This fun little game gave me a feeling of the ol' Atari system with its graphics. I would have liked it more if the sprites were more consistently ratioed since it seemed at odds for certain objects to have high quality (like craft benches) and others with lower quality (enemies and player). The color palette could have been a little more flavorful, instead of everything only blue except enemies. But I did like running around collecting resources to craft the strongest weapon. I just wished there was some ui element that could tell me what resources I had since when I started out all the crafting items had all their craft buttons active. Still a nice game that I enjoyed a play of even with the odd controls (but perhaps the controls were reflective of the "old/expired" game?). Great job on this!
Really nice game! Would love to see how many batteries and metal I have in some kind of ui and possibly some more content. Amazing job!
Thank you!
I like the 2 bit graphics! This game needs a little more polishing, but that's ok, since it's jam game. Keep it up ;)
Thank you! I agree on the polish I was really on a time crunch and I just had enough time to cobble it all together before the deadline.
This game definitely deserves more attention that it's getting. I very much enjoyed the low-fidelity aesthetic, and the game play itself was quite fun once I got the hang of things.
I was not a huge fan of the controls, or the fact that the game requires installation, as it could have very easily been made into a single executable, or even a zip file if completely necessary.
I got all 5 batteries and beat the game, and overall it was a fun little game. The artwork, despite the (3-bit?) design was very well crafted, and I could easily recognize everything the artist was trying to portray, despite the lack of colors and pixels.
Wow thank you! how would you feel about an updated game in the future fixing the controls and making it an standalone file? As well as some other editions?
Absolutely! Please give me a reply if / when that happens :) I really enjoyed this.
