I love your graphical style. The soft shading and palette choice, and laser beam vfx and boxy aesthetic, they all come together just right. You're a pro in this department.

I think your tutorial / the player's first 60 seconds is the weakest element here. I tried to read your tutorial a couple times but I have to admit my eyes kinda glazed over. Miles better would be a short, structured scene that introduces players to each core element of the game one by one before turfing them to the main scene. I would also start the player with the double jump or like, a little hover backpack for this guy would be cute, right? It would make the platforming way more forgiving and encourage freer exploration.

All in all, very well done! A fantastic entry and big undertaking for 1 man in ten days and certainly one of the most impressive projects I've seen in the jam so far. 👏

This game is great, it looks nice and runs so smoothly. I know most people have already said it but I really like the beam. I feel like I could just fire that aimlessly and have fun. Good job on doing so much in such little time! 

I'm amazed how much you made in a ten day period!

It took a while for me to really catch on to the mechanics, even though I read the instructions (a few times.) And it also took me a while to actually become efficient in collecting resources, once I really understood what I was doing.

I wish that I had more time to invest in the game, I didn't get very far at all in the grand scheme of things, or so it feels. I was only managing about 150 resources at my peak, and that wasn't nearly enough to make progress in defending the Time Portal.

I can't nitpick anything, I know this must have taken a monumental effort to put together in such a short time frame. Except! I wish that they upgrades weren't randomized, I wanted to take double jump the first time I saw it, but couldn't afford it. Then it didn't appear when I could, then it did appear but I didn't see it before choosing another upgrade because it was in a different position in the upgrade grid. (I did get it eventually!)

Aside from that, I think the music could be more prominent. But that's really all I can say. I'd love to see what comes of this, if you decide to develop it further!

So far in this jam this game has the best visuals I've seen. I love the beam cutter thing, very satisfying. One thing I noticed is i could only hear the sfx of it when the camera was close to the player controller, so I'd either change the beam to a non-3D emitter sound or switch the listener to the player controller so you can hear it more consistently. I like that it was essentially two games in one, also! great work

At lot of effort to build it. Scope creep is everyone nightmare in a gamejam ;-). Good model usage and nice visuals.

I missed the memo that you need energy for building towers ;-). I stopped at 20 as that was mentioned in the HUD. Some more information would help enjoying the game from the start. 

Very good submission.

I can tell that you put a lot of effort into this one! There is so many gameplay features packed and details. Good job on the submission!

I could tell right away from the screenshots I was gonna love this one. You came up with a lot of gameplay features for a game jam, and the game feels really nice to play! I particularly love the platforming and how good the movement feels. I would love to see this project further fleshed out with sound design, particle effects, and more! I could definitely see myself getting super into this game and playing this as my comfort or relaxing game. Great job!

Amazing visuals. I love the blur effect. The mining is really fun.

Loved the visuals and level design! The game was smooth and appealing

Awesome work. I liked the level design and the atmosphere of environment very much. smooth controls and easy to adapt to the game. However, some work can be done to tell the player what to do in the game. 

This is a really cool game! I think there's so much you could do to expand on this too. The gameloop was very addicting. I think it was pretty difficult right at the start, but with some level scaling and what not it'd be smooth sailing! Awesome work!

The graphics remind me of Astrobot. I had a hard time in the bug wave, but the environment was really nice

The game visually looks really impressive, but there needs to be more instructions. I was able to figure out how to fill up my container to 20, but after being teleported it is back down to 0? So I can’t build? Also, the cost is $20, but I am unsure if ores are the currency since I can’t build anything anyway.

Wow, that's really cool! I really liked the game design, it was very pleasant. The gameplay itself is also good. Honestly, at first I thought that the game was clearly developed by more than one person. I am glad that there are such games. Good luck! :)

Very cool game! I was pleased to see you have infinite lives because I jumped off the map a lot :D

Damn, this game is good! If someone told me this was a finished release that took a year or more to develop, I would’ve believed them. Handling of a character is parfect.

Amazing all the stuff you put in there in 10 days!

I want to see you work one year on that: we'll have a really nice game.

Also love the mix of gathering resources / building defenses!
Really nice one!!

Wow this looks absolutely incredible! Can't believe how much you got done in 10 days, the level of graphical polish is insane. Took me a while to figure out how everything worked but I got there in the end. I think the platforming is maybe a little too hard, especially when the character doesn't have legs to gauge the jumps! Just exploring for resources was fun enough without the extra difficulty, but honestly I'm just nitpicking, I really can't complain about anything else.

Really impressive stuff!

the art style, the animations and particle effects are on point, relay loved it, great job.

I just had a small issue where my camera was drifting to the right.

Very cool, I really like the resource gathering part. And the art style is awesome, great job!
