Fun mechanic, and had some good puzzles. Wish I could have disconnected a wire once I started, and I also ended up stuck to a third wire (wire up both bots, then start a 3rd from an empty port on the right).
That was enjoyable. I liked the puzzle aspect of the narrative, and choosing what was worth spending a power pellet on. Just short enough to fail and retry a couple times to solve it.
Great concept! I loved how their faces changed based on how much power they had. Lots of fun, though felt like I bought all the upgrades too quick and didn't get powerful enough to make it all the way to the end. Great use of the theme though!
Fun game! Really enjoyed the mechanic. Wish there were more/different enemies and I was able to buy upgrades for my generator, lasers, and walls.
Thanks for the reviews everyone! Couldn't agree more @agecaf and @mariandev96, wish I would have made the lasers more visible, as well as fixing the "shooting offscreen" bug @pio. Was my first Ludum Dare, so just glad I got anything out.
Decent little game. Would have liked a better way to tell the difference between the accumulater, solar, and wind after I built them, as well as de-construction and replacing them. Was a little easy once I got the hang of it, especially with the research bonuses, but could see this mechanic being a lot of fun as the cities demands become more complex.
Fun little game. I liked having to manage my rapidly deteriorating defenses. Never figured out what the satellites or rockets did.
I really liked it! It was fun to venture further out to get crystals, knowing you still had to protect your fire. Went from exploration to chaotic adventure. Aiming the fire was a little tricky and I didn't fully understand the mechanic of which one I'd throw and how to make the tree-towers near the end.
That was a fun game. I liked how the mechanics combined, and how strategies of where to dig and where to plant emerged. Took me a while to figure out how to keep the most tiles from drying out and beat level 1, but it was smooth sailing for the other two. Finally beat your score :smile:
Would have been nice to have an indicator of which tile was being dug, as I clicked the wrong tile a couple times.
I agree with kjscott, that there's 3 frantic bursts of spending money as quick as possible (start, rain 1, rain2) so that what you plant has the most time to grow; and then nothing to do in between.
I'd love to see a version of this on a longer timer, and managing a larger geographic area. Maybe with rain in random locations, so you have to adapt your strategy, and you're constantly making decisions.
I really liked the background music as well, very relaxing. Wish it didn't get so quiet when starting a game.
Looking forward to the post mortem video
Thanks @thedashdude, I agree. Wish I had budgeted a bit more time to UI and level design, since it was so close.
Was fun. Controls are pretty tight, and it'd be nice if the alien ate faster, so I didn't have to wait (or if it got hungry slower). On 2nd play though no items spawn and he doesn't wanna eat anything.
Had fun playing it! Was really fun to spawn a bunch of enemies on the other side, then knock their health down with a well aimed spike.
Interesting concept. I liked how the ice cream would melt as you tried to get to the customers. It was kinda clunky to get through the crowds, not sure if this was because they're different sizes than the player.
Beautiful artwork and sound design! Felt lost and wasn't sure what to do though.
