Cool idea for a game.
Very much fits the Jam theme. Art style is quite simple, but effective, although I don't really understand what the random giant and Pickaxe were doing inside an asteroid ;)
I liked the little touches you added like making the self destruction button a mechanic for clearing obstacles and having the asteroid rotate.
For improvements, a bit of music and some sfx would go a long way to adding to the feel of the game. I'm not sure how much more you're planning on working on this game, but it would be cool if you made it so that maps were made up of multiple asteroids, would add more depth to the game and more possibilities.
Overall, submission has lots of potential and places you could take it. Well done!
Thanks for the feedback :)
The random giant was a dead miner and there were some more in the artifact room.
I wanted to do some environmental story telling and make it look as if they had killed each other over the artifact/resources. But I guess it was a little too subtle^^
Yes, I am currently working on an improved version of the game with SFX, some additional effects and more levels.
Very nice game. I like the idea of self-destruction being a gameplay mechanic.
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
Great idea and well-thought-out implementation, I really like it :)
The game looks cool :D
i tried to enter the dirt area but i couldn't, i didn't know how to dig inside, all i did is just flying around the area all the time >.< no idea how to enter.
Would be cool if you can add a lil background music :D
overall, well made !
No mining is involved! You just fly straight upwards, into the tan-colored parts, to explore the inside of the asteroid
Great idea, I enjoyed this game a lot. An issue I found is because the asteroid rotates, you can spawn while the entrance is far away (at least on lvl 2) and waste most of your energy getting to it, which is a bit of a pain, it would be ideal to make the spawn point rotate with the asteroid. Would definitely like to see an expanded version after the jam!
Thanks for the review!
Moving the spawn point with the entrance is a good point, I may consider it if I make an expanded version of the game.
I wish it had sound so I knew when I messed up. Also that there were more than two levels, it was over right when I finally got the hang of moving without wasting energy! The floating objects were a nice touch, and the instructions written into the asteroid were very well done.
Thanks for the feedback!
Sound effects and an additional level were definitely on my list but I just didn't have enough time.
Nice work! The controls are clear and simple, and the game fits the theme really well.
Thanks!
