Your attention to detail is very nice. Shaders, trails, particles...it's the small things that count! The difficulty curve could be tweaked and for the time you had, the graphics will do (however, I would love to see some polish). Overall I had quite a unique experience. Keep it up!
I rated this very high because well..you deserve it. This takes me back to the days of playing Hexen on my fathers computer and I have had an itch to play a game like that for a long time; unfortunately, it hasn't happened but I'm so glad I got to experience this. This game hit me in the feels so hard especially with the atmosphere. Please continue developing this. I would actually probably buy this.
I love the way you integrate the graphics and gameplay as if it were a story. It takes me back to when I was a child and played these kinds of story games on my fathers computer. It's nice to be able to take a break from shooting stuff and get to sit down and relax and play something like this. There's polishing to be done, but what you have here it's actually amazing and impressive considering the time constraints of this jam. Keep it up! If this ever released as a full game I would play!
Definitely love the concept and the animations are very nice as well. If the jumping and movement was a little more refined this would make for an awesome game. Would love to play more levels and maybe have like a puzzle aspect or something. Great entry!!!!
Simple, but fun. I enjoy the one control scheme. The detail on the asteroids when they get hit reminded me of playing classic arcade games. Music was properly executed. I don't really have any gripes about it just expand and polish the animations and UI and I could see this being a success on the right markey. You should expand on this and release a full game. What you have here would be great as a full game or a mobile game. Congrats and keep it up!
There's a certain mood going on in this game that I like. It isn't fully developed, but parts of your game continued to keep my interested. Some of the assets are very nice and I would like to see this further developed as it has the makings for what could be a great rpg-esque experience. Keep it up!
Definitely took me back to when times were simpler, and I don't mean that in a bad way. The music, the graphics, the gameplay, all finely tuned to co exist with each other. Yeah, it could be polished, but the core mechanics really took me back to early Final Fantasy, Zelda, Dragonfable, Bomber Man. Keep it up!
Just what I needed after a long day at work. For the timespan that you had to create this, I am impressed. I was already laughing within the first 10 seconds of the game. I found the controls to be more funny than troublesome- maybe because they are puppets and that's how they're supposed to move...but you made it work! Might need some small polish here and there but this would be amazing if further development went into it. Definitely one of my favorite games so far. Keep it up!
I had to borrow a PC to play this and it was very interesting. I love the strategy aspect of it! I suck but I enjoy the learning curve to it! Would love if a save state was implemented. Polish up the graphics and this could be a great game!! Congrats on the release.
Thank you for taking time to try my game. Yes, I'm aware of the - counter and the issue with a soldier not recognizing the bullets. I fixed both in another build and when I make more progress I will post it. Thank you again. Happy Jamming!
@dakikad no it's not your ubuntu it's just the build.. I have been working on this project aggressively since the jam ended and have a current build which fixes all the issues in this one. I will update the build once the jam is over. thank you for taking time to play!
@terryg thankyou! I will be updating the game soon.
here's the new updates guys! Go check it out! http://www.stencyl.com/game/play/36813
I got mauled like 50 times and shat on but I think you're on to something. Pretty much what everyone is saying could be put to good use in the game. I love the graphics but maybe adding something as small as a jump button and refining the movement a little could do wonders. Like I said, you're onto something. Would love to see this further developed! Keep it up!
A dung beetle!?!?! lmao one of the funniest games I've played yet. Reminded me of playing bugs life on my N64 but better cause...dung beetle! I've seen some cool games this time around but this actually made me laugh pretty hard. Polish it and this could be the next goat simulator. Keep it up!!!
Very interesting use of the theme! I enjoyed the way you used the graphics. I'm not gonna mention the tuning of the controls as everyone else already has but this would make for a fun little game if you further developed into it. I love the quirky dialogue as well! Keep it up!
Interesting mechanics, and even though you explained the controls, I still had difficulty reading the UI. The core of it has a neat rpg appeal and if polished I think this could turn into a nice mobile game if done right. keep it up!
I love it. Simple yet nicely executed. Has a nice retro feel to it, but also somewhat modernized with the mechanics. Would love to maybe see more levels and enemies but honestly, it was great! A co op mode would be super sweet but overall it was great! Congrats!
Very pretty game. Gave me that Trine feeling. You're definitely onto something. It's actually quite polished and if you decided to further development, this could be a great experience. I like the screen size of the game as well. My framerate felt like it was between 20-25fps but it could be my browser. Overall great game!
Had issues with some visuals showing up (I'm on a Mac and using Safari), but other than that it was pretty fun. Part of it feels a bit stiff, but the fact this is your first jam you should feel proud to have gotten something up. Keep making games!
Maybe it's my browser but I experienced a couple bugs with buying parts and stuff but for the most part it worked. I love playing these kinds of games where I can just sit back and relax and not have to worry about scores or kills or anything like that. Would love if you polished it more cause I can actually see myself playing this if it were a full game. Has that FTL feel to it (and these kind of games aren't usually my first pick either). Keep it up!
You did not just do geometry wars!? omg this is awesome. If you seriously refined the graphics and polished this up, it could really be something. I've had my share of space games but this is a great way of using the theme. great entry!
I'm not gonna critique everything that has been mentioned but this was actually an interesting and hilarious use of the theme. I'm actually intrigued to see what you do with this project should you decide to expand on it. I like how theirs a sense of uniqueness to everyones planet so definitely capitalize on that cause I haven't played a game yet that utilizes that sort of multiplayer aspect. Keep it up!
YES I WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN! I've been playing slenderman so much I thought something crazy was gonna pop in my face. This is great. Yeah the graphics need some polishing, but you're onto something here and I could see this game going a million different directions. Would love to see a polished version! Nice to be able to take a break from shooting games and play something like this. Congrats!
Definitely a learning curve to this (at least for me), but I can honestly say I lost myself a little in this game and had quite a blast. I'm fascinated with all things space so this little simulator felt right up my alley! Would not mind playing this if you furthered the development. Keep it up!!!
I suck at questionnaire games but this was actually very good. I like how there's some interaction and it's not just question after question after question. Reminds me of those cool games I'd play in computer class, but this is actually sprinkled with a little knowledge. This would actually be a great educational game if you tweaked and refined it a little bit. Congrats and keep it up!
