good job, please can you rate my game?
I drove into the desert for 10 minutes 10/10
Great Game!
That was cool, liked the Star Wars theme and the pipe dream mechanic, loved that game as a kid. I got caught out twice by selecting the quit option by mistake, the menu controls were quite fiddly, mouse selection would have been better there I think. I also didn't realise you could only buy repair kits at home at first, maybe grey out the options that are unavailable or something?
Really liked the pipe fixing minigame, really well done and very satisfyin!. Felt a bit hard to understand what I had to do at the beginning, but I understood pretty quickly. Had fun playing it nevertheless ! Congratulations !
Nice movement, the minigame is super fun :)
Nice Star Wars Vibes.
I like the variety between speeding over the landscape and the minigames. It could be a little bit faster at the beginning, cause I don't want to play the manual well, as much as it needs to get progress. Mini-games always reach a peak where they are fun, after which there should be a way to automate them and new mini-games or variations should emerge.
If you bring even more variety to the mini-games, fill the environment with more content, and avoid Disney lawyers :-) , this could become a really nice and relaxing game.
I find that this ends up being a lengthier game than average for this jam, but also, I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but..... after you make your rounds, it feels like you just sleep for a week to save money? and just make more pumps? I like it, it's got something cool about it, I'm just, my brain is wanting there to be more
i wanted to add more but we ran out of time, we had to rush some of the final touches kinda thing, we wanted to add more adventruing and more story but we didnt have time
I know what that's like!
A complete and fun experience for the time constraints, I think with a little more polish it could have been more fun, as the UI could be clearer (menu, objectives, etc), and maybe I'm too dumb (most likely the case), but I spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to fix the pipes. but with those out of the way a very enjoyable game overall!
I'm really confused on what to do, except fixing pipes which was great... But the music is GOD level]
wellyou fix pipes to fix the extractors and then you make money from the extractors, you can buy more repair kits at home, you can buy more water extractors at home and you can buy droids, droids can do the puzzles automatically but sometimes break and requirea puzzle to fix the driods and you have an infinite world to expand your water farm
i like the soothing soundtrack
I thought I was supposed to get the blue rocks, but I can't collect them, they are floating above me
I feel like travelling through tatooine in star wars, it seems to have day and night cycle or was it my impression?
or it is really tatooine, I had not read the description
wellthe intro says its star waters (Star wars with an extra two letters) and you on the planet tatooed knee, the "blue rocks" are puddles where you can place more water extractors sorry if any of that was unclear
