I really like the graphics, they’re pretty original for a jam game.
My main feedback is that the game needs more balancing, I found it way too hard and very RNG (I could get annihilated by an asteroid at the very start).
The ship is a bit hard to control (but that could be by choice).
Btw I played your game on stream but I think the fullscreen mode bugged my capture so it stayed on main screen :/ My bad I wasn’t paying attention. ( https://www.twitch.tv/videos/878547511 ) If you participate to next GWJ I can play your next game on stream too!
Thank you, I appreciate that :D I had no time for balancing, unfortunately.... The controls are like that on purpose, (not balanced too) but it was my intention to make them challenging ;)
The UI looks so cool! The controls suited the gameplay as it added difficulty to the game.
I had no idea what to do other than destroy things and not use too much fuel.
Overall, I enjoyed the game.
Cool game! I found the controls a bit difficult to master and overall it was a bit hard to get startet in the game. Maybe the controls could be a bit simplified and a short tutorial would help. And of course audio feedback would be nice.
Cool concept. Took me quite a while to figure out that you needed the asteroids behind you in order to mine. I was also confused how to pickup the minerals after destroying an asteroid with your laser, as I had assumed it would be the same button as mining (E), rather than a number. I've tried quite a few runs and have yet to successfully sent any rare minerals to collect money.
It seemed like might have been a couple of bugs. At one point, I had around 22t of putonium but no fuel in my boosters. I'm not sure if there was another step I needed to take to convert that into fuel.
Overall, great idea, and really liked the art as well.
Thanks for the feedback :) It’s a known bug that once the fuel tank is completely empty, it does not start refilling again... (I already fixed it but not for the game jam version)
Cool game ! If I had some troubles understanding the gameplay at first (that the back of the ship was the collisionShape to use for mining), It was pretty fun after i got it :)
Did I miss some tutorial or something ?
I love the aesthetic, especially the UI and the controls. With more time, some sound effects would be super nice !
Great job !
Love the visuals! It seemed a little easy to get stuck - when running out of fuel, but otherwise quite polished -would be even more so with some sound effects and music :)
Very fun game! The art style is very colourful and blocky which is nice. The controls feel like a challenge to manage but also very simple which makes it fun to play. The oxygen bar is slightly confusing as it is blue like the cobolt, maybe it should be white? Sometimes no asteroids of the colour you need pass you and fuel runs out very fast so you just have to wait for asteroids (maybe have more asteroids or decrease fuel consumption) The highscore feature is cool and it is fun trying to beat old highscores. When you run out of fuel you are stuck floating in space, maybe you could leave your ship to mine green asteroids but have extremly low health. Sorry for overloading with ideas, I am excited to see future developments! Good Luck!
Thank you very much :) No problem, I take all the feedback I can get :D And I will change the oxygen bar color to white 👍
I am going to rate your game as well ;)
Awesome :) hope you enjoy it!
Rated :)
Forgot to say but great pun well done!
