Great game! It looked great and played well. The music was also great. Found that you didn't need to look very long before you could just redistribute all of your coins to just get everything in one go. While it was really well made, it also wasn't amazingly fun to play. Great concept though!
Great game! I'm pretty harsh when it comes to these entries but this one nailed it for me. Visuals were cohesive and thought out. Music, sounds and atmosphere were great. Added then the double implementation of the theme and solid gameplay makes for an awesome entry! My only few nit-picks about the game are: 1. I'm the same color as the enemies. It didn't really mess me up but it would have been nice to stand out and draw a bit more focus to the player. 2. Navigating was pretty difficult. Now, I understand that finding the switches was the main obstacle of the game. My only concern with this is when you reach very wide open areas, it's hard to have a clue as to where to go.
Other than that, really great game. I enjoyed playing it!
Pretty great game! I enjoyed it when I was able to play it. I was only ever able to get to level 2 before the game kept crashing on me, which was too bad because I really wanted to move ahead. Otherwise, great job!
The game looks and sounds wonderful. A lot of work put into that (besides the character and enemies sliding around... but ya know). I also didn't like how the laser aim was not aligned with the cursor. Plus, I stopped playing after about 100 kills and got bored. Great game though, it'll be cool to see what you guys do with it.
I liked your entry a lot! It was fun with some well thought out mechanics (Like the doors, for instance). It had an interesting stealth aspect (kinda) with some run and gun stuff too.
I also wanted to recommend putting the "Return to Pod" notification on as a HUD rather than just by the pod. Also, being able to hold the fire button so that you could fire as soon as you reloaded would be a nice feature as well.
Keep it up thought and it'll be great!
The fact that you shoot your own planets from the backwards bullets is pretty genius, it was really fun and am going to enjoy playing it in the future.
Great game! Looks great and is a really cool concept. Pretty difficult, but a challenge is appreciated. My only gripe is that the hitboxes of everything seemed a little ridiculous. I was dying to things I wasn't even close to. Made it pretty frustrating for me. Other than that though, I think it's a great submission!
So, never played the game. My computer was downloading it for a while and never got anywhere. Plus, it's a .rar file so I'm not sure how I would have ran it when it was completed but... I hope it was a pretty good game.
Pretty neat. There were lots of weird little bugs and whatnot, but it was pretty fun. I would have liked to just be able to hold the mouse button to fire instead of rapidly clicking on it. Either way, pretty good job though.
Yeah, I want to be nice and constructive. So I'll try my best. You don't need me to tell you about the controls. I would have liked to have something to offer you health. The transitions between stages were ugly and the music was poorly written (Sorry Cameron). With more time this could be something, and I get your time crunch, but I did not enjoy this much at all.
Those burgers were pretty great though.
Pretty awesome game! I can tell there's a lot of generation code behind this. I really like the idea of killing enemies to build your ship and become stronger. My concern is that the building mechanic isn't super fleshed out yet. The firing button is the same as you dragging button, and if you drag a piece just a bit out of place it just destroys itself. Movement was really slow as well. With more work, this will be a great game!
The art and the music are great. I like the idea, and the execution was great. My problem is the controls. If you're using WASD controls and W isn't being used for anything else, W is to jump. Making it space is just awkward. And, if you're going to use the mouse buttons for shooting, use the mouse for aiming. Because the mouse button was for shooting, I found myself tying to aim with the mouse as well. If you can work that all out, it'd be a great submission.
Pretty cool game. The aging mechanic is really creative. The music was good and the visuals were solid. My problem honestly was the gravity. It was really low, meaning that it was really hard to control your character once he's in the air. And most of the jump you need to jump right from the perfect spot to make it. Those are my concerns. But other than that, good entry and I hope you work on it more.
Looked pretty good. Graphically it works well. Some of the game mechanics are... interesting. I was not a fan of the music at all. Decent submission though.
Cool atmosphere. I wish there was a fire-rate instead of just spamming the mouse button to fire. Most games this LD had this spam firing mechanic... why? Either way, exploring was kinda fun and the game looked great. It would have been nice to move a little faster in my opinion.
Really well made game. Super fun to play and really fit the theme. I agree though, getting caught on corners causes a lot of demise. However, just a little bit of work would make this amazing.
Phew! That's one tough game (Or maybe I just suck, idk). Also, gotta love that Finale music ammarite? (I use Finale Printmusic for music). Anyhoo, great game. Visuals were nice and there were really nice effects that made the game feel more professional. I just wish I could move back and forth rather than just up and down. I realize that's what the phase mechanic is for, but it was really unpredictable and got me into more trouble most of the time. Great submission though, it'll be cool to see in the future.
Looks pretty cool, and the music was good for the first 30 seconds. Some nice details. I personally thought it was super boring but it was super cool how it was procedurally generated though.
I like the theme, and was entertained by the dialog of our boss dude. The premise was unique, though like a few others I found navigation and whatnot pretty difficult. With some tweaking this will be great!
Graphics where pretty cool. It's a good idea, just needs more fleshing out. There were a lot of imbalanced game mechanics. I stopped playing because I got bored and didn't really get close to dying though.
Was super confused at first. Didn't realize you needed more people at first. After some weird connection issues we got it to work. Game looks great, but honestly wasn't that fun to play. Very cool concept though, and way cool that you incorporated multiplayer with this.
True, and the ships called “Saviors” can repair ships. Gas requirements can get extreme if you don’t manage it well. Part of the game to overcome. Also, I can fix those errors pretty easily. I’ve been hitting some in my own playing. Does somebody more experienced know if I can edit the game post to link to a version that doesn’t crash? No big deal if not, it’d jusr be more enjoyable to play. Anyhoo, thanks for your feedback though!
@drkr Thanks! I would also like to fix as many bugs as I can in the "Bug Fixed" version so that at least the game won't crash. What happened when this bug happened? I've never gotten one like it (However, being such a long game to play, I couldn't play test it much during the Jam to make sure it was bug free. Not only that, but for some reason I decided to make an RTS, one of the most complicated kinds of games to make. Oh well...). Selling buildings was something that was always intended, just never got around to it before the Jam ended.
Phew, what a tough game. A very unique and awesome concept. I personally really liked the added touch of graphics pulsing with the beat of the music. Very well made game, congrats!
Pretty great game. The music was quite exquisite. It looks great and has a good idea. The controls and camera were not ideal. Aiming guns was a bit of a mess, but otherwise I liked it. Keep up the good work and this will be really cool.
