I think the setting of an active volcano combined with the feeling of the mechanics you have there makes for a really thrilling atmosphere. Overall, nice job on this game!

Developer

Thanks skykone! I spent a bit of time trying to get the right particle effects, camera shaking and other aspects that reinforce the atmosphere :)

This is a great submission even though it took some time to figure out :)

You submitted 2 min before the deadline, that is crazy!

Developer

Thanks for the review, abdo97z!

Yeah I cut it somewhat too short, with 2 min. 59 s. on the timer left. Good lesson for my next game submission I guess ;) Less feature creep and more time for polish (tutorials, menus, intro)

I tried my best but couldn't figure it out. All it seemed to let me do was turn the water on/off with CTRL. Maybe you can add a bit of info on how to play this game! I loved seeing the volcanos in the background.

Developer

Sorry to hear that ivanlanc, the controls for the water pipe to move, are up and down arrows.

Definitely need to add a small tutorial or a tooltip, explaining how to use the controls. Thanks for the feedback!

good concept for the game. would have loved to see more mechanics and a little bit of tutorial along with a menu. It just starts randomly. Anyways great visuals so far.

Developer

Thanks for your comment. Definitely ran out of time. Good idea for the suggested tutorial and menu - Thanks!

Developer

Added Mac build of version 1.0.1

Developer

Added 2 small fixes (left-ctrl key support and faster rotation speed) in version 1.0.1. 

No other change added, as per game jam rules.

good concept, i would love to see more mechanics, maybe a free camera and a mini tutorial. great job!

Developer

Thanks you so much ch1w1!

Those are good ideas; An intro tutorial with a small cinematic for example, followed with more & more complex puzzle/management mechanics. Food for thoughts, maybe for another game jam or a follow-up for this project \o/

Interesting concept! Would have loved to see more mechanics to manage to save the people.

Developer

Definitely! Thanks for the comment.

Initially, I wanted to have 1 type of civilians for each camera angle, in order to invent new puzzles to save them (water, air,  supplies) but I ran out of time.

TOTALLY understand that. Look forward to seeing what you do in the future
