An interesting concept, it feels like it may need some iteration though, maybe some of the plants evolve the others when they die or something? Great work on the framing and characters, dialogue was witty and the sarcastic dispassionate approval by the subordinate is on point.
Possible Bug: The final stage required me to fill in the board, but I could have easily filled more spaces before it ended.
Great use of the theme, I love bullet hell. The lava ring definitely made this even harder. I would play this.
An interesting iteration on Snake, it was a little unclear what would happen when something hits your tail. Bullet Hell meets Snake?
Graphic direction is amazing <3
Great concept, I would love to see a more polished game developed from the concept here.
I never figured out how to make a raft. I really wish my character was in the mouth of the shark attack. The health bar concept in the event of a shark attack felt a bit too gamified. Theme not clearly implemented?
I have a background in Supply Chain, Warehousing & Logistics... the anxiety in this game is antithesis to the job! I absolutely see the theme and mechanics here though!
Feedback: Mechanics - a lot like Tetris, but mouse grab/drag accuracy significantly hurt me. Audio - feels retro to match the art, pleasant Fun - if you like Tetris, this game might be fun. Unfortunately I never cared for Tetris (anxiety)
Camera was extremely disorienting, give control to the mouse - this resembles Super Mario World. Spatial perspective when jumping onto dodo's was deceptive - especially when they begin moving towards you AFTER you start the jump, but if you jump early to counter that you will land before they get to you. I love the rising water concept, though it didn't have that much of an impact for spatial confinement (limited space theme).
Big points for the Doc/Rick character, humor, and custom voicings!
Maybe this was just more than I was willing to invest in figuring out the rules, game seems very complex.
I wasn't sure how I was being scored, and the instructions page was daunting at first glance.
I love the art here, and after several play-throughs I enjoyed the building level systems. Unfortunately I could never figure out how to convert a dog tile, or fight back. The catnip farm option never became available, and I'm not sure the strategy here?
Even at level 4 the buildings were taken by the dog wave.
Overall great concept and it's on theme - all I can assume is a broken mechanic or something. Keep going, this is a good concept!
This is an interesting game, without knowing where the Load/Unload buttons were - or that they were changing colors I was terminated on my 5th ship :grimace:
On the second run it was much better, but ultimately I think I'll seek a career with a longer life expectancy... like a dropship pilot in the space marines.
This reminds me of the stick-figure fighting with math in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRj3X7IFCjY
If I had any ideas for improvement, it would be to improve the aim during movement - hitting an enemy was pretty challenging.
The screen panning around the screen was great, I love the Gauntlet-esque end of level as well.
Well done!
I'm a big fan of TD, and this is a cool implementation! I'm not sure it fits the theme very well but I had a good time!
The control mapping images appear to be swapped? Perhaps I misunderstood - I just left clicked on everything.
If anyone else can get the errors show by FullSaphir Iād like to confirm the error - I suspect itās a driver issue.
We will definitely be adding more images and description to the pages!
I really needed some sleep, but the plan for tomorrow is an optimization pass - removing anything we can, as well as optimizing the art. 72 hours just wasnāt enough to squeeze in optimization š
Iām not sure if itās a good thing or a bad thing that nearly every piece of feedback involves the player feeling crowded by the enemy spawn rate when the jam theme like āLimited Spaceāā¦ š
But I feel like it lands right either way!
The feedback so far has been amazing everyone, we've been adding features and knocking down bugs - as soon as the rankings are over we will push the new build <3
@wheelsx
Weāve been continuing to iterate and balance, we discovered the pause menu issue about 15 minutes after last submissions were due so there wasnāt much we could do.
We plan to release version 1.0 after the ranking is concluded, using all of the feedback received here!
Thank you so much for checking it out! ā¤ļø
Thanks @dan-str!
Weāve fixed all the bugs mentioned above and as soon as rankings are complete weāll upload the newest build š
Actually, Iām not even sure thatās a requirement - maybe we can upload it as a āpost-jamā update that isnāt ranked?
Installed Roblox specifically to play as I've never used the platform before. Is this supposed to be a VR game? Interface and game aren't playable from VR as your camera is centered in the Sun.
My Quest2 and Oculus software were plugged in, so the game assumed I was playing from VR. It should probably check if the headset is being worn.
@rusya-ink for sure! I did exactly that and was able to play several runs. The only feedback I have is perhaps intentional? Perhaps a units/second UI element? It was hard to guess at what relative rate the elements were generating. When I tested to see if the elemental balance actually had consequences, I didn't see any difference - but I only went to around 24k/8k
