This is a very spooky and atmospheric game, with a cool concept: you're stuck on a ship and have to lay traps for your predators. I'd love to see this expanded with more enemies and more ways of using the tesla coils (maybe being able to throw them, or activate them separately to placing them?). Good job!
Pretty solid 3D experience for a 2 day jam game. Thanks for sharing!
Played it here:
It was scary at the start then it kinda fell stale due to repetition. It's not a bad concept but I do feel like there could be more done with it. How about an upgrade shop for the tesla coils where you can spend points to upgrade your devices? Then mix up the enemies so that the crab people are not the only scary thing on this ship. I would also fix a few of those dead ends, even if they might be there for the enemy spawning (in fact you can make these doorways you can enter to get to other levels of the ship). I would say though, you are on the right track!!
Hey mate. Some feedback:
- Adding music would be great.
- Please don't add dead ends that are just black walls, as it seems like I just could not see the rest of the path. If you want to add dead ends, fine, but at least make them normal walls.
- The tesla coil feels rather useless, as a lot of enemies spawn so I can't really kill them all.
- Make killing enemies give more points.
- The UI should be disabled after less time than what it takes right now.
- Add high scores.
I could not take a picture of my score, so please let me decide when I want to go to the main menu.
I get motion sick with this game very fast :/
Is there a reason you got motion sick? Low frame-rates or something?
That is just me. I have this with playing and watching 3D games a lot. A field of view slider that i can set really high helps, but i wouldn't focus on that in a jam ;)
Obviously I can't fix it for the jam. 🙃
But I am interested in what caused the problem so I can avoid it in the future. Though, a field of view slider doesn't sound like something we'd be likely to have time for in a future jam either. 😔
Oh my god that is amazingly horrifying
...
I tried just running forward and got startled when the enemies caught me. XD
The game has a nice atmospheric feel.
fun game with a cool concept! presentation could have been improved, like with better UI or indicators for taking damage / whether or not you're close enough to place your nodes on the wall. the aliens made me jump at one point lol, well done
Fun game! A bit hard to move around the enemies sometimes since it feels like they can come from the other side and block you real quick while running away
Beautiful aesthetics and a fun innovation though!
I like the simplified graphics, would have loved a reason to move my character from the corner :D
It will eventually kill you in a corner (we've tested this on nearly all corners of the map), but it takes a while some times. It's not a good scoring strategy, and none of the high scores we achieved were from this method, but it does keep you alive a long time if you do it right (and block off an exit nearby)
I'll play it again then tomorrow , thanks for the reply :)
Cool Game Idea, crab people
Taste like crab but look like people
