Love turn based! Would have prefered a more catered expereience
Hey, I'm glad that you liked it! When you say "catered experience" do you mean a tutorial explaining each feature in the game?
Hm... Yes? Tooltips would be an example, but would be more along hand-holding for introductions. I loved it; it was very refreshing. Creativity was astounding, and visual feedback from systems currently in use was well done (grid highlights, damage numbers). Keep up the good work :D
Thank you so much for the feedback! I like your specific suggestions, and I’m so glad you enjoyed! We’re continuing to work on the game now that the jam is over, so stay tuned :D
I'm a big fan of monster themes and turn-based strategy, so your game's concept was right up my alley. I'm also impressed that you managed to integrate cinematic elements to some of the attacks. Nice work on integrating that feature! ^^
Hooray! Thanks for your feedback, Ennrael - all kudos to @Azuaq and @Jaypad07 for the animations :) I believe they are working on some of the other units’ animations moving forward.
Thanks for commenting, I’m happy we liked the monster themes in each other’s games!
I think for such a short time frame this was put together well! A few tweaks - the menu buttons don't seem to work except for restart and there's no exit game button. It also seems pretty difficult and there might be too many humans, but I could have just not been playing strategically enough.
Thanks for the comment Nivarian, we worked hard on this game and we're glad you enjoyed it! We were trying to balance difficulty literally up to the last minute, we definitely will add a diff slider and some tips to make it more manageable.
Hope you keep following our progress and let us know what you think. ;)
Thank you! I am kicking myself for not being able to get that working menu button into the final build. I was so close to finishing the menu button, but we were seconds away from the submissions ending that I couldn't get it into the build that went live. It is fixed in the new build along with some new story elements. The exit button is on the main menu, which was broken. Sorry about that! As for the difficulty, we'll tone it down in the next version. The current version is too hard but it is doable, if you're curious, you can finish it with all 4 aliens alive, although it will take some great tactics.
I loved what you did in such a short amount of time! And totally understand those time constraint problems lol.
Thank you so much for commenting and catching those bugs, Nivarian! We’re continuing to work on game balance (hoping to add different difficulties, as Magno said), and in the next build, the menu buttons should work xD I hope you’ll play the next version(s) of Nova Terra and let us know what you think then as well :)
Hey I think you forgot add the download file or browser play button. Images look great tho!
Thanks for the message! The "Hide for download" box was clicked but it's fixed now. Let me know if you can play now.
No problem my friend
