I love the idea here, really amusing. This is not a job for me though. My satellite was spinning wildly out of control most the time. 3D rotation is really unintuitive on a good day, so I'm not sure it has much staying power as a core gameplay mechanic.
Incredible work. Very hard, though.
I love the idea, but I was overwhelmed when I learnt there are four satellites. It seems to be near impossible to get them all in sync at the same time.
This is a neat idea but I found it difficult to manage. If you switch to a satellite and it's off alignment, it's difficult to know how to put it back in place. I think if you had a little UI element showing the four satellites along with their color or something, it might make it easier to know when you need to switch. And maybe if they could respond more quickly to inputs so you know how you're affecting them.
Also, I gotta say I disagree with JacquesJ. You have a combine, the view is a combination of views and you're combining the 4 satellites to control the combine. Fits the theme pretty well for me 👍
cool idea, I had fun with it!
How hard can it be? …ok, pretty hard :D
I won't be hired by the satellite company!
I love the concept and seeing how you're affecting the harvester as you keep the satellite stable. The different perspectives seem like a good idea, but I only found the one facing earth to be helpful to gameplay. The others were just kinda cool to look at. I like being able to rotate and see the Earth. The game got very hard, though and it's easy to get into a death spin you can't recover from without restarting. Good game but I don't think you fit the theme.
Hi there. First of all thanks for the feedback. The different perspectives you mentioned are actually 4 different satellites, all of which you need to keep track of. Unlike the description states, you can rotate the camera using right click (only in the web build), not left click, even though it’s annoying in the browser as it opens the context menu. While rotating the camera of different satellites, you can see the Earth from different perspectives. As for the theme, the game has a combine harvester and you need to combine the 4 satellites to keep the combine harvester on track.
The two perspectives is a fantastic idea. I like having "the man on the ground" while also being "Overatch" calling all the shots. Very unique interpretation!
