A really original game ! The use of physics is really well implmented, great job !
I need this OST!, was hard to get the controls.
Controls were hard for me but I love the vibe of the game. The use of physics is very cool, and I liked the music :D
Atmospheric music in the game. Graphics are simple, controls are a little tricky
Really like the concept, it's not often you see physics based games in a jam.
Very nice game, judging from the amount of data and formulas you must've had a lot of fun making it :) I like the concept of having a number-based game. And the multiple soundtracks! The best part!
Thanks for rating our game EUR01 ;). Indead what a similarity in the approach to upgrading! I really find it addicting to upgrade more and more in your game. Can't stop :). The waiting is however not so fun. Good that you have a speed button. Maybe it would be fun to add simple left/right movement to dodge certain weather effects? That could add so much. But then again, maybe it's not what you're going for. Nice entry! Congrats.
Interesting game, I liked the story bits interspersed with progression. I did have a few issues though. One of which was that for some reason the speed of the game seemed to impact my pressure shield, so at x1 speed it would give me very little, but at x100 game speed it gave me way more. This became an issue when I had to go super deep and needed to get the x100 speed levels of protection, but without the shield I would blow up in one second, giving me almost no time to turn it on. The other issue was just how long the decent takes at the endgame. For the final run it literally took multiple minutes of just waiting to get there, which was rather tedious. I appreciate the game overall, I just think the rocket should propel you faster, if that and the game speed bug were fixed, this would be a really good experience.
I see the similarity’s you mentioned. Love a lot of stats you surpassed us in that ! Job well done 👍.
This was a fun game, unique mechanics and surprisingly funny story!
I did find it quite grindy, I actually sunk quite a bit of time in it and only ended up getting to 5000km. At that point the upgrades just seemed too expensive and it was taking too long to build up the cash to get them.
There were also a few bugs/UX issues. The pressure shield factor would sometimes stack for each run, making the game super easy. And you'd sometimes get caught in a loop where time warp is at 100x and you don't have enough time to change it back before exploding.
But overall, an enjoyable and very creative entry :)
This is amazing. The story kept me invested all the way to the end. Bravo, 10/10.
