especially the black hole, it's annoying dying without understanding why) and more levels (i wanted so much more).

The concept is simple but efficient for the player's experience. It's clever to change the shot system at every level, that forces the player to adapt his position in the space to kill the enemies. That creates diversity in the gameplay. Maybe add some more vFX to the enemies or colors more different

The best aesthetics I've seen so far!! I felt so much alone in an post-apocalyptic desert! It's maybe the reason I'm so frustrated as I dont find the gameplay very interesting. Nonetheless, a pretty solid game overall and a really good entry.

Really fun overall. I love characters. Rainbow sheep are a good surprise. Too bad the beginning is a bit long and the end comes too quickly without inconvenience. Nice work !

Great job for a strategy game in a very short time. the group is difficult to control during the fight. But it makes you want to continue to try hard. Good Job!

Fun, i loved tiny zombies. Where is the boss ? Some problems with wall colliders. Good job !

Great mechanics ! The choice of environment and colors is a little bad for the eyes. But Gameplay challenge is here ! And this is the most important. Good Job, keep going.

Thanks to all of you for the comments. Sadly, Bitbucked played us a litle trick and we lost our levels as we merged the project during the "polishing" phase. So you played with the back-up build from the previous commit. We remade the lost parts this morning (after some sleep ;) ) and it will publish soon.

Thank's a lot to everyone for testing and your advices. ^_^

@hare-software ; @dane-tesla The level needs more playtest for a real challenge flow and keep the player. We should focus on fewer things next time. Absolutely, the rendering contrasts with the rest. We missed time to work on a better UI.

@sergio1811 That is the result of several iterations around the theme. At first, we started with a player who was moving on a map with only an exit door. And to reach the exit door, the player can jump. The jump action creates a platform for each jump made. But we realized that the player ended up getting stuck with the accumulation of platforms. The inertia of the runner made the experience fun but too difficult to master. So we take the decision to create and control only the platforms. I hope you better understand our decision with the theme. And Yes, good idea ! I think it is possible to adapt the mechanics for mobile to make the concept more interesting.

A Field of Flowers by KeithSwanger 2019-10-09T13:43:02Z

Really nice experience. We can draw with the sun or the flowers. I've been tricked by the time spent on this game. Good Job !

Now Grab The Gun! by fallcresthero 2019-10-09T13:40:45Z

Really good feedbacks (like camera shakes or particule emitters) that deserve well the UX !! The level design is complicated but just that it needs. It catches me for few minutes, i really wanted to finish the levels ahah. Various enemies give an interesting diversity of gameplay to find a solution. Maybe add some sounds FX or music can complete the UX and give more feels, but i understand that's not your cup of tea. It's pleasant to play this game and to complete the levels !! GG
