Nice entry! Here are my complete feedback:

* Positive points

- The graphic art direction is really good and coherent

- It reminds a lot of "Into the Breach", in terms of sound design & grid placement/movement, which is a good thing

----

* Negative points

- Missing some animations feedback when beating an enemy

- I would love a bit more strategy

=> Overall nice job!

This was really good! I loved the graphics and sound effects and the idea of protecting a save file. It was an interesting mechanic with the binary but it was a little hard to understand what direction it was reading. It was also weird that the 0's had attack but could not attack. I think you should have indicated/highlighted better how the binary powerup worked maybe outlining all the numbers in a matching row. You could also try to add pre movement visuals that show you if you will powerup anything after moving. Also, check out the little strategy game I submitted :)

I like this game. Really, cool! Maybe it worths to develop it further!

Very aesthetic. The graphics along with the sound effects create an excellent atmosphere. Excellent use of post processing, and even better job of not overdoing it. Since there was no formal tutorial, the game starts out by throwing the player into the deep end, which is one of my only criticisms.

Nice game.  I liked the art style (it brought back fond memories of Knightlore).  The music and sound effects were good too.  Great work for the week.

i really enjoyed this game at fist  you can just attack the enemys without any combination but in the later levels you have to pull out some strats and then also the fact that you shouldent do over damage makes it a bit more interesting

takes a bit to get into but its worth it ( i spent a little too  much time into this game than i'd like to admit)


oh and check out my game if you want https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/926678

I tried very hard knowing what was happening but I didn't understand how number conbinations worked. It seems that is a very well planned game, is original, solid and pollished and fits the theme perfectly, but I need some kind of explanation to keep playing it. Anyway, it is very good job.

Hi, thanks for playing the game. I posted an explanation down below in the comments if you want to give it another try. Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Ooooh, ok I did't see that, I will give it another try tho. I recommend you to add that explanation in the game page, bellow the game.

Developer

Thanks for the suggestion. I now have a guidance section in the description.

Ok, now I know to play and avanced a lot, but definetely I am too stupid to complete the game hahahaha. Definitely ones and zeros make a complex but useful and complete mechanic, so greetings :)

Loved the game, cool art and nice overall look of the game.

Here's a few recommendations:

A tutorial would be helpful, for those who don't understand it easily

Oh and maybe allow the player to set what type of difficulty mode they wanna play at.

other than this? Loved the game :D

It can be a great time waster(in a good sense) with a bit more polishing.

Submitted(+2)

Really innovative and fun game. It reminds me a lot of chess. Could have a main menu and a tutorial. If you are planning on updating the game later after the jam, offering the players difficulty options would also be really nice. Great job!

I love this game and its innovative concept, it has a really nice design and the chosen music track matches quite well with the atmosphere. my favourite part about it is how only a smart guy can pass it 🤓 p.s.: I'm trying... ; - ;

Submitted(+2)

The game has a lot of potential, but with this great gameplay, the game doesn't have a menu(it's really lacking).If you want, please rate my game.

This is a cool game, could have used a tutorial as it took me a while to figure out the specifics. Loved the visuals and SFX.

Submitted(+2)

This is an awesome concept and I’d like to see this improved and polished out even more for a potential commercial game. I didn’t read the tutorial before actually playing the game hoping to see one, but I managed to get the hang of it while playing it. I love that the simple but cool enemy designs, like the horse, which is a homage to the Trojan virus! Great job!

Thanks for the extra effort of playing it even without a tutorial

Submitted(+2)

Really nice look, but there isn't any explanation.

Submitted (1 edit) (+2)

You have a very cool game! The graphics are stunning but there is no explanation, no tutorial and no menu so i was a little lost

Also, don't forget to play and rate my game!

Submitted(+2)

love it! really nice look-and-feel, fun to play!

Submitted(+2)

Interesting concept but can be really confusing on the mechanics. Some kind of "how to play" would make it lot easier to get your bearings.

Dang. It's not loading for me. I think this site is overloaded currently, with everyone submitting all at once.
