This was pretty cool! I really enjoyed the audio and visuals. Took a while to get how things were working but I think that was due to two key reasons. 1) My inclination was send the attack bugs to separate planets which I think slowed me down to the point that I couldn’t really make any progress, and 2) there wasn’t really any feedback on the attack mode, so it wasn’t clear that it was working, although I think it did help, especially at the beginning. Making the initial phase a bit more forgiving could have been good too. The video and other information you put on the page was definitely helpful though, so thanks for that.
But yeah, there was a lot here that did work once I understood what I needed to do, so nice job!
sorry its not too clear how to play, details in the game's page. Here is a short demo how to start off
Argh, this game has got so much going for it, lovely graphics! Great sound! A cool concept! I just couldn't get going in the actual gameplay!
I feel I'm also slightly overlooked in the controls on a laptop with a trackpad.
Hey, first GWJ entry tho, that's an achievement!
thank you so much for the feedback! I agree it is hard to get going at first, I added a video to help get an idea. Trackpad wasn't something I considered before but I will definitely add improved controls/timestamps for speed runs after the jam
Definitely an original take on the theme and I like the artwork. Gave me a big zerg vibe from Starcraft. I definitely struggled with figuring out what to do, some explanation on the game page would go a long way to helping guide people into the game. It also seemed pretty difficult with how long it would take to destroy a planet compared to how little time there was before a game over. But that said, still pretty fun and I think the idea is great!
Thank you for the feedback! I am glad you caught on the zerg reference! I agree its hard to get going without a tutorial or more intuitive UI, I added a video to hopefully help get going
