i think could stare at the run and idle animations for days. beautiful stuff!
Love the art and the sound effects. The game loop seems like it would work really well after a little bit of tweaking. Currently it was hard to see how much fuel the generator/canister etc had. I was also not feeling super invested as I could not tell quickly whether killing any of the enemies were actually increasing the fuel level. Maybe if the game loop and what's happening was communicated a little better this could be a really awesome game.
Thank you very much for the feedback!
The elements show how much input and output they have (each container has a little ‘window’ where you can see the liquid level), but I understand that it is very subtle. I will add a popup with this and more informationwhen hovering (or clicking) over the element.
Regarding the enemies/fuel issue, it is briefly explained in the tutorial. I'll explain this in a more visual way, at a tutorial level, where you can see the mechanics clearly.
Fun game, looks and feels really nice, good use of sound effects and great music! I may have encountered a bug or unfinished feature, where my energy went to 0 on day 2, but nothing happened. So I played without refueling until night 7. There I wanted to see what happens if I stand at the edge and let the corpses take over.
I enjoyed the game, and I'm definitely playing more, even if you don't expand it because it's kinda cosy! Like Doom in kindergarten!
I love the artwork and the story! It would be awesome if you expanded on this!
