Really original idea and well done! Fun to play
Thanks!
Hey, i watched it on the stream and rated through that :)
Hi, thanks! Was cool seeing yours as well, I'll go and give it a rating now :)
Really cool game, it's like a strategy game, but you have to strategically kill your units to stop the spread. I really liked it, but I wish there were some sounds and music. And I love Sebastian Lague too, his coding adventure series is really interesting.
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah exactly :D I'll have a go at making some music for it after the jam ends hopefully. Yeah that's great as well, really clever work!
I will check your game out and leave some feedback too.
Cheers!
The modeling is really cool! :D
Thanks!
nice game overall and good project. try mine and rate it Rate cubic sword game by EM for Blackthornprod GAME JAM #3 - itch.io
Thanks for the feedback, I'll give your game a go now!
I like the mechanics of the game and the points, could use some sfx/music
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I'll have to get some music and sound effects added in after the jam has finished :D
I really like the visuals and the planet! What did you use to make it if you don't mind me asking? I also enjoyed the simplicity of it and how it can quickly get chaotic!
The main area you could improve on is by adding sounds and music as that would liven it up a lot but I do understand that you may have not had enough time to add it in.
Thanks for the feedback!
The planet was built procedurally in Unity, with superimposed layers of noise used to offset a spherical mesh. The basis of the editor for it is from Sebastian Lague's tutorials on YouTube on procedural planet generation. All of his stuff is amazing, you should check it out :) https://www.youtube.com/user/Cercopithecan I did try to give him credit in my game page but unfortunately that description doesn't seem to carry over to this page! :/
Yeah it can certainly get out of hand quite quickly :) I'll have a look at how to make music for the next one or maybe add it to this one after the jam.
Cheers
I thought I was supposed to run from the night but turns out that didn't matter! Desperately needed sfx and music.
Haha no, that would certainly add an extra layer of difficulty though! Thanks for the feedback :)
Your game was great too btw
Really cool game! I like the modeling you've done on the earth and the race to stop the spread before you cant see them when the darkness takes over.
Awesome work, feel free to check out my submission too if you have the time :)
Thanks for the feedback! I will check your game out now :)
Cheers
Good game it held my interest for good amount of time my only thing is the ai is kind of dumb like maybe the zombies run to people and people run away from zombies but the zombies are slower or something like that and the controls are not that bad but would be better if i could click and drag to rotate the planet, i also loved the day and night cycle that was a nice touch. in all fun game nicely done!
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I ran out of time to give them any really intelligence to be honest but would be interesting to see how it plays out when zombies are chasing and healthy citizens are trying to run away!
I'll have a look at your game and leave some feedback too :)
Cheers
thanks i appreciate it!
Great game! Loved the system of night and day and the fact that you had to decide which areas were more likely to kill the most zombies with the fewer citizens dead. The only thing that needs improvement is the ui
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it :) Do you think the UI just needs some polish or would you add some different stats etc?
Cheers
I really love the concept, the game look very cool with the day/night cycle and the gameplay was simple but very enjoyable. Overall very cool game! Great job!
Thanks for the feedback :) I loved your game as well!
I like the concept and the graphics, but this game is just way too easy. The day/night cycle is pretty clever though.
Thanks for the feedback! Ah ok that's interesting, did you find you could just kill all the zombies before they had really got other citizens? Maybe I need to start with a few more or make them move around a bit quicker!
This is a really nice, simple game. I like the variation of day/night and just the lighting in general. Also, you came up with a really nice way to keep the player going while keeping it simple. The gameplay is a lot of fun, which is being accentuated by the great graphics, and so is the idea. It also fits the theme really well, so those are all ups. The only problem is, that (as far as i know) there are no sounds/music, and this isn't a requirement of course, and regarding the fact it was only a week and you probably worked alone completely understandable, but of course those aspects can't be rated. But I'm sure the game will do really good in other categories. Nice work! :)
Thanks for your feedback, it's very much appreciated! Yeah I will have a look into how to make the music after the jam and completely understand that I can't be scored for those bits. I'm glad you liked it :D
Cheers
The gameplay is great, but the game could have used some audio
But still it was good
Thanks! I'll look into making some music down the line :)
Cheers
Haha, it is but I've spent a lot of time procrastinating watching tutorials on youtube! I'm really glad you liked it and thanks for your kind feedback :D I've written some comments on the page for your game as well, which is amazing btw!
Really great game! The day/night cycle is really creative, the only thing that's missing is probably music and if this gets expanded i would like to see different attacks like an attack that has cooldown but has more impact, and speaking of impact, the impact of the cannon's bullets is minimal, give some more feedback, other than that i think the design is very creative.
Hi, thank you for the feedback! Agreed, I'll work on adding some music/sound effects in after the jam. I increased the explosion just before the deadline so that's lucky as it was even harder before! But will definitely add some other weapons and a cooldown is a good idea :)
I'll take a look at your game and leave some feedback too!
Cheers
Reversed American Plauge Inc! This was a really fun game, with a lot of clever details! The gameplay is very smooth and it's never been this satisying to drop nukes! The night/day rotation is also just genius, both visually and how it made the game much more difficult but also engaging!
The thing that could have elevated this to become absolutley fantastic is of course the lack of sound, and idk maybe some lil screen shake, to make it even more satisfying.
But overall a really fun game, well done!!!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I will look into doing some music and sound effects after the jam, glad you liked it! :D
Nice Game. Love the art style and theme is relevant to current world situation :) Please check my game if you want : https://stefbart13.itch.io/electro-clash
Hi,
Thanks for the feedback! I'll check your game out too :) How did you find the difficulty? I wasn't sure if I made the citizens/zombies a bit too small..
Cheers
